everyone else.Some are obnoxious, most are pretty decent.

I remember 25+ years ago, my father was helping me with an addition on my house. I had gone in to fetch a couple beers, and heard some commotion. My father had let my dog loose on some JWs who were in the driveway. When they came up, my father kept dogging them, saying the bible said to help your brother, and trying to hand them shovels.

I ended up on good terms with a few of those people that day. A couple continued to visit me. Although they are "other-worldly," these two women would help me when I did food & clothing drives for the Onondaga and Mohawk Territories. I introduced them to many of the Onondaga people, and it was never a matter of one group trying to "convert" the other. Rather, it was mutual respect among people who recognized the advantages of living in the margins of the empire.
