29. A friend of mine did this

A family (mom, dad, and daughter) of JWs came to her door, and she chit-chatted with them for a bit on the porch (didn't let them in), and at one point she said, "Is this your daughter? She's a cutie!" The parents nodded with pleasure, and my friend crouched down to the daughter's level and said, "Did you know your mommy and daddy are in a cult? When you get older, if you can find your way back, I'll give you sanctuary."

They booked it off the porch to the middle of the street, made some religious signs with their hands toward her house, and went back to the local Kingdom Hall where they apparently gave everyone her address as she was never bothered again.
