I've thought to myself before that they're probably running really low on places left or are fudging the numbers. According to Wiki there's almost 120,000 Kingdom Halls in the world. If only one person from each had a place there'd be not many spots left for the other 7 million members. Within a couple of generations you'd expect there to be no places left... but they've been up and going for 150 years or something. Bet there's quite a queue of people up there with dodgy tickets now. Darn scalpers.

IIRC the runner up prize is eternal life on earth with your body magically fixed up or something along those lines.

I may or may not who it is. In the past it's always someone who's supposed to be in the house who got locked out and who can't text me for some reason, or something similar.
If it's not likely to be that, then fuck no, I do not open the door late at night to anyone that I don't know well. If there were multiple instances of someone knocking on my door at night I'd be super skeeved out that it was either someone casing the place to rob, or that even worse, someone with even worse intentions.
But, if you live in a neighborhood with lots of kids it's also possible that it's just kids being assholes. I don't know if ding dong ditch is still really a thing..and normally people ring the bell..but anyways, if I were you I'd get some motion sensor lights and some big ass, clearly visible cameras. A beware of dog sign doesn't hurt, even if you don't have a dog. Most crimes are crimes of opportunity, and some simple deterrents will scare off most of them.

How ironical for this voyerism thread.

Imagine someone knocking on your door while pumping that peace of meat.

Chillout, I do get where your coming at and i do like that thread, it gives a great picture in my mind, imagine a large harmless & loving community like that living together. 
By the frequency of sent signal one will know, thru the vibration/sound delivered by the knock on the door comes the sense of the intent. Whether it is a invasive etc, for some chitchat or a daring AF knock that wants to join a good time. My beloved homey & I was in the middle of kamasutra/trip one time, that we commented w/ a smirk at the same time, on a particular knock, damn here comes mom.

Want to know somehig terrible besides me, my brother, and friends doing the knock and run thing? In Texas it was called n****r knocking. I didn't know any better until I was about 12 or so. Also those Brazilian nuts were called ******toes, so fucked up.
If someone knocks late at night, hell no I won't answer. I keep a 38 close enough to me to access easily if someone breaks in. My friends and family know to call 1st if they will be coming by late, hopefully.
