  Wow, we must really be on someones radar. We've recieved three intives to the assembly next weekend. Two were just put in the letter box. The first one I think was from someone that doesn't know we were JW because that was the only thing in there. Thursday I was in the back yard cutting the grass and I got "caught". One of the elders in the hall came around to the back yard when he heard the mower, just about scared me out of my skin!! He left two mags and told me the CO was at our cong this week.

  This morning there were two more mags and another invite in the letter box. I was home all morning and they didn't knock (if they did the dogs would have barked). Must have just been a "visit" to let the CO know they called on all the inactive ones in the territory!

  Two were just put in the letter box.

  In the United States that is a federal offense. No one but postal carriers are allowed to put things in other peoples mail boxes.

  Did you know these two elders? Or do they make it a point to come into your backyard regularly? That would have pissed me off.

  Purza,

  I know the one elder, but just on a superficial basis. He's an older man, was moved to our cong and the territory boundaries changed for him and his son (also an elder) because our hall needed elders. He's quite elderly and not in the best of health.

  I wasn't too happy to see them - I'd been digging gardens etc all morning, and just was finishing up cutting the grass. My hair was a mess, I was dirty and sweaty. Why can't I look like Martha after she's been digging around in her garden!!!! ;-)

  Your soul must be EXTREMELY important as Jahoover is trying VERY hard to save it... I mean, the cost of these tracts must be what, oooooooh, 1p a piece, and the Holy Spirit guides the dubs, so like I say, your soul must be worth something... you sure you're not annointed?

  You need a NO TRESPASSING sign in plain sight! The elders (and all JWs, actually) have been told that they have to turn around and walk the other way when they see one on private property.

  Mine works like a charm. It says NO SOLICITING, NO PEDDLING, NO PREACHING. I haven't had any JWs ring my doorbell since then. We had a delivery guy bring something to the door last week and he told me he loved the NO PREACHING part... he said he gets "pestered" quite frequently, and now he knew what to do about it.

  Two weekends ago the dubs finally had the nerve to hit up our neighborhood with their tract. Funny how they all averted their eyes when they walked past our house, except for one that saw me standing in the door grinning at them. It was quite interesting to see the look of revulsion on her face.

  The kicker is that this woman and her car groupies have all had dinner at our house, been involved in our wedding, etc.

  The poor saps.
