You did well. You planted a seed as they would say. About 5 years ago I recall a gentelman who came to the door when I was in FS and said he'd been raised a witness. He sid he regreted not have a normal upbringing: not playing sports, having friends, etc. I told him I was sorry and moved on. He left me feeling like "yeah, I know what you mean, my childhood was stolen too", but of course I couln't say that to him in FS, and the sister next to me would have had a cow. But he left his mark on me, and maybe you did the same for the witnesses at your door.

Good for you! It's not always easy remaing calm when certain subjects hit close to home. Hopefully you've planted a seed.

you may be a return call soon
heh, I doubt it. They seemed the type to just be out counting time, trying to place mags. I don't think they are especially concerned about the human condition and interested in saving anybody, especially not me, as I came across as somebody who had clearly had enough of JWs. They'd have to be very defensive to want to try to convince me. Still, hopefully they'll think about it just once. For me, it took a few dozen little events like that to get me thinking. If they were to come back I'd find it harder to hide the disfellowshipping, which means that they'd just dismiss everything I say and put our house on the records as a Do Not Call or something.
