    July 4 10:00 AM doorbell rings.
    I'm on the hopper wife is reading a book drinking coffee.
    "What the heck is that neighbor kid doing over here already" says wife as she opens door.
    "Good morning how are yoooouuuuuu?" older man and woman say. (aaahhhhhhh!)

    wife "good".
    JW "We're doing a world wide work and giving this invitation to people"
    (first time we've been visited by JW's in 2 years since moving to our new house)
    wife "No thanks we used to be JW's."
    JW "oh really what happened did you get hurt?"
    wife "no".
    JW "why did you leave"
    wife "we made a decision and decided to stop"
    JW "oooooh we really would like to see you come back"
    wife " well that isn't going to happen"
    JW "do you want this invitation?"
    wife "no"
    JW "well good bye"
    wife "goodbye"

    I proceed to hang an American flag outside the house as JW's finish canvasing the neighborhood.

    Boy does that car group have something to gossip about !!!!!

    We were caught totally off guard and wish we would have said a lot of other things.

    Oh well I'm sure they'll be back as the years go by.

    Oh you know they'll be back and if they're really bold with an elder tagging along

    Good I'll be ready for them this time.

    Maybe my status will change from faded to df'ed. I'm kinda ready for a change sometimes change is good.

    "oh really what happened did you get hurt?"

    You have to appreciate the blind obedience to the WTS with that statement! Rather then EVER THINKING that you just may have discovered that the men of the WTS haven't got a clue what they are talking about (let alone teaching as "truth" ) but instead, that YOU were "hurt".....is so typical of these people!

    I truly wonder how many nonJWs ever actually attend a DC because of an invitation given in the door-to-door work?

    JW "oh really what happened did you get hurt?"

    That's an odd question. Were they trying to find out if you were "stumbled"? If so, I've never heard it phrased that way. What do they think you would say? "Sister Rude hurt my feelings and now I can't bring myself to go into another Kingdom Hall again".

    This is why I answer my door with my 12 gauge in my hand, JW's, Mormons, Real Estate agents. ..

    Well, I feel left out. I guess they don't give invitations to know disassociated persons or their spouses.

    If you faded away they may just show up to cause you trouble. They are going to assume you either DA'd or where DF'd and if they find out you are not they will be back.
