I wonder what type and how many different prescription meds there on!

Ha, I saw one today at Target. My cart was full of Christmas wrapping paper and bags. I don't go out of my way to talk to them.

My reaction now a days is that I feel bad for them. I used to feel anger but I have matured since then and realize they are not bad people. They are just stuck in a tough spot.

If you are DFd or DAd, don't feel that you have to hide when you see JWs coming.

The WTS is so apostate paranoid right now that when they see you, they will be the ones heading for the hills.

If they do walk past and shun you, all they are doing is giving you additional reasons not to seek reinstatement.

It really depends on my mood, dear MiniMan (peace to you!)... and what I may be doing at the time (i.e., cleaning house, washing my hair, driving in the car, yardwork out front, taking public transit...). My emotions run the gamut: from "Oh frick! I do NOT feel like dealing with them today!"... to "Oh, those POOR people, it's SO hot/cold out!"... to "Maybe I can help them see from their own Bible..." to "Yeah, c'mon, bring it! Let's talk about that Watchtower... and the WTBTS!"

Usually, it's the third but, really, it depends. I certainly don't always like stopping what I'm doing to answer the doorbell - I have one of those loud, stoopid "Tower of Notre Dame" kind of sounding doorbells... da-da-dum-dummmm... dum-dum-da-dahhhhh! The dang thing resounds through the whole house like the call bell for Sunday mass! The puppies literally go WILD! Imagine: bells bonging... two dogs yapping... all to hear the sing-song "Jehovah's Witnesses" when I call out "Who is it?" and open the little teeny "door" in my door. All I can do, somedays, not to shout "Go 'way!" and slam it closed (like the "guard" in the Wizard of Oz!). I've never done that... but I'd be lying if I said I never want to.

Good question! Thanks... and peace to you!

I saw a few mindlessly working a neighborhood as I was driving the other day.

If you have the time--

I would park my car around the block and intercept the JWs in order to engage them in a discussion. Anyone who is been on this forum for a year has the tools to make their head pop. If this happened to them every month, the average JW would begin to see that something is rotten in Patterson, NY. They might not leave the KH, but they would probably stop trying to actively recruit anyone into the KH.

last time they came to the door, I got angry. Normally I just say no thanks and shut the door. but for whatever reason, asked them if they did not read or study and they said they did and i said they only read what they were told to read and allowed to read and i said that isn't research. I left a post about this a while because I was suprised by my reaction. i guess reading here has brought back some memories, and I'm sort of pissed off by the whole thing.

I think I'm going to work on my discussions with them and try and make them think as was suggested above, i'd wished someone had done it for me, i don't know if I would have taken it to heart but it will be fun trying. They may never come back if they are really watching for people who are better informed than they are.

Last time I saw them (....first time in 3 years years, really....) I don't know why but I was COMPLETELY OVERCOME BY ANGER.......

I had to remind myself that they were just brainwashed drones and didn't know any better.......

Later though, I am still baffled by mY anger....

I am classed as a DNC now, they DON'T DARE knock on my door! To ''try'' and reason with people under mind control is not worth the anger and the evil that surrounds to come near my home.

A while back I had a dubbie knock my door and while I engaged him in some questioning he said he had to go and made out I was keeping him lol!

Peace

I'm surprised I'm as well recieved as I am by most Witnesses. I wonder if they'll be as cordial when my mom eventually passes.
