Keep em coming won't you?
Jw's forcing "niceness" on people

I'm also being love-bombed at the minute, via text messages, phone messages and even cards through the door!
They are just not getting the message that I've gone, I'm out of there, I've walked and nothing on earth is ever going to get me back.
Hey, Highdose and Phizzy, I think I'm going to use that quiet and peace tactic with the "nice ones" though next time I see an elder I am going to be a whole lot firmer.
A thought...anyone...do you think JW's know the meaning of the word hypocrisy?

It's a scam. Go back, and I can guarantee that the niceness will disappear, and the reason you dropped out of the cancer will once again be obvious.

I have had them admit that what they had just told me was hypocritical, but there was nothing they were going to do about it.
Their instructions come from Jehovah via some old men in Brooklyn and they admit that when they have left themselves no other escape route.

"Please leave now, and put me on your do not call list." That's what I told the two I found wandering around my yard last week.
I have neither the time nor the energy to waste on them.

Chariklo-I know what you mean, I'm getting love bombed too. People sending cards, sometimes with small 'gifts' in them. The phone calls stopped, since I have been known for years as one who doesn't like to talk on the phone, I was able to avoid the calls that came without much problem. But the cards are still coming, as well as the greetings from various ones at the hall, via my family. I'm not going back either.

Hi Toenail! :) Yes, I had a card a couple of days ago and today a succession of text messages.
My biggest problem is I find it hard to be rude to people who are being SOOOOO nice.
But I think I'm going to have to steel myself.

"...I had a card a couple of days ago and today a succession of text messages..." Chariklo Unsolicitated text messaging are nowdays classified as an example of harrassment. I may be incorrect unless its advertisement. Chariklo, you may have a right to complain to law enforcement authorities about this. Please, save those texts as evidence. Chane # as well. Its important for them to know this. Are these god's people? Is that the way how Jesus and his disciples behaved? Are we foolish not to realise that fake niceness from the real ones? Iam very ashamed of myself how comes they fooled me for so long a time? 16 years in all.

This permafrost niceness is not just a manipulative tactic. They always make sure they have an advantageous out, no matter how YOU proceed.
As you said, "they had a "nice friendly conversation" with me, its related in a tone of extreme hopefulness. When i'm unfriendly to them it gets related back as " i was only trying to be friendly but she was so rude!" Its all very very clever."
This way no matter how the conversation/contact goes they can either take credit for "helping" you or not be blamed for your apostate rudeness.
They don’t care if it was the most painful conversation you’ve ever had, in their mind it's a win win.
