Do You Try To Avoid The Witnesses When You See Them? (page 2)

No. The ones i know i always say hello and am willing to talk even ones i don't know.

If I don't know them, then I try to avoid them. If I know them and had a good past with them, then I usually talk to them.

Like the plague.

I can't stand any of them. Pathetic self-righteous hypocrites.

The JWs where I live now don't know me as a JW so I only see them when they're out preaching.

I enjoy engaging them in conversation and challenging them.

It depends on my mood. If I am tired and I run across some, I go the other way. But for the most part no. I enjoy running into them with a big ole smile on my face. They all know I have "left Jehovah", but for some reason still speak to me but leave confused that I seem quite happy and well adjusted.

And no... I am not fading anymore, nor DF/DA.

It's weird, when I was in, I used to run into them all the time at places other than the KH. Now it's an extreme rarity to see them even working our street is a rarity. Do they ever go out anymore except to push tracts?

They ignore me or pretend not to see me...it's kinda funny since I am a very petite 60 year old white gramma, not imposing at all!

I was at my wife's uncle's home in Philly when 2 approached me. I told them I had studied many religions & found the JW's interesting but having a few flaws in their beliefs. I had a great time debating birthdays, 1914, meaning of a generation & other topics. The older of the 2 just never left the corporate mentality, but the 20 yr. old was a different story. He never said a word, but I could see him leaving with a whole new perspective. If you ever get the chance, try reverse witnessing especially with young adults. Who knows, you may even save a life.

Mr quick, I like it but it's not practical if someone knows your background.

I'll keep going to the only coffee shop, post office, and hardware store in this little town on Saturday morning. If I see them, I'll say hello, and if they want to reply and chat, that's fine. If they don't, that's fine too. My life is not under their control.
