Do you feel a need or desire to help or talk to cultists for any reason? In most cases, I don't.
I kept quiet when it was an elderly lady at my door that I knew had been a JW all her life. I have also passed street witnesses with mixed results.
I passed one at the supermarket and simply told him, in his language: "Your religion is false". That was as much as I wanted to tell him. Another one was in a wheelchair and my pity for him kept me from saying much.
I have yet to be aggressive (in a polite manner) with anyone. I keep telling myself that I should say something of substance but I'm a non-confrontational person at heart. Damn!
I never say anything because of the fact that when I was "in" when people said things to me it didnt make a dent.
No matter what they said I had a wall up that discredited anything they said. Anything.
So I guess I just go situation by situation now, is the best way to describe it.
The least I do is just walk by.
The most I have said is " I am a JW but have backed away and cannot support the current direction they are headed in."
I am non confrontational too - damn also! LOL
I heard a knock on the door, and...

The only time I see them is before the memorial when they deliver the invite. It's usually two sweet old ladies and I just smile and take the invite and say, "Thank you!"
They're just too sweet and friendly and elderly to bother them. I just let it go.
For me it all depends upon what mood I`m in at the time.Not that they ever call that often.

I have yet to encounter some at my door. I usually just have tracts in the door when I get home that get tossed. I would just tell them about the news articles I read and get their reaction that way.
Right on, rebel8. This was my last encounter.
"You are Jehovah's Witnesses, right?"
"Yes."
"You are not welcome here. DON'T come back." *shuts door*
Then, I called the KH and left a msg. with my address and requested a DNC note on the territory card. They didn't come back.
If I decide to confront or have any discourse with them, it will be at their KH or trolley. My home is my sanctuary, no JWS allowed.
