My lovely wife warned me from the upper floor: close the windows, Brother X is at the front door.
So, there they are again, for their required visit before the memorial.
I don't like it, you never hear from them, only in the week before the memorial. Strange, isn't it?
So sectarian.

@Gorby fyi I wouldn't take the lack of responses here as that no one cares or is interested. More like man we've all seen this before.
Dealing with the same, I want to tell them to get bent as the expression goes but I don't want to set off any alarms either.
For the record with the numbers exiting I wouldn't be surprised if these efforts ramped heavily in the coming years.
If you don't want them to come over and bug you just say your not participating in any religion so therefore you would appreciate it if you would not call about religious matters.
This is a long standing WTBTS and JW tradition. An ever yearning desire to prove to themselves and the public at large that their religion is viable and robust.
The corporate mentality kicks into overdrive around the annual Memorial, the only actual formal event they have come up with as they desperately work to drive this once a year attendance gambit.
The sum total are numbers that are far from informative other then being misleading. 19 or 20 million attending....... actual JW's 7 or 8 million. For me it demonstrates what a failure their message is, how ineffectual their approach to their ministry is and how off putting their corporate mentality and lam doctrines are. The Memorial: an annual failure of heart and soul...........JW style.
Same here tiki. As it's the last Saturday before the big event lol, I thought we may get something but no, not even a whiff of the elders.
My father in law did give my wife an invite last week saying: ' I know you probably wont come but here's an invite anyway'!
We have not bee approached for several years now. I have been watching but so far none this year either.
Last time they were here I sternly said " We are on the do not call list, you should know that. Please do not come back".
I guess that worked.
Since that time I have been working on what I would say to them if they did knock. But hopefully won't get a chance to use it. That kind of thing happening on my Saturday would likely send me into high anxiety and a massive migraine, ugh
They haven't been here yet either, but we're cautious about answering the doorbell. Have to check and make sure it's UPS or FedEx.
