    So after staying at a girlfriends house last night, there I was happily cooking eggs and bacon this morning when the doorbell goes.......yep thats right. Being her house is outside the area of my original congregation, I didn't recognise the 2 blokes at the door. I stood there and engaged in polite conversation for 10 minutes and took the latest magazines. I would never be rude, but I just couldn't bring myself to say that I faded years ago from the faith......its like this frog has caught my throat. After I shut the door I could have kicked myself for saying nothing. Why is it that my mouth just drys like that........My friend said I should have said something and been more honest, mind you she'll talk to anyone!! I just said well you're on the magazine route now!

    Anyone else just go "Ermmmmm hello......etc"

    Well if youd let them know you were faded they'd feel obligated to df you for having breakfast with your gf.

    you didnt do anything wrong by not saying anything.

    If I see Witnesses I know at the supermarket or out shopping, I always stop and chat, mainly small talk. But when you're confronted unexpectedly I just clam up. Maybe it something to do with chatting to someone on "your" terms as opposed to "theirs"

    Maybe.

    I thought maybe you converted while you were gone.

    The most I would ever say was "Not interested" then when they tried to continue like they know what "Not interested" means more then I do, I just shut the door on them. I got much braver after watching Dateline. The next time two old man came to the door and would not mention they were JW's so finally I out right asked them. They finally said "Yes we are, Witnesses are the only ones that go door to door" (I guess no one has told them about Mormons yet) I said "You and Pedophiles". They looked like they were going to say something else and I just shut the door on them.

    Welcome back Scooby!
