It seems that the visiting witnessing group is becoming an endangered species - rarely seen.
Is that your experience?
When were the dubs last in your area?

I saw some people in bad suits walking really slowly about a year ago, and in my last house a tract was put through the letterbox, maybe 18 months ago. Apart from that, nada.
It's been close to a year since they've been here.
But I expect them to soon be knocking on my door (and I won't open the door to them) leaving a Memorial Invitation. And........I will probably be getting a phone call or two by the one who used to be relentless at ringing me up.
Sure glad I have caller ID! Then he blocked his phone number on caller ID thinking I would be dumb enough to answer if I didn't know who it was.
So I blocked the blocked calls and when anyone calls that way, the phone voice says that I do not accept blocked calls.

oh my word, you should live near me. its crawling with jws. they are like ants........they are everywhere. they come round all the time - they must have heard armageddon coming real soon because they are very busy.
everywhere i go i meet Jws. i catch a bus, one starts talking to me. i go to work, theres jws there. i go out socializing - oh theres another two (there always seem to be two of them). i went on holiday recently and got talking to two very nice woman - guess what - jws.
maybe Jehova trying to tell me something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
When I was 'in', I thought we were inundating the world - that was illusion and fantast I guess.
Since I am out - I never see witnesses in service except when they stop for coffee at the place I go in the morning. They rarely stop there now - since I force them to talk to me kindly. I am on the 'shunning list' - right at the top I think - but I make them follow thier own rules. I am not DF'd and I will not allow them to be bastards without interference! [sorry bad word]

I can't remember the last time I saw JWs going around preaching since I left the borg. Of course I live in a residential/commercial area that doesn't have sidewalks for the 'dubs. And thats a good thing.
I haven't seen them preaching near my home since I moved here over a year ago. But I doubt they'd knock on my door. I'm sure I'm marked down as a 'do not call'.

We've lived in our new house going on 5 years and only once did the witnesses come around. Thank goodness for them my wife didn't answer the door. She would have given them an earful. I never see any of the witnesses from the old congregation. Not that I'm complaining.
Walter, YOU a 'do not call'? They must be still pissed about that Governing Body dousing themselves in gasoline and setting themselves ablaze comment you made.
I never see them. However I did see some about 2 years ago walking around other than that I hardly ever see them anymore.
