I always figured that people thought the Witnesses were pathetic. I dreaded to think about the thoughts conveyed in those letters or the grammar, or the spelling. It was torture to stand on a doorstep with a poorly-educated, poorly-spoken representative of the Most High God who couldn't gather his thoughts into anything at all coherent, while he drove people mad with impatience.
I couldn't blame a lot of them for cutting us off and saying that they weren't interested.
