At first I would not answer the door. Then my adult son was over one day and let a "sister" in. By the way, this was several years after we stopped attending meetings. She must have been auxillary pioneering because it was right before the Memorial. Shortly thereafter a very nice older sister began to call on us. My daughter would answer the door and take the magazines because she didn't want to be rude. I finally got sick of being disturbed and politely told her that we didn't read the magazines and that she shouldn't waste her time. She seemed genuinely upset. Guess she really doesn't want us to die at the "Big A". Or maybe she just didn't want to miss an easy return visit and magazine placement. This was several months ago and we haven't been bothered since. I'll bet the gossip mill is running wild.
You know, it really felt like a load was lifted off my shoulders when I finally spoke up. I am beginning to feel a sense of contentment that I didn't feel in my 23 yrs. as a JW.
