I used to have a weekly chat with the JW that came to the door, nice older black man and some “jr” person that rotated week to week, my dogs always misbehaved and I listened politely and took the pamplet. After months of this pleasant 5 min chat, he said something along the lines of “you aren’t ever going to come to one of our meetings, are you?” and I said no, sorry. Haven’t seen him since. Now, if I could just get the democratic whatever and the PBA, Fraternal Order of blablabla, and the like to stop calling me!

I used to have (when ds was a toddler) a JW nanny who was with us for about 3 yrs until she had to quit in order to proselytize more because her bf worked at the Watchtower (which is like the most honorable job imaginable to JW) and she wasn’t good enough for him just doing the proselytizing on the weekends. She did try to bring a children’s bible into storytime until I caught it - weird versions of the well-known stories, I tell you! Alot about how women were the root of evil. Went through a string of nannies after her - she was absolutely the best and it killed me that she would rather have doors slammed in her face than get good money working for me!!
