Being Assertive with Jehovah's Witnesses

I do not walk around normally in my house sans clothing. However, for some reason, I felt that I needed something downstairs right after a bath and before dressing and since I had zero visitors at 10am on weekdays…I ran downstairs to get this item…of course…that is when I saw the pair of JWs on the front porch peering into the side window.

I retreated upstairs and ignored the doorbell. Come on. Like I was going to come back to the door. I couldn’t believe that they actually kept ringing the bell after “ascertaining” that I was indeed alive and well.

Second negative JW experience which turned me off to chiropractors: Witnessed to by a JW while twisting my head and my neck when I had no place to retreat to…sort of like being assaulted. It seems I was way too nice in week one and somehow seemed like an invitational person. He even told me that he managed to witness like ten hours a week by simply talking about his religion to his clients (being held in head locks).

honestly so many forms of crazy in this wide world–there is no justification to subject yourself to someone else’s rants or psychosis or wishes or fantasies
I have learned NOT to go to my door. Police have informed us of “magazine sellers” masking as students who are really planning robberies and casing occupants. Of course when they got to my door, some of my sweet elderly neighbors had simply handed over cash on request.

Anyone who knows me well has my cell number. Others who simply show up are often people with agendas. Sometimes their agendas are not very innocent. Like casing houses and their occupants. Local woman was involved with opening her door to three callers and ended up as the victim of a botched kidnapping plot…which she foiled by slamming her door on someone’s hand. They were all arrested with ropes and maps in the car before they left the neighborhood and convicted of attempted kidnapping. Her husband happened to be the CEO of a local business…nothing all that prominent except in small town terms but it was an attempt to extract money from him.
