Yea, I know they’re not “supposed” solicit but I’d rather talk to them than the stream of folks who want to inspect my roof, or whatever.
Believe it or not, I have actually READ “The Watchtower” they leave with me. I find it fairly elementary, but easily understood. I am not interested in joining their Faith, but Lord knows (pun intended), in the present World I welcome most folks who honestly hold their ‘belief.
Given the anger that TOTV sometimes elicits, I’m almost fearful of what my comments may bring ... but what the Hell, we can all have our own perspectives.
P.S. I received a brief handwritten letter from my JW-guy (Dale...) on Friday.
He simply expressed concern for all of us in these difficult pandemic times, and hoped I was doing ‘ok. His letter wasn’t ‘preachy, political, or asking for a donation. All-in-all I welcome the next time we have a chance to chat.[/QUOTE
Well written expression of another's point of view based on their personal experience.
I also had a friend who had different points of view regarding politics and religion than my own. But we got along great and truly enjoyed each other's company. We found that political and religious differences didn't really divide us. I miss him.

I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. We are writing letters out of true sincerity and care. We are Christians that follow Jesus’ footsteps which he taught his original apostles how to preach and teach. Jesus said “and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come”. And THIS is what we are doing world wide. We are respectful of the law and of social distancing by not going to your door during COVID 19. So, we are writing you a thoughtful personal letter which could be considered as an education into someone else’s faith? The receiver of a letter need not be nasty and dismissive. Opinions are an exchange of thoughts. The same as a person who goes to college receives an education of different thoughts. We have a wonderful website JW.ORG that gives a tremendous amount of information about our faith. There are tons of questions people have that have biblical answers. We are here to find sheep who have a spiritual need. So, please don’t be nasty and dismissive to a kind letter that comes your way. It is out of love and following Jesus.
