Similar story, not an ex-JW. I'm basically the only atheist in the family.

Welcome.

How many did you manage to convert on the doorstep?

Do you record all the hits in a log book?

I always enjoy the JW visits to my front door. It's one of the few opportunites I have to attempt to really change someone's life for the better.

Welcome.

A large portion of my family are JWs.

So, that immediately makes you smarter than a large portion of my family.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

Ha! None. Smile People might be polite, but it takes a real stretch for anyone else to be credulous about JW beliefs, unless they have an interest in doing so (usually a spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend). Most of them today are born-in.

And they do record some information when they go out, particularly if no one's home.

Hi! I'm sure they mean well, in their own little world, but you know them better than I could. I know some pretty naive and asinine JWs, for sure.
