Aren't you violating JW rules by interacting on this forum?
Do they have trolls in the JWs?

I always find it amusing that the kids that rock up at the door are called "elders". They are always glassy eyed spotty teens.

I thought it was the Mormons who called their door knockers "elders"
An interesting aspect of the JoHos is that women are not allowed to instruct the "men" but they make up around two thirds of the active membership and do the majority of door knocking.
I had a couple of them knock on my door a number of years ago. One was a European woman who did the talking while the other was a big Pacific Island guy who just stood back with his arms folded and tried to look tough.
I asked the woman if the guy was supposed to be intimidating and laughed as I closed the door in her face.

I’m surprised you didn't close her face in the door.
