Apparently there's a group of aggressive Jehovah's witnesses doing the rounds.they come to your house first thing Sunday morning.and when you open the door they tell you to f..k off.

My ex used to ask them in, make them tea, then ask them a load of questions they were totally unable to answer.

I always have a non-confrontational chat with the JW ladies when they turn up. When I was a child, some JW used to come to our house every week. My father, who was a confirmed atheist, took a copy of their edition of the bible and used to argue with the lady every week. She came back each week because she felt he challenged her faith, and she gained from that. There were some issues at my house and she used to take me to her home for the day sometimes when it was necessary. I'm still grateful for that. So maybe I have a soft spot.

I was quite pleased to receive my handwritten letter. I might not agree with lots of the JW stuff (I'm not at all religious) but it's great that people who really believe in something reach out, and I think the people on the ground are largely well intentioned. We can agree to differ.
