Now, if you have a bizarre situation like my MIL's---she'd gotten a couple of letters AND visits, then after she politely refused, the JW left a letter in her mailbox stating that she was NOT going to stop contacting her even if she asked her to stop, because she was directed by Jehovah to call on her----that might be a little different.......

Oh crap.  You just reminded me of the last time I was active in service, over 2 years ago now, there was this woman who lived out in the country who had accepted a Bible Teach book and I was just certain I was going to start a study with her!  So I began the process of stalking her, and even a few times she was home and closed her front door over the screen as we were pulling into the driveway.  I mailed her a Memorial invitation that year, and then finally after never hearing anything back, I sent her this letter basically like "Look, call me if you ever want to study."  

Man, I was so desperate for a Bible study.  

What an idiot I was.  I left it alone after that, but now I wish I could go back to that lady and be like "Soooo sorry I was a creeper!  By the way, my new friend Punk has a great dublication I'd like to share with you!"  smiley: happy
