    FYI : my wife and I each sent a DA letter to the org, and our hall one an a half years ago.

    We were done with this religion completely

    This morning at 10:45 a JW appeared at our door, we invited him in and he said the org. had a "loving arrangment" in which persons who left

    would be visited each year. (None of the elders we knew, or spoke to during our transition time could make the effort to stop by, they used a new

    person)

    he sat down and asked how we were feeling since leaving the JW religion, and for the next hour my wife and him got in a serious discussion about

    broadening our minds, meaning looking past the WT belief system and "enlarging" our world.

    Well, he told us his experiences, and his deep religious studies, and how he came up to the conclusion that the truth is only taught by JW's everyone else has false doctines.

    He stated how loving the congregation is, and how nice it would be if we returned (excuse me we WROTE a letter and da'ed ourselves, what part of that do you not understand)?

    To make a long story short,,,, he appeared to be a real answer man, he had a personal experience and WT related answer for everything.

    When he left he was wondering if we wanted a return visit, I said no thank you, I'm done.

    Boy am I stressed out, dont these people understand that we left, ?????

    That was unusual. Most of us were abandoned and no one ever came back in years. Were you guys liked in that congregation? Could be he really cared and wanted to do it right, unlike the rest of the elders. Could be also that they are going after the men who left because the organization is losing them fast and they don't want to have to use lowly females to carry the microphones.

    This very unlike the old WT religion that I remember.

    Thanks for relating this. I give the guy credit for showing you some interest, although most of us would rather be left alone.

    I'm wondering if the society is looking for new ways to shore up supporters. This past Tuesday, I went with my wife to her hall where they had a visit from their CO. He spoke of their numbers (FS hours, attendance, etc) and mentioned visiting people who have faded or left the organization. Or maybe my wife mentioned that last part.

    Now I see this post of yours concerning the org's 'loving arrangement' for reaching out to ones who left.

    I suspect something organization wide may be at work.

    He might be among the very few that attempt to practice a bit of the love they preach about.
