    I got it before 8 in the morning on a work day, as a text message. Nothing beats a warm invitation for spiritual encouragement than a quick electronic message.

    Sheesh....

    Text the at the same time the following day that you are good. But thanks for the offer.

    You might chose to ignore the text, but then you will get a call.
    "No thanks, I'm good." That is sufficient.

    Tell them you can only do the shepherding call between 9am-5pm Monday thru Friday. If they can't count the time (late evenings, Saturday or Sunday) they will not typically come (unless they are retired). Also, mention to them that you are having financial problems and may need to borrow money. Guaranteed...you will never hear back! lol

    Earlier this year, I had an elder text me at 10:30pm and he late called and left a voicemail at around midnight.

    "So glad you called brothers! It must be an answer to my prayer! I asked Jehovah to make clear to me who are NOT his chosen representatives on earth, and within 3 minutes your text came in! I'm so happy to see that God has answered my prayer and shown me the truth"

    They asked me a couple of weeks ago for a visit with the CO; "I said not at this time".
