Years ago, while I was still in, I heard coworkers talk about jws leaving candy on their porch. I had to tell them I knew nothing about that practice and that I thought it sounded kind of cheesy to be honest. Over the years I 've heard the same comments about jws leaving candy behind when they find no one at home... Whats up with that? Is it official policy? Why would a company with child abuse scandals be leaving candy,of all things?

I think that is someone else. JWs only leave behind literature.

That's what I thought at first, but I talked to each of them, these were people who took the time to talk to the witnesses. The candy often accompanied literature. The reason I was thinking it might be somewhat official is that it's occured in different areas of the PNW over time.

Yes, I do mean the Pacific Northwest, sorry. I t was bulk candy so it could have been Brach's.

If a JW is doing it, it is their personal proclivity. Never heard of it in 50 years, several states and countries. Maybe it's Reverse Halloween.

Naw it's just a closet apostate leaving behind a little something that will help get rid of the taste in the "householder's" mouth after reading that crap er literature.

I don't remember anything on the monthly report that showed candy placements. Was it next to magazines or books?
