A Mom / Daughter team of JeHos knocked on my door a couple of years ago. After I told them I enjoyed Christmas, they trotted off. Felt sorry for the girl. She looked mortified the whole time the spiel was going on. Over and done with right? Nope. For quite a while afterward on a monthly basis, I would get a note from (based on handwriting it was the daughter writing  ) from them trying to get me to join up. Have not heard from them for awhile.End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

That sounds to me as if those letters are being printed, not handwritten. There are fonts that look very much like awkward handwriting. The OP indicated he'd compared the "e" in the return address--I'd suggest comparing more letters that appear more than once. If they are alike, then it was printed, not handwritten. Not that knowing that actually helps at all . . . . flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Got one similar a while back with a return address. Looked it up and turned out to be a Jehovah Witness facility. NRA Life Patron | |||

It's the first in a series of letters. This one shows the 10 commandments, and then Revelations, declaring that no one can keep all the commandments, and therefore you are doomed to the deep end of the big flaming swimming pool without any arm floaties or even a pool noodle. The next letter will be an offer to buy your house, cuz you won't need it anymore, and hopes that you are now softened up on the idea of selling. Or, maybe it's not.

I recently got an unsigned handwritten letter from a stranger as well. It was not as cryptic, but said something to the effect of covid being a sign of the end times and the need to accept Christ. I googled the return address and it came up as the location of the Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall a couple of miles from me. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

Years ago, a pair of JWs showed up at my front door and asked if they could share some Scripture with me. I said “Absolutely” and grabbed my Bible off the coffee table. They suddenly remembered they had an urgent appointment elsewhere and quickly left. While I admired their evangelical spirit, I was left with the impression that JWs aren’t interested in talking with folks who actually read the Bible. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||

I have a buddy that had a couple of JH's knock on his door a few years ago. They asked if they could discuss his faith. He said "sure, I worship the devil. Who's your Huckleberry?" He said they darn near killed themselves trying to get off his porch. | |||

I got a phone call from some religious proselytizer last week, and I said "Thanks but no thanks" very quickly, but now I wonder if it wasn't a Jehovah's Witness. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Does anyone find it odd this 3 1/2-year-old thread from October 2018, was resurrected by a first-time poster who has not posted here or anywhere else since? | |||

It shouldn't be too odd. I received a really strange letter that was sent to my current address as well as 3 former addresses. I Googled the letter and found someone on this forum received the exact same letter 4 years ago. I want to know if StorminNorman received additional letters or even visits from this person. This is my first time posting, because I've always believed when I need a gun there will be plenty laying around. Now I'm starting to rethink that. | |||

Thanks for replying. I was not implying any nefarious intent but a thread that has been dormant for such a long time getting brought to the first page is indeed a bit odd whether it is brought back to the top by a long-time member and odder still from a new guy. Welcome to the forum. | |||
