The Jehovah's Witnesses are sending junk mail through my neighborhood. Maybe they're tired of being told to get lost in person.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I was living in a country village and got pestered by JWs from the neighbouring town.
I found a goats skeleton , so I mounted the head on a board and added a pentagram and this caption.
COME UNTO ME MY CHILDREN WITNESSES. GATHER SOULS FOR THY LORD AND MASTER SATAN.
Funny i never did get bothered by them again. Got a few smouldering looks when we went to the neighbouring town to go shopping though. Which pleased me greatly because I found out who the town arseholes were.

That must have been my mother, she’s a JW. She was probably in your neighborhood.

I get hand addressed, long hand written letters in my home mailbox. I'm one of the few permanent residents in my condo complex, and my true mailing address is actually a box at the post office, so I'm pretty sure it's an employee here at my condo complex who is sending these letters to me. She hears me talking about my "secular ceremonies" and "humanistic views" at the pool, so likely feels she needs to send me her JW letters as part of her quota. Very few people would know what apartment number I'm in, since I don't list it anywhere public.

@MsKathleen If I don't come out of my apartment for a day or two, she comes knocking on my door to check on me. I simply can't hide from her! A blessing and a curse to have so many eyes watching over me, haha.
They might have started during the pandemic to reduce risk. I have gotten some personally crafted letters with good handwriting.

I got a hand-written letter too, with an invitation to a dinner (probably "Holy Thursday" ), signed by a woman named Amy. I wonder if she lives in my neighborhood. I hope not.
@Organist1 I had some JW neighbors so I could go over and knock on their door and pester them. They varied in their observance, often getting drunk. I took my birthday week off and they knew it was my birthday. They didn’t wish me a happy birthday per se but had a keg that night. Good enough for me. Got into odd conversations given their misinformation on evolution. Good people though. One wanted me to go to the Kingdom Hall at about the same time as Easter happened to take place. That might have been fun if I took him up on it. An atheist at a Kingdom Hall. Imagine…
One thing JWs did for us is make it so we don’t have to stand for or recite the pledge. Other than that I have serious issues with their particular faith stance. The blood transfusion thing is ridiculous though officially they are ok with vaccinations. Alongside trans people they have been a canary in the coalmine of Putin’s Russia.
I had also gotten drunk on several occasions with a friend’s Muslim room mate. He only stayed sober during Ramadan. That’s an entirely different story though.
Just one more thing to throw away! Much less annoying than answering the door. Or listening to the dogs bark when I don’t.

I recycle, but my son often takes his junk mail and mails it back to the sender, using their own self-addressed stamped envelope. This, unfortunately, did not include one.
