Where have all the Jehovah's Witnesses gone?

I haven't seen them at my door seems like forever. And aluminum siding people, too. No encyclopedia salesmen either.

Who else used to ring the doorbell but seems to have vanished into thin air?

Door-to-door evangelists will give up on you if they can't lure you into their cults. (They get a bit upset when you use that word!) The JWs do now set up "sales" pitches in our town-centre, occasionally, though.

Commercial companies are unlikely to waste time on repeat visits that do not bring them your custom. Besides, it is far cheaper, easier and safer for them to try by telephone and e-post.

JWs are no longer required to go door to door proseletysing, but are now allowed to set up a stand with their literature in a public space and wait for people to show an interest. At least that is what happens in my town. The stand is set up and, a bit like a spider, if someone stops to look, the people emerge from a nearby doorway or rise from a bench where they have been having a nice chat and sell their ideas. I am happy for a bone fide follower of this cult to correct me.

@FreddieUK Rather they do it this way, to be honest.

@iamthe99 Agreed, We're all spared the embarrassment of a door slamming shut, whichever side you're on.

They stopped "temporarily" when covid was in full swing. Instead of starting it back up, they just set up carts like street vendors, still giving away Watchtower literature. I haven't personally encountered any, but have seen some stuff online about it. I wonder if their literature would make good kindling for my fire pit.
@Tumbleweed

I forgot all about them.

Has the rapture happened? they did say on South Park that Jehovah's Witness was the correct religion.
You guys are giving me a load of great ideas for films at the moment.
This film starts with the disappearance of all JWs.

Must be true - have you seen any?
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
Girls scouts and boy scouts (cookies and popcorn).
@Tastyfrzz

True :(
@Tastyfrzz

Come to think of it, where have the paper boys/girls gone?

Maybe because most people have a plaque on the door saying ......covid here ....lol
@Highskirt

If it weren't for the vaccines and other special concoctions (allegedly) conjured for other elites there may not have been a second Trump presidency
