    I'd invite you in after I checked your IDs, did a quick background check, frisked you, and you answered a few questions correctly.  I would be thrilled to meet you.  Oh, hey, be sure and bring your passport along with your DL.

    I'd say that we are already saved here and point to some neighbors down the street that need saving. 
    Oh, wait, you're not the JW, sorry.

    (That's really a pretty common response around here.)

    The JW here in my area don't seem to go door to door but I get letters in the mail from them.  I actually received one today, hand written, about preparing for disaster.   It was postmarked very close to home.....about five miles away.

    Hi Thriftymaid. Do you live in a gated community or in a Community with no trespassing signs or have your own no trespassing sign? Door to door is still the primary way of preaching where the preaching is not under ban and safe to do so.

    It's very safe here but not gated.  There indeed are signs saying no trespass at the entrance to my community.  Someone did take the time to write the letter and mail it so, of course, I read it. The few times through the years that literature was left on my front door it went right into the trash...just being honest here (you know me).

    Did you also read the magazine or just the letter?

    The letter.  I looked though the booklet.  What I got from it was God's got this.

    Interesting summary when the first part of the first article stresses the importance of preparation on our part.

    No. 5 2017 | When Disaster Strikes​—Steps That Can Save Lives

    Why is it important to prepare for disasters?

    The Bible says: “The shrewd person sees the danger and conceals himself, but the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences.”​—Proverbs 27:12.

    This magazine highlights what we should do before, during, and after a disaster.

    I didn't ask for your approval.  My guess is most people throw the whole mailing right into the trash.  I didn't.  This time.

    Nope, you didn't. We just didn't get the same thing from what we read.
