Benne posted:The 144,000 are preordained members and includes people like John The Baptist. So it's basically like a sports Hall of Fame -- people get inducted if they're old enough. There aren't many of The Anointed left alive and they pretty much shut the door on new entrants. What happens when those "anointed" all die off? Or, should I say, what will happen, realistically? Benne posted:More serious answer: The JWs, as flawed as their doctrine and standards, are human beings too. We hated working the same routes as much as you hated seeing the same people every week. Sometimes that can't be helped, since the more influential pioneers and elders hang on to the same territories and the rest of us were forced to work the same loving addresses month after month. How do JW's feel about Mormons? I know they do similar stuff, sending teenagers out on "missions" to dress up and knock on doors, and I met one once that said there's almost a blood feud between them and JW's.

Artist's rendition:  "Could God microwave a burrito so hot that he, himself, couldn't eat it?" "I've been living a lie!"

They don't come back because your questions are a gigantic flag waving in the breeze that says "You don't want this guy." And so rather than go back and uproot their whole lives because you've shined the light on their petty little beliefs, they go back and put a big red "X" on their map over your house, and then just continue right on with their lives, probably having already forgotten about you.
