It seems most likely that Jehovah's Witnesses actually have been to the door of this questioner, but during occasions when she was not at home or perhaps did not hear them. Could another family member, roommate, or worker have turned them away?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not skip any home, except when a situation seems unsafe. They work to return to homes which at first seemed unoccupied or plainly preoccupied. Jehovah's Witnesses genuinely want to reach every one of their neighbors with the bible's message of "good news".
(2 Timothy 4:2) Preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable season
Even rural areas of the United States are typically reached at least once each year. In most suburban areas, Jehovah's Witnesses typically reach each home two, three, or more times each year. In many urban areas, Jehovah's Witnesses could reach each home two or more times each MONTH but sometimes choose to pursue other methods of preaching such as street work rather than overwhelm their territory.

Witnesses don't call where they Not Welcome. People may put up " No Trespassing Signs " and those are respected. Occasionally, Jesus was shouted at by people under the control of unclean spirits. When that happened, he exercised restraint and even used his God-given power to bring relief. When some people become angry and shout at us when we are engaging in the ministry, we similarly exercise restraint, and endeavor to handle such a situation in a kind and tactful manner.

If you need a Jehovah Witness to come to your door, go to their website and input all your information, I assure you, they will be there in no time.

,You must live in a poor neighborhood. They like all religions are a tax exempt for profit corporation, and need the most monetary return on their efforts.

dunno...do you have a HUGE dog? i'm pretty sure that's why they haven't come to my house in years...my grandfather had a surefire way to get them to leave-he'd tell them that they were welcome to come in and 'share' as long as they wanted-as long as they first pledged allegiance to the american flag he had in his front yard...he had no takers
