How would you react to a sheparding call? (page 2)

I think I'd come to the door naked. It would be worth it to see their red, embarrassed, speechless faces. I'd make sure to suck in my tummy though.

Hello, dearest ForF... may you have peace!

In the 'spirit' of some others here, I would:

1. Happily and lovingly invite them in;

2. Offer them refreshment (cold drink, a meal, etc.);

3. Break out my wine, bread... and footwashing tub;

4. Ask them to take off their shoes;

5. Offer them some bread and wine, and ask them to 'give thanks' over it;

6. Eat and drink with them, and wash their feet;

7. Then ask them if there was anything else I could 'do' for them.

That is, if they stayed long enough past #3 for me to do any of this.

Peace to you!

I only had one shepherding call all the time I was in - I can't see them sparing the time now that I'm out.

As we drove home past the KH on a sunday afternoon a few weeks ago we noticed a lot of cars in the car-park so guessed it must have been the CO's visit and everyone was making an effort. Of course they were only blitzing our street as we drove in. I made eye contact with one of the brothers (not an elder, regular publisher and nice chap) as I picked up the kids super-soakers in the garden and laughed... (our street is a cul-de-sack BTW).

He started laughing too as I shouted inside for Angharad to "go get the hosepipe". It was nice to be jokey with them and hopefully it may make them think that I'm not the spawn of satan as they have probably been told.

Of course if certain elders turned up I would fire, till both chambers were empty and the hosepipe ran dry...

I would strike with a flurry of punches and kicks to the midriff and/or midsection

Sis Billygoat:

We've been missing you at the meetings lately. Do you mind if another brother and myself come by to visit you and offer some encouragement?

ONE.....

Ok folks. Now I'm sitting here picturing a "horny" Tina in a t-shirt and Andi answering the door naked. What is wrong with this picture!!! Is this one of those secret JW boards that use subliminal messaging to turn gay people straight? Oh thank god, I just got a mental picture of Dave covered in lime jello. Whew that was too close for comfort. I thought I was losing it!!!

BTW Friendorfoe the last JW that came to my door just about got their foot broken. But that's another story.

Peace and love to all,

Naeblis,

Naeblis,

I would LOVE it if elders came to give me a sheperding call !!!! My last meeting with the elders (to discuss my DA letter) was Sooooo enjoyable that I'd like to bring up other subjects that we didn't have time for before. It will never happen so its just wishful thinking.
Do elders make sheparding calls on vocal apostates ???

Hypothetical situation:

it's saturday morning and your on the other side of the ole familar knock."Hello i'm brotherdoesnthavealife I haven't seen you in a while" how would you react?

With loud, sustained laughter.

Then I would ask about "present truth" -- would I have to give up my political activity, my lovers,* and my other gods, in order to return? (No thanks.)

*definitely hypothetical at present, but they don't need to know that.

How would you react to a sheparding call?
