I'd substitute "mean" with the word "effective".
If I come face to face with a witness who turns the other way or rudely brushes past [as if I am dead], I will point out to all in the area [carefull not to appear the raving lunatic] that this is the way Jehovah's witnesses act toward one who has quietly left their faith.
Have you actually had this type of encounter, yet, Jeff?
I did this week. A face to face confrontation with a man answering yes when I asked if he was an elder in the local congregation { he may have been a traveling overseer, so I wanted to be sure WHAT I was about to be dealing with }.
The entire area within a one block radius may have heard me questioning and informing them of current events within their "religious organization" that kills its members by not providing solid facts, yet uses misrepresentations of secular ones. Oh yea, I was right behind them as they STOPPED going to doors and made a b-line for their NEW CARS. All the while, speaking loudly, not shouting, about why it is that they are out in our hood telling us, with FALSE RELIGION TRACTS (that's what started it...two sisters came to my door with THE TRACT and I grilled them about their true intentions at my door...and showed them the JESUS CANO flier I have by the front door...she says "I've already seen THAT FLIER"...I asked "where"? She said "some woman came to my door"...LOL!!!! I told her that I thought I recognized her and that that woman was ME. She turned white...lolololhahaha....and said she was done arguing. I laughed and asked who was arguing...we were having a discussion on epidemic child abuse that is just as covered up as the CC...they stopped talking and kept walking down the steps...I told her I was going to go to every door they go to, with these fliers and tell them facts that the jws won't and to question them next time they come by...AND SO I DID.}
After I caught up with the sisters, around the corner, I saw a man {knew it was a higher ranking male member...the arrogance oozed out of his ears} up the r oad with another group of sisters, no other men were present}. I walked at a calm pace, fliers in hand, towards all of them. They finally saw me and the man whips out his NICEEEEEE CELLPHONE { I later 'complimented' him persecutingly...lol} and starts dialing. I wonder if he is actually going to perhaps call the police...not sure who he called...wish it was the police...my freedom of speech to my neighbors is as important as they cry about...so I was ready for that.
All the sisters make it to the car. He gets hold up at the corner due to traffic. I get right up to him and ask why he won't listen to what I have to say and what I do say, he dismisses. He asks what religion made me this upset!!!! LOLOLOL!!! I said that is not going to work...tell me why you won't be honest with the householders, telling them that the core motivation that drives you to preach FALSE RELIGION YOURSELVES GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM, is so that you will reap everlasting life and not die at armageddon, by the hands of your Watchtower GOD...JEHOVAH? Tell them about the shunning policy, the no blood policy, the estrangement that will take place when you become a jw and other family membs do not...tell them NOW...not after weeks of bible study, meetings and TMS, where things are drilled in your mind and start to eat at your soul...He asks what my name is...lol...I said that is not important. He says well I won't talk to you anymore if you don't give me your name....lololol I said you don't ask people at the door their names, yet you can't seem to shut up then...I told him that I would not doubt that he and his field misery klan will go back to their meetings, use this experience and call it persecution by Satan at its finest and the audience will all clap gleefully...lolololol....he makes it across the street...i tell him I'll see him at the k.h....he says, fine, it's open to public. I said, that will be interesting to WITNESS!
Backtracking a bit, I also pointed out loudly, as we stood at the corner, that the more dangerous aspect of jws child abuse and CC is that JWS ARE ON OUR PROPERTY AT AT OUR DOORS and may be someone who is from another congregation and no one knows his past offenses or that he was re-instated after a bullcrap repention {if that isn't a word, it is NOW!}...That the public needs to stay aware of strangers like these, knocking on your door, telling you are of a false religion, bashing the world we live in and that they have advantages to yet still hate the world so much that that is what their literature is filled with, as well as their underlying message...it isn't about anything else...I said this and more as I escorted them out of my hood and told them when they come back, I'll still be here.
_______________________________
The goal was to get them to leave the neighborhood. Success is sweet.
This terroristic litter-ature should not be peddled, anywhere. Escorting them out of the hood, loudly proclaiming facts, backed up with documents, gets them to leave quickly. Proclaiming their right to do so is countered with the same for me. I am allowed the right to follow them to every door and counter their pitch, with facts and resources to research. THEY HATE IT!!! LOLOLOLOL I LOVE IT!!!! Just try to shut me up now! ~sigh~
Alright, that's enough for now. This should inspire someone. LOLOLOL!!!! {I can just hear the sugarcoaters now...blah, blah, blahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....}
