My Local Dubs Love Me

    My local Dubs ä intrigue me.

    I moved to this house about three years ago. It’s a large detached house in a rural location. The nearest Kingdom Hall ä is about 5 miles away. I get pretty regular visits, about once every 3 months from different sets hunting in pairs:

    Group 1 - Two young sisters ä . My wife initially asked them to explain the blood ä issue, which they’ve never been able to, but they did leave her the What Does the Bible Really Teach book with a bookmark in the Godly View of Life chapter. They keep returning. leaving her Watchtowers ä and Awakes ä ., but always manage to miss her. Shame.

    Group 2 – A full on bible bashing elderette ä with a meek young sister sidekick. I asked them in one morning and sat them in my office. They were surrounded by my books, many of which would be taboo to the Dubs ä , including C of C. In a confrontational mood I got stuck into these two on all sorts of matters. I called the WTS ä a false prophet, spoke about 607 ä , said they ruined lives with their shunning and blood policies, but really pissed the elderette off when I told her that the Society, an obscenely wealthy publishing corporation, prevented her from having a proper relationship with her Creator. To top it I told her I was a spiritualist. Last I saw of them.

    Group 3 – A mature man, probably an Elder ä and a young guy. Not in a great mood I told them I wanted me marked down at the KH as a do not call. I told them they were a "paedophile infested cult" who should be outlawed.

    Still they keep coming back. Group 1 that is. Do you think they’re trying to get past me and get hold of my wife? Even my wife told them her only interest in them was to glean medical information. My JW sister has an appalling attitude problem with my wife just because she handles blood as a midwife. This doesn’t seem to fit with the sisters in Group 1.

    Why do they keep coming? Oh and they haven’t even given us the tract ä yet!

    So what are you exactly Clam? Ex jw, or someone who has associated but never baptised?

    They are probably using your physical location as an excuse to start or finish
    their WT Distributor TIME CARD for the day. Pioneers are never finding people
    home, and for their own conscience, they actually talk to you or the wife, thereby
    justifying their existence in the life-saving work.

    They're probably just trying to get to your wife, avoiding you.

    Some JWs seem to have an indefatigable optimism about anyone that shows the remotest interest beyond "I am not interested, Goodbye", however explicitly the person explains the purely academic reasons for their enquiry.

    Your wife says: I am a medical professional who has to care for JWs who don't seem to understand their own rules about blood transfusion. Can you provide me with clear information on your blood policy?

    JWs hear: blah blah blah blood blah blah blah......

    JWs think: This time next year I will be interviewed at the SAD about how I studied with a midwife who realised the error of her ways and got baptised!!

    JWs hear: blah blah blah blood blah blah blah......

    Close. They hear: blah blah Can you provide blah clear information blah blah blah......

    You are correct. They have a live person with any interest. Better than slamming doors.
