Do JWs suffer from foot and mouth

    Do JWs suffer from foot and mouth? The reason I ask this, is whenever I see them in the street, they seem to have lost the ability to speak and immediately look down at some problem they are having with their feet. Has anyone else noticed this, is it a medical problem and what’s more, can it cured?

    Strange that, happened to me recently. People who have always spoken to me and asked my help, suddenly have this problem, I never thought it was 'foot and mouth'.

    Just feel sorry for them, they are obviously in a very sad state.

    From what I remember, this is a serious and incurable condition. The only solution is destruction and incineration. Medical experts say that since most people have natural immunity to the condition, it is safe to wait until the end of time when the supreme doctor will perform a mass destruction and incineration. They have named this event 'Project A'

    Another equally serious but occasionally curable condition displays itself in subjects who don't suffer from foot and mouth and are thus able to make vocal expressions.

    It's called foot IN mouth.

    Recently I have been an active 'anti shunning' person!

    It's only been the last few months that I have had the courage to do this actively and I strongly believe it is the best way to deal with JWs!

    If they try to ignore me, always shout 'Hello' kindly and smile at them. It throws them in a big way. There's a JW window cleaner I run into regularly on a Friday! My husband is always telling me off for forcing this Elder to say 'Hello' to me, because I smile and wave, and call to him. The poor bloke has even tried hiding his head in his bucket, but no one can resist a pretty face with a smile on it, especially when that smile is directed at them, and them only!

    Last Friday, I was told 'If you don't leave him alone, he's going to fall off his ladder one day trying to avoid you!' Husband gets a bit annoyed sometimes!

    However, one grabs ones entertainment where one can!

    Today, I trapped on JW trying to avoid me on a central reservation. She's been unwell and I went gently with her. She's avoided me for four years now so I did lots of smiling, and told her how well we all were and very happy. Then I turned my attention to her health problems and gave her a little advice on that which she said she would follow up. She was 'rescued' by a passing JW who called to her from across the road. The 'rescuer' attempted to ignore me, but I didn't allow that and she quickly caved in and waved back!

    Did I tell you we have a JW post man now! I never used to bother going to the door when the post man came, I just let him post the letters. When I get time, I open the door, smile and say 'thank you'. I've known him since he was about 12, and he knows he 'shouldn't' really be saying 'hello' to me, but the poor bloke is trapped! I'm sure he was trying to sneak up the path yesterday and post the letters silently, but my parrot always starts sqwauking when she hears him!

    There are always the JWs that will not ignore anyone of course! These are worth cultivating as you can tell them how well you and your family are, and are doing, and also so normal human kindness to as any normal person would.

    I don't allow the local JWs to have foot and mouth anymore!

    The only JWs we shun back are my inlaws who have treated us so shoddily for all our married life, and also shun our children.

    Now them.....well! They're lucky not to have me 'mooning' at them when I see them!

    This is definitely a problem I have noticed.
    Another symptom of this is a grave expression and a speeded up walk.

    No but most elders wives are mad cows!!

    Thats too funny although I think you purposefully hang around places you know you will come into contact with JWs- its obvious, you even have your parrot trained.

    DB74! You have me sussed! I was considering nipping out to do some shopping when the local JWs finish their FS this morning so that I get to say 'Hi' to lots of them. I love a challenge!

    It's taken over four years to get to this stage and I know it seems a bit daft but I really do enjoy making them say 'Hello' when I've allowed them to shun me for so long. It's a big 'V' sign really.

    I'll probably get fed up in another year or so....or more, but at the moment......it's really just a bit of fun that breaks the monotony of the school run and shopping!

    Instead of playing 'spot a red car!' I play 'spot a JW and force them to say 'Hello!'

    Sad really!
