Dubs Worked My Street Today

    This morning, I went outside for a smoke, and lo and behold, down the street I saw 2 Dubs just starting their door-to-door work. It was an older Dub brother I used to know from my old congregation, and an unidentifiable sister. I knew that they would NOT be good candidates for the current UN/NGO discussion, as he is a Dub who REALLY doesn't get it. So I decided to put a note on the door instead (because I really didn't want to bother with them).

    I wrote on the note:

    "ATTENTION JW's: DF'd, EVIL APOSTATES LIVE HERE. DON'T KNOCK."

    Well, I watched as the brother walked up to the door, saw the note, looked up at the house number, re-read the note, looked up at the house number again, and then turned around and walked to the driveway.

    He paused for a moment, then left the current mags under the windshield wiper on my van. I guess he just couldn't resist the urge. After all, he gets to count 2 mags, and you never know: Maybe one day I will turn around from my evil God-cursing ways, and get reinstated, but I wouldn't hold your breath. God still knows what he can do with it.

    Ha Ha! Well - he placed magazines with evil apostates - which broke the rules, didn't it? Thought you are not supposed to witness to anybody df's? Huh. Well- it's OK to make your slip look good I guess!

    FreePeace,

    ROFL!!!

    Thank you for your humor this morning. I'm sick, alone and needed to smile.

    Read any good philosophy lately?

    We usually let them in and witness to them. Leads to some good discussions (they don't realize the roads we take them down). Our true Jesus is no match for their false one...Jesus said that we as His followers are the "light of the world." So true! :)

    Mr Moe,

    I bet that the one who left the mags ends up leaving the witnesses one day. I used to be the same way. I just couldn't NOT talk to Df'd persons, and look at me now.

    Your note was obviously too subtle. He didn't get the point.

    Next time, speak your mind. Don't beat around the bush.

    Same here Lilacs. I couldn't help it. I always secretly thought disfellowshipping was not scriptural unless somebody did something REALLY BAD. So I tried to help even though I wasn't supposed to.

    Anyhow - FreePeace wouldn't have been allowed to talk to them - the one man knew him and I am sure would have walked away as soon as he opened the door. So - if you can't talk to them - why not give them a "warning" peppered with humor.

    FreePeace - I am almost curious enough to ask who it was - I just might know them.

    I met a witness doing street work this morning, one who was new to the cong. and did not know my background as a da'd JW.... anyway this JW started the usual spiel with a leaflet and I said that I was familiar with their stuff....

    JW: Good morning, we are showing people this leaflet this morning...
    IW: Ah, yes, I am familiar with your stuff....
    JW: Oh, we've spoken to you on the door?
    IW: Um, yeessss.
    JW: So what do you think?
    (At this point I noticed two JWs very close by who DID know me... time to get something said before they come and drag the JW away from that 'evil apostate woman'!)
    IW: I hear there have been some rumblings in your organisation just recently...
    JW: Um, no, what do you mean?
    IW: Concerning the UN? I hear you are friends with them now, not like it used to be when you called them every derogatory name you could.
    JW: I don't understand...
    IW: The Society are an NGO of the UN, they support it and are associated with it now, bit of a shock that.... (quick, quick, JWs have spotted me and are headed this way!.....)
    JW: No, you are wrong, we don't have anything to do with wordly organisations like that, no you are wrong.
    IW: No, I'm not, honestly!
    JW: No, no, you are wrong, you are wrong...(JW starts backing away, literally, walking backwards away from me)
    IW: No, I'm not - phone them if you don't believe me!
    JW beats a hasty retreat to the security of three JWs standing close by, they then stand looking at me and muttering......

    Just wish I'd not had to rush things before I was 'spotted', never mind, hopefully a seed of doubt may have been planted, or a thought that will be brought to mind later on....
