Last night my husband and I went to the local hole in the wall bar for supper . Real small local bar . We sit at a table and my husband notices this guy behind me at the bar is a witness he knows from another town a few hours away from us . They were friends years ago , this guy had been out for quite a few years and just recently maybe four yrs.ago came back into j-dum.
When my husband goes over to say hi the guy gets all defensive of why he is sitting at the bar drinking ....he stumbles all over himself making excuses that he is there with a work client . (Like we care) We just try to talk normal to him like, hi how are you ect....( but the fear really grips him ) Then he starts saying WOW wasn't the assembly really great this year ! Were you guys there I didn't see you this year .How about the new CO he is really great right ........... LOL,. I start laughing and finally say "Listen Dave we weren't there this summer in fact we have been inactive for over a year .So no we don't even know who the new CO is glad you like him ."
OOOhhhhhh ! Then a little more small talk and he stillcovers himself saying well we are going to the restrurant next . I laugh again and say, 'Yeah there is a good bar in there too!" , at which his client gets a good laugh .
Poor guy couldn't just be normal . Remember being afraid of being seen in the wrong place and always being worried because you know Witnesses are the spectacle of the world and God forbid you stumble someone ..sheesh what awaste of energy.
