I just had a funny thought and I thought I would share it with you guys and see if someone else hasn't ever done such a thing.
I am disfellowshipped. For some reason, I thought about taking one of my friends to the Kingdom Hall. This friend was raised Hindu in another country. He goes to Hindu temple, but also goes to meditate elsewhere and occasionally visits a liberal unitarian christian church. So he's kind of all over the place and spiritually diverse. I think he takes his meditation most seriously. He does the Hindu thing just because he was raised that way or maybe his mom wants him to do it. He told me he just likes the people at the unitarian church. He took me to the church once, so I guess that's why this thought crossed my mind. Not that I'm trying to convert him to JW, of course. He's too smart to ever go for it anyway. It would just be for fun to show him the crazy place I used to go.
It would probably be a Kingdom Hall I have never been to and likely no one there would know me. I was just thinking hypothetically about what would happen. I'm sure soon after we entered the door, we'd be approached to find if we were potentials for lovebombing/conversion. I can't see myself trying to hide my status, but neither would I volunteer it, but I imagine they would ask how we heard about them, and I'd tell them straight away, 'I used to be a JW some years ago, and I just wanted to show my friend the place I used to go'. That's where I think it might get interesting. Of course, they know they are not supposed to talk to me. But my friend would be a potential convert, but would they be wondering how much poison the disfellowshipped person has fed him. Or would they think I was a misguided disfellowshipped person who's still trying to bring in new converts when I'm supposed to be keeping my mouth shut.
So has anyone ever done such a thing, that is, taken someone who has never had any significant contact with the Jehovah's Witnesses to a meeting at a Kingdom Hall after you were disfellowshipped or disassociated, just for amusement, just to show them the crazy place you used to go?
