It reminds me of when I return back to my home state after being gone for about 6 months. I had gotten married and called my best friend (who is a JW) and we talked a while on the phone to catch up. When I told her I wanted to see her and her family and introduce my husband I got the "Well you know where to find us, on any Sunday morning". This is the family that used to have me over their house at least twice a week.
Would it kill them to let me stop by the house or meet them at a coffee shop?
