Old JW at my door says," Check it out".....

Cmon now, even I was better at the door thatn this poor old fella. So, I'm sitting here reading the latest threads and my door bell rings, yeah, just 2 minutes ago. So, I'm thinking maybe it's the mail man with a package I'm expecting, no it's an older, like 70, jw bro. Right off the bat I see the mags folded tucked next to his nwt in his hand. So, he says, " I have these journals that I'd like you to read, one is "Why God saved Noah". He also says, " Check it out". I really wasn't that quick on my game today as I wasn't feeling well. So, I said "ok". I took them from him and again he says," Check it Out". Feeble, eh?

Anyways, I have them here and one is a Wt dated June 1, 2008. The awake is dated December 2008. What a match, huh? I am sure I can expect a return visit as I am now in his placement book as INTERESTED, wouldn't you think? Anyways, next time he returns I'll be ready with some snappy questions that he won't have answers for.

Tell him, "I checked it out. Did you realize your religion teaches...."

I quit!

Cmon now, even I was better at the door thatn this poor old fella.

Hey... he got you to take the magazines. Another feather in his cap.

Finally-Free

What an enthusiastic presentation!

Toward the end I wasn't much better. "Watchtower and Awake! Ya wannem?"

Don't hold your breath waiting for a return visit. 2 women placed magazines with me back in June. I made an effort to act really interested. They never came back.

They couldn't possibly know I'm an "apostate". I live at the other end of the city now, and no JWs out here know me.

Yeah, like so many others I felt sorry for him, that's why the older folks get so many placements. But, to think that I have been preparing for a visit by them for so long and I wasn't on my game. That's what tees me off.

But, he didn't open with a scripture, no hope for the future, last days, The BIG A, none of that. Just this pathetic, " Check it Out". I was very inspired. He could have baptised me on the spot.

Next time.

Finally Free.....Ya, they evidently haven't gotten the word that I live here. I guess my older son dropped the ball there, guess it's not important to him, good. My annonymity is intact.

It would be nice to see all JW's being this enthused, show's lack of interest. Just wishful thinking, that maybe they will see the real "new light".

A lot of people are kind to elderly dubs.

A friend of mine admits that she lets an old lady call on her because its winter and she needs to get warm. And she has a moustache and beard (wonder what the elduhs think of that?)

Oh yes she said "I haven't got a clue what she's talking about, I just say yes and no where it seems right."

May be he'll be cool with you checking them out and won't return....He does sound very laid back. Even if he returns, he could be too spaced-out to care what you really think. As for answering your questions...? he may find it difficult to round up two active brain cells to bother. S adly, the current breed of older JWs ain't like the old timers who'd corner you as quick as put eyes on you.

Part of me would want to be kind to a 70 year old wactower salesman.

Nothing I am going to tell him is really going to improve his life or mental well being at this point in his game.

But I have a lot of different people in me, as we all do.

And one person in me, says he is spreading the poison, hes a rattle snake on the sidewalk and their are little children playing nearby.

I wouldnt kill or step on an ant. But their are people in me that would milk the venom out of a rattlesnake if I catch them on the right day.

I'm not scitzophrenic by any means, I've just been reading this week the "Fourth Way" by P.D. Ouspensky.
