Went to visit my wife's grandparents. She is JW, he is not. He's a lot of fun.
She pointed out her 60 years worth of bound volumes lined along the wall to the ceiling. She said she was going to have the guy who made the shelves come back and reinforce them because they are buckling under the weight.
Her husband used to be very opposed, I'm sure she thought for decades that Jehovah was going to destroy him at Armageddon. Looks like old age and natural causes will be the real culprit.
Anyway, my wife's super-pioneer sister was there too. She loves to listen to herself talk about eating organic, alternative health remedies, and dropping not-so-subtle hints that I need to reach out in the congregation ("what a blessing to my family it would be", etc.)
So needless to say, it's good to get back home to reality!
