We were sitting on the patio out the back of the house having acouple of drinks before we went out for a meal, I can't eat on an empty stomach, have to have a drink first !
The doorbell rang, I answered it, and it was a "Sister" I have known all my 61 years of life, with a Mem. invite in her hand, I told her to keep it, we already had one. I couldn't invite her in, my SIL was having a ciggie at the time, and she gets embarrassed if JW's see her smoking,she was raised in the cult, but never dunked.
The Sis. did the usual, chatted for a bit, told me about her family, and then asked us to think about going to the Reject Jesus party, she said several times "We miss you".
I did not have the heart to tell her that if they really missed us, we have been here for the last three years since we stepped inside a KH, they could have called in that three years.
I did not say either that there is no way I would ever consider attending, I did not want to make my postion too plain, the fade is going too well, so she walked off thinking we may, just may, show our faces.
Oh well, she is happy, she counts her time toward her 30 hours, and feels she tried to reach out to us.
One day, when Mum is gone, I will just tell 'em, give 'em both barrells, and enjoy seeing their reaction.
She mentioned that her and her husband are now old, the unspoken bit being she never expected to grow old in this system, they are another couple who will go to their graves with unfulfilled hopes based on the lies the WT taught them. I pity them.
I thanked her sincerely for her kindness in calling, little does she know the effort was totally wasted, as is all work they put in for the WT.
