  A Elder and A MS.

  MS: Good morning sir we like to invite you too A very special talk,

  Me: I use too walk with you people, I was A elder

  served in the missionary work and served where the need is

  great. I left after 1975.

  Elder: really, I was new in 1975 and I wonder why so

  many left, it wasn,t clear to me at that time.

  Today are you involve in any religious org.

  Me: no, Iam A agnostic.

  Elder: really, how are you mentally , your health.

  Me: I have never felt better in my life. After I was

  df I felt maybe something was liking in my faith,

  so begain studying history of JW,s and that did

  it for me.

  Elder: you have never been back since you left?

  Me: You seen the movie , the matrix, the pills

  take the blue or red, I took the wrong pill, I know

  the truth.

  Elder:The light get brighter and things we do not

  understand comes to light.

  Me: Ok, what about the generation changes, do

  you understand that,

  Elder: as I said the light get brighter. In 1975 it

  seem the friends was severing for A date.

  Me: The friends were told to go out and preach

  by the FADS, the end was near.

  The phone ring

  Elder: Can I come back and speak with you at

  A later date?

  Me: Sure, remerber I am DF and I do not beleive

  in the JW teaching.

  Elder: nice to meet you, you know where the

  KH is, Be happy to see you there.

  They won't be back. I've tried talking to JWs and I don't tell them I am a JW. They want you to shut up and listen, because that's what they have to do. Presenting an opinion or knowledge just slows their process. It already takes a year to indoctrinate a potential new member, without resistance. They're not going to rollerskate uphill with you and run the risk of someone tattling on them for talking to "apostates". The Society knows exactly why that rule is in place and that's information control. They'll throw someone out quick who's talking to apostates, because it means he'd be hearing things they don't want him to know and he might spread them to others.

  If you wanted to play cat and mouse with them you could have told them that you had a relative in the JWs who no longer attends the meetings. That way they may come back thinking that you were merely stumbled by your relative.

  Wontleave: the problem here was he was asking the question.

  I could see the MS was becoming uncomfortable with the

  question the elder was asking. It was strange.

  Terra: I was up front. I was Df, I did not believe in the

  JW teaching and I an Not interest in coming back. Most

  JW turn and run when they found out you was DF. And

  to make the statement, I do not believe in your teaching.

  I really beleive he will come back.

  Ya I was affended for you reading that question."how are you mentally".

  "Elder: really, how are you mentally , your health."

  Did the Elder asked that question because a recent Watchtower using the term "mentally diseased"?

  Or is that a standard question they ask people who have left long ago?
