Well the other day we dropped daughter back to her mother, after what was a fabulous whole week with me.
Sitting on the verandah of the house is grandpa jw, about 80 and recently widowed. Now, he is my ex father in law and we got on very good back in the day, even helped build his house.
Anyway, i drop daughter off and i am looking at the man, who in the whole 10 mins that he sat there, gave one cursory glance our way as i stood on the footpath opposite the house talking to my kids.
This is a guy who will talk the leg off a chair, a guy who will start a conversation with a total stranger in the street, the man is a talker.
I mention to wife as we departed..."poor bastard, not even 'allowed' to say hello the father of his grandkids''. If i was not D/F i know he would have come over, no doubt whatsoever. I was married to his daughter for 16 years!
Well the wife is pretty disgusted by JWs. She realizes that my ex propbably wouldnt talk to me regardless of religion but this was a new person to her. I don't think she has ever seen somebody pretend i am invisible.
The more people see shunning in action, the more people will dismiss the JWs at the door.
