Two new experiences.....

Momma-Tossed-Me

All of you share your experiences about encountering JW's and I enjoy them so much....Here are two that just happened over the weekend for your enjoyment.

So as you all may know last December I was officially labeled by the Borg. So now all Jdubs must shun me who have known me since birth and thereafter.

I had a booth at a local festival this Saturday and a JW was the chairman of this years deal. So he is also a photog and he was going to each booth and taking a picture of it.

He did the one right beside me and then did a wide half circle to get to the next booth on the other side so as not to get to close to the new town Apostate. I laughed as he did it and pointed it out to the person working with me in the booth.

So on Sunday I was with some customers and we decided to get a bite to eat and low and behold a witness couple walk in and they see me and I could see them considering whether or not to stay. They do and they sit at the next booth in front of us. They sat so close which suprised me.

As I sat and ate with my party I considered my next course of action. Should I say something? Should I just wave and act happy?

No I decided to pay for their lunch. So I when I went up to pay for the bill I paid for theirs as well. I don't know what it accomplished if anything, but I would like to think that it made them uncomfy.

So later that day when my wife got home from a congo picnic, she told me that they said to tell me thank you for buying their lunch. That is better than what I really thought they would do which was send the money back and say please don't contact us or do something like this again.

Anyhow, I think I will pay for Witness meals more often now just to make recognize that we are still alive and kickin outside the ole watchtower.

finally awake

Just Ron and I went to the grocery store today. We saw a local dub and she actually stopped and talked to us briefly. She goes to a foreign language congregation in a town 40 miles away, so she may not know that we haven't attended a meeting in over 3 months. Her husband, also an active dub in the foreign language congo, stopped by the house yesterday and asked Just Ron to help him load some of the wood from the neighbor's tree that he was taking away. Of course Just ROn went out and helped, but it sure is puzzling that they don't seem to have gotten the memo that we are not active dubs anymore.

Romans 12:20

Instead, "If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this,

you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads."

No I decided to pay for their lunch. So I when I went up to pay for the bill I paid for theirs as well. I don't know what it accomplished if anything, but I would like to think that it made them uncomfy.

LOL, that's unreal - I've never heard of someone paying for a JW's meal before. Good one!

Maybe next time pay for the meal, and leave a short message / note. e.g. "DONT Google: 1914 false prophesy". It will eat away at them till they do it.

Thats was great! Hmmm....I think i'll try that whenever I get labelled an "apostate". It may or may not accomplish something.

Wow MTM, that was really nice of you. Hopefully it will make them think.

This is not uncommon. It all depends on where you live. In some areas.....inactive ones are treated as though they are practically disfellowshipped. In other areas....such as where I live....inactive ones are looked upon with pity by all. We are viewed as lost sheep and the congregation does its best to still reach out to such ones and include them in activities.

Strange though.....that with the formal reading of a name from a stage.....suddenly that inactive one is now treated as though he is the Devil himself.
