On my way into work this a.m. one of our local KH's (I am not a JW) off the main road I travel to go to work. It was about 6:00 am, and as I was passing by the KH parking lot, I noticed 3 ladies around one car.
It looked like "the sisters" were armed and ready to go on a door-to-door witnessing patrol. They had their book bags stuffed with magazines. They really looked dated in their dressing and hair styles. The dresses were brightly flowers, down to their ankles, loose flowing and the sleeves of their dresses were raised and puffy. I don't think many people wear puffy sleeved clothing at this time. And their hair styles - the puffy, curly, mushroom looking style. I think they must have been going to breakfast first because homeowners would have been pissed if they had witnesses knocking at the doors too early. Phew, it's pretty warm today, I think the sisters are going to perspire (glisten) a bit today. I also noticed the sisters had shoes with heels - you would think they would wear footware more suitable for walking - my feet would have been killing them.
Seeing them made me chuckle and made me think of the post the Englishman has written yesterday titled "Got Given a Witness Today." I could picture him with these three ladies I just passed by.
I started imaging the sisters coming to my house. I would invite them to sit on my front porch, rest their tired feet, probably offer them either iced tea or lemonade. Then, the fun would begin - I would start to mention the Dateline show I had seen regarding the pedaphile issue, how they treat the members that do not "think" the way they are supposed to, and the way the JW think of us worldy folk. Wonder how long it would have taken them to hightail it
