I just knew when the doorbell rang that it had to be the witnesses. But they come here so rarely. The thought ran through my head that they knew about my little trip to the hall last night.
Nope. Well yes it was the witnesses. But they were just doing their thing. The man (who later identified himself as an elder) started his spiel.
well quick debate in my head - "do I or don't I"
Yup the "do I's" win
He says something like "...problems in the world" Perfect cue!!!
"Like pedophiles in the WTS congregations?"
wooheee we're on a roll. and off we go spinning circles around them as they stutter their way through flawed explanations and stupid policies. He started to tell me about the letter they got at the beginning of the year and I let him know I had seen it. And I have the copy of the policy from the web site. He tried to tell me that the WTS didn't have a web site and there was just a lot of people who made their own. I informed the poor deluded man that the WTS indeed DOES have a website and their policy is on it for the world to read.
They like the switch routine but I am a pro at that and when he started talking about how husbands are supposed to love their families I pull out the "abused by husband-elder" card Got them again Ohhh it felt good
Then he switched to rape. Got them again on that one.
He started to talk about DFing and bad associations within the congregation. Got him again - that while shunning is used in the cong the WTS website says they do not shun
I think his wife started getting uncomfortable. She nudged him a few times so say she was cold and wanted to leave. (I really liked that - she was standing there with a fur coat and collor pulled up to her chin and I was standing there in my PJs and a housecoat and she thought SHE was cold)
They said they would come back with the magazine that will be coming out on "Do you apologize" (at least I think that was the title). I let them know it should be coming out soon. They don't have it yet. I had to laugh that we know more than they do.
