Oh dear. I see I haven't given you enough info.

My customer owns a local car-hire business. He asked me to renew his fascias and guttering on his premises. When I turned up, I recognised that the secretary was someone whom I had known in my teenage years whilst a JW. Matter of fact she had a bit of a sweet spot for Yours Truly and would toss her head and wiggle her bum a lot back then, you know, the girly stuff that girly's used do sometimes.

Anyway, she recognised me too and was polite and friendly asking me about my family etc. It was during this time that she said that she couldn't make me any refreshments, so I just laughed and produced my Thermos.

Afterwards, I had a conversation with her boss and we had quite a laugh over the whole thing.

Englishman, I have not heard this analogy before, but it does make a lot of sense.

Maybe sitting down to eat together was a major way of disseminating information and in an effort to keep from having "Apostate" ideas infiltrate the early xtians, this kind of a rule was imposed?

Aren't JW's the most brightest stars on the planet? Who would want to eat with someone like that?

I find that strange. She can TALK to you, the Evil Disfellowshipped Apostate, but can't serve you tea. Aren't both of those actions in disobedience to the Almight WTS??? I just don't understand their reasoning capabilities...or lack there of.

Ugh. I hear stories like this and just want to puke...on them.

Dear Englishman,

I think I might have been tempted to say to her, 'well that's ok, I didn't invite you to JOIN me for tea, just to make ME a cuppa.' So make the friggin tea b!tch!

oh and incidentally-- when Ray actually did have lunch with a DAd BUSINESS ASSOCIATE(I can't remember if he was his landlord or his employer at the time), the Borg rule was not that it was wrong to do. They actually changed the rule after that and pro-rated it just for him.

Billygoat,

My Mum is the equivalent of JW Royalty amongst UK dubs and regarded as such a strong JW, she's got a place reserved for her in a Jah - Jireh witness retirement home.

Yet she still comes to say with us, comes up the pub and eats meals out with us.

She says it's OK because I'm not an apostate.

She's never used the net BTW.

Therfore Englishman.

She was hoping that maybe you could share your finger lickin bowl with her and what did you say about using a communal bowl,you missed your chance as you said some years ago,maybee you should have just put her over the office desk and sorted her gutters out ,seeeeeeeing as she waggled her bottom at you,

Seriouse point though how do thos disfellowshipped ones partake of food at the kingdom halls,those sitting in the back row the ones no one talks to,

Should the rest of the congregation be disfellowshipped as they are all sitting and recieving food at the same time as the disfellowshipped person.

( SITTING IN THE SAME PROXIMITY )

I'm glad your mum still stays in such a good relationship with you. But I was talking about the twit of a receptionist of your client/friend. She can talk to you, but can't serve you tea?
