PREVIEW:
Smiler is not his real name, he says. Deets is. But, since it’s a weird kind of German name he just goes by his nickname. Probably because he has such an honest and handsome smile!
Short for Deitrich. His family is German. His Grandfather was a Brownshirt - whatever that means.
Anyway, Smiler asked Jimbo two weeks ago-I guess it was--about something he read. Smiler went to a used book store and bought a bunch of copies of older publications that the Watchtower Society published a long time ago. He's really really interested, I guess.
So, he got ahold of The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life. A little blue book.
He asked Jimbo what happened in 1975.
Jimbo turned to me. He said to tell Smiler that Witnesses have adjusted their views and are more patient about Armageddon now.
Then, he looked me in the eye and whispered for me to be very cautious!
He told me he'd go with me on my next study to personally answer Smiler's questions. Then he walked out of the room with a weird facial expression.
I was disappointed but I guess if he handles it better than I could it’s all for the best.
I can still count the time!
Brother Lipscomb and I will be over at the place Smiler is staying at 7 p.m. this evening. I'm excited to see him again! I'm really praying that he becomes one of us. I think he'd make a wonderful minister.
I don't have time to blog anymore today. I have to get ready for the study. I've got a new dress.
More later.
