Because the elders would not give her her own territory, an 81 year old sister has decided to use the phonebook and call anyone she wants to, because an elder's wife suggested it. She is a very confused, illiterate woman. She told my mother, today, that it wasn't that difficult to randomly pick a page and start talking about the kingdom. My mother tried to "encourage" her to not do this but the sister said she talked to 3 people and it beats going from house-to-house.

I watched a horror movie one time where the grim reaper did the same thing, randomly picking names from the telephone book......Guess he couldn't get a territory card either.

Here's the next Supreme Court case. Wouldn't the Watch Tower Inc. love to test the do not call list with an 81 year old grandmother? They could get the whole do not call law tossed out.

The WBTS would then enlist every elderly person to call on the phones and go to jail for Jehovah.

When you have a billion bucks in the bank and own a fleet of lawyers, guess what you do if you don't like something. . . . .

I remember when a gentleman started studying and he was in his 80's. He came upon the information that said one should preach door to door. So, up early one morn, this fine gentleman dressed for success and started on his own block all by his lonesome and went door to door. Of course, he was counseled that he should have a territory card.
This man was 95 in 1996 when he died. Oh what a wonderful man he was.

I knew of a 90 year old brother that would regularly urinate on not-at-homes driveways.
