LOL! This is great Doodle. I could just picture it. Sounded like the perfect 5 minute assembly demonstration

Theocratic Ministry School Overseer: "Sister Frizzy Hair's setting: informal witnessing to a bible study at the hairdresser's"

HAHAHA Chev! "Sister Frizzy Hair"

A lot my hairdresser's customers are dubs and they gossip about people in the hall terribly. I go there about once a month so maybe I'll make the converstaions I hear a monthly series

I had the last laugh though. As I got out of the elevator on my floor, I said "You can't count your time with me. I've been told that I'm an Apostate!" The shocked look on their faces and the gasps of horror were priceless.

That's the best story I've heard in ages.

Doodle, I just loved your experience. One of my daughters in law is a hair stylist and she said there is a lot in their training about talking to the patrons about religion and politics, etc. They can't be controversial, and the shop they work in might have even stricter rules. Report her!!!!!

Mulan,

Those rules don't apply to black barber and hair stylist shops which is where Doodle got her hair did. There are no taboo subjects. At the barber shop I go to we talk about politics, religion, UFO's, government conspiracies, etc. You should check out the movie Barber Shop.

In this way they emphasize the personal decision that each Witness has made in accepting Bible teachings and also avoid giving the false impression that Witnesses are somehow bound to the dictates of some religious sect.

Yeah, right. First of all, in my 30 years of experience very few JW's have made a "personal decision" about what they believe. They take their cue from the leadership of the organization; if there's a change, they go along. It's true that many don't keep up with "Jehovah's progresssive organization" and continue to spew "old light" but that's because their brains are on overload due to shifting doctrines.

In the second place, the impression that JW's are "somehow bound to the dictates of some religious sect" is hardly a "false impression." It's a precise description of dub life.
