Your comeback is hilarious! Wish I could have been there. I hope I'm brave enough to do something the next time I come in contact with a Witness. There are Witnesses at my lightrail stop sometimes, and I am getting really tempted to print some info off the internet and have a little discussion with them. I guess I can't wait to see their reaction to being approached by an apostate--maybe that's not nice, I'll ruin their time counting for the morning cause they'll have to leave.

Good story. So they started talking like you weren't there. I sincerely doubt they would have been talking about Armageddon and repentance if you weren't seated beside them. What a bunch of bozos.
I hope they got a good dose of indegestion!

OOO. Kinda like when the good witnesses go see a movie and the bad witnesses go to the same theatre and then see you there and call their elder dads about it.... And Constantine wasn't even that good...

Hahah, that's a funny experience. Reminds of when I was working at a resturaunt as a server when I was disfellowshipped. A group of witnesses that I knew very well were sat in my section. I went and laid their silverware out for them and asked them what they would like, silence ....... waiting ..... waiting ..... they all just looked down at the table. Finally the oldest of the group, a ministerial servant came up with an idea - he would be the spokesman for the group so the others wouldn't have to speak to me. So he started with what he wanted to eat and then would ask what the guy next to him would like, that guy would tell him and he would tell me, so on and so on. It was utter ridiculousness.

Somewhat similiar thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. My company had a booth at a trade show. I went for coffee, when I came back who is talking to my business partner but two bethelites (including my former roomate).
As I approach I heard them promoting rather loudly (aka preaching) their organization, volunteer ministers, worldwide work etc. They were talking about what a loving Organization the JW's are ...
I went up full smiles, hand extended in friendship, "Ron! Mark! How the heck are you guys. This is a great surprise." They both looked mortified. One had started to reach out his hand (automatic reaction) then recoiled as if burned. They looked at each other, both scowling and without another word, walked away. I called after them, "Wow after 15 years of friendship, you shun me for simply not attending your church. Now that's fine Christian love for ya! My business partner knew of my JW history but found it hard to believe. After that, he saw how extreme and hateful the JW's actually can be.
People at the surrounding booths all saw this. Several innoculations to the JW hype were given that day. You did the same thing at the restaurant. I am sure people at other tables picked up on things as did the server. They'll be less likely to listen next time the Dubs come knocking!
