One of my best friends lives in the same building as this single woman in the congregation I used to attend. We'll call her "Pam." This woman's father is an elder (he was on the committee that df'd me) and he lives in the building next to them. Anyway, my friend and another neighbor in the building "Angelica" thinks that Pam is fond of other women because she undresses them with her eyes. Angelica ran into Pam's father (the elder..PO actually) and they were chatting briefly about Angelica's upcoming trip to France. Pam knocked on Angelica's door with her hands behind her back. She proceeded to tell Angelica (to whom she has only said a brief hello in passing) that she heard she was going away to France and she wished her a safe trip. Angelica was a little freaked out because (1) Pam had never knocked on her door before; and (2) she had no idea what Pam had behind her back.

Finally, Pam pulled her hands from behind her back. She had a huge stack of Watchtowers (and probably Awakes) bound with a rubber band. She told Angelica that since she had such a long trip ahead, she thought she would like some reading material and she also suggested that Angelica distribute these mags to others on the plane! The audacity! The gumption!

Angelica's boyfriend was so upset by that gesture, that he divided the stack of mags up and put one stack in front of Pam's apartment door and the other stack in front of the garbage can in plain sight for Pam to see.

Funny? Pathetic? Disturbing? Or Classic?

LMAO!!!!!

The only problem was these people were only trying to be nice to Angelica, maybe her boyfriend should of had a nicer approach, but still it was pretty funny! it sure would of got the message accross.

Funny? Sure.

Pathetic? Yes. I guess Pam tried to boost her FS report that month.

Disturbing? Yes. The behavior of Angelica's boyfriend is. He lacks sense of humour and should keep in mind that Pam is a victim of a sick cult. Not evil.

Hmmm, if Angelica didn't want them, she could have just said so? but yer, I can in the moment it would have been difficult to have said what she might have thought. It is very imposing though, understandable that her bf was a tad offended. This stuff happens all the time, I'm sure. frog

Poor Pam is definately a little wack in the head from all the wt indoctrination she has suffered over the years and if she is a closet lesbo we can only imagine what the poor girl is going through. On the other had she may be quite clever. She may have just taken care of her magazine placements for the next month. Some witnesses get pretty crafty at ways to get rid of magazines and count time.

I quit!

Did I miss the ed in wacked.....sorry

That was probably 'Pam's' way of giving a witness to her neighbor, if she had never done so before. I can remember feeling extremely guilty for not witnessing to 'everyone I came in contact with' . She probably hoped she would read them herself (on the plane).

I think it's sad that some of us cannot say what we feel when we're confronted with something that makes us uncomfortable. She could have just refused. No can stand by itself. It leaves it to the other person to think of what to say next .

I agree it is definitely rude to give people unwanted religious literature. I agree the rank and file member recognizes how rude this is. They've been given permission by Thee Almighty to ignore social etiquette, after all, as long as it's in service of the WTS (gag). The boyfriend has no method of comprehending this bizarre behavior, recognizes it as highly rude, and responded. I don't blame him, but yes, he could have been more polite.

If this woman is in denial about her lesbianism (is that a word?) and is also hitting on a woman who she obviously knows is hetero (has a boyfriend), then this poor jw has a lot of issues!

Moral of the story:

Beware of Pams bearing gifts!
