I have a neighbor who moved in 3 years ago. She a single mom, lived there a couple of months before I ever saw her. But one day when she was out in the yard, I walked over to welcome her to the neighborhood. At first I didn't recognize her. She said with a big grin on her face "I know you, you are Brother xxxxxxx." We had gone to the same KH and she was df'd about 15 years ago. I explained to her that I don't go to meetings anymore myself.
Anyhow, a nice conversation brewed. I see her from time to time and always have a nice chat. Last October she told me that she wanted to go back to the KH. I asked...WHY? and let her talk. Then wished her good luck if that's what she thought she really wanted. I left for Florida for 3 months and came back after Xmas. I just saw her for the first time this past week and she updated me on her KH story. She QUIT because of the lack of interest on the part of the PO (the same a..h... I butted heads with) and the other elders about her getting reinstated.
Ok....I need to get back to the Topic. Sorry! She told me she heard that a new book was coming out and that changes were being made the way the preaching work "could" be done. That if you didn't want to go door to door anymore, you didn't have too! I find this a little hard to believe. She said that they were coming up with alternative work.
Now......I just wonder if she has put things out of perspective, since there has been alternative work like bothering people with telephone calls and letter writing or if a REAL change is coming.
I guess we will know shortly.
