  Elderly JW refused to open her Bible...

  by AuldSoul in

  2. friends

  okay, some of you might have read about my conversation with the elderly lady that was doing street witnessing in conyers, ga. this experience happened this morning ... just looked at the clock, yesterday morning .

  i walked out of the local tag office (where we register our vehicles and acquire license plates for the cars) and there sat an elderly lady with current magazines.

  being in somewhat of a hurry, i tried to walk a more direct path to my vehicle ... but she thought i was avioding her.

  AuldSoul: I asked, "May I borrow your Bible for a second?"
  
  Her response is not surprising since you wanted to use HER bible. I remember being told by an elder never to let anyone in the field use my bible. Something about passing along demons, etc. Dubs are pretty protective of their bibles when out in the ministry and see red if a worldly person asks to borrow it.
  
  I remember once I was at a door and the householder came out and asked to "borrow" my Bible. I refused and he grabbed it out of my hands and threw it out into his front yard and then slammed his door. I was really shaken. But then I entered the typical dub martyr/persecution thinking and felt like I was growing a halo over my head. Felt so honoured that satan decided to test little old me that day.

  Wow Agent Smith. You've been through a lot. Welcome to the board. I'm so happy that you and your wife are out and moving on with life, although challenging. I look forward to reading more of your posts in future.

  Saw this recently and thought it interesting:

  We're Here For A Good Time
  
  Trooper
  
  A very good friend of mine
  Told me something the other day
  I'd like to pass it on to you,
  Cause I believe what he said to be true
  
  He said:
  (CHORUS) We're here for a good time
  Not a long time (not a long time)
  So have a good time
  The sun can't shine everyday
  
  And the sun is shinin,
  In this rainy city,
  And the sun is shinin,
  Ooh isn't a pity?
  That every year has it's share of tears,
  Every now and then it's gotta rain
  
  (CHORUS)
  
  And the sun is shinin,
  In this rainy city,
  And the sun is shinin,
  Ooh isn't a pity?
  That every year has it's share of tears,
  Every now and then it's gotta rain

  "There is a Taj Mahal song, just music, no lyrics, that when I hear it I always think "this is what a truly happy life sounds like"."
  
  What's the song? I love instrumentals.
