i got to say "i'm not interested"

by joyfulfader in

2 sisters came to the door and since i dont live in the territory they dont know me and i got to say "i'm not interested" for the first time :).

it felt awesome.

didnt have a chance to engage in conversation as i was quite busy but it was a nice first for me..

and i do realize they are not my sisters. i used the designation to indicate their gender only.

tater- didnt mean to make it sound like yet another guilt trip. we have all been on way too many. i am glad u r better now :)

tater- i totally agree that force feeding that stuff is wrong. the guilt and fear is instilled from the beginning and is horrible. the violent images imposed on young ones in the name of the "truth" is sickening.

while many of you may disagree, the TMS and field service made me a really good public speaker and that has helped my career. i dont think i would have shut the door on the child. i would have listened to him read it and then tried to engage the father in a discussion about blood and his precious child's life. i would have been kind and tactful out of concern for the child. the child is not at fault for the choices of his parents and i think such a harsh reaction could backfire and the child remember being "persecuted" by an evil, wicked worldly person.

jookbeard- i would have loved to engage them in conversation but the timing was not good. my first question to the next one will be about the "loving" shunning policy.

SandraC- i havent set foot in a kh for over a year so def not active.

i actually felt a pang of sadness for them because they dont have a clue. the sister looked crushed that i wasnt interested.

A Message to Active Elders Lurking on JWN

there are really only a couple of reasons an active elder would be lurking here on jwn.. .

[if !supportlists]i. your ever growing doubts about the organization have led you here, or.

[if !supportlists]ii.

Thanks for the tip Phizzy but fortunately I could not care less if I was confronted. Anyone who would try is a true coward and hypocrite. But I know there r ones who do need to be careful for one reason or another. For those, better safe than sorry.

out of curiosity, how can one be outed by this forum? unless one confesses i would think it is all circumstantial and one could simply deny posting. dont they need actual witnesses?? those that tattle would then open themselves up to scrutiny for being here as well. doesnt make sense to me. i am all about theocratic warfare in reverse.
