I had an elder from the local cong call on me a few years back and tell me he had met a dear friend of mine while on holiday in Essex. While I was puzzling who this was he gave me an address of a couple my husband knew when he grew up in London. I did drop her a line out of curiosity but I was quite straight with her saying I was surprised she wanted to get in touch as we left about twenty- five years previously and they promptly shunned us at the time.
She sent me this gushy letter about how it must be Jehovah guiding the elder to visit her KH on holiday as he lived near us and knew of us otherwise how could she have ever found us again! It must be Jehovah guiding it. Of course he knew of us, the whole damned circuit knew about the elder and his wife who'd pioneered for years and suddenly da'ed, we were infamous among JWs, we were a do not call. After several letters it turns out she knew where we lived anyway because her mum knew my husband's aunt. So she could have got in touch any time, without 'divine' help. Just bullshit because when she heard I was now a widow she probably thought it would be a good time to swoop in thinking I was vulnerable...... Er I mean in need of help.
