this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early, before the intensity of the texas sun boiled to full blaze rendering me a soggy, wrung out mess.. i took up my perch on the outdoor patio in the shade, eager to work on my book of short stories.
this will be my 3rd book and i’ve been enjoying the process daily.. .
It was well written, don't get me wrong. It was just was past my attention span which was that of a gnat yesterday, lol. Keep 'em coming.

A good writer will not commit the unforgivable sin: Boring the reader!
It could use severe editing--I just didn't do my job properly.

Oppostate: What I find interesting is that you were very upfront with her--you didn't try to mislead her into some sort of 'poztate trap. You told her exactly what your experience had been and your estimation of the WT religion being a "cult".

I was just thinking about that Asian lady and wondering what ripples I made in her pond and if the experience was more that of triggered panic/fear or of curiosity and investigation. There is no way to know.
We plant seeds. However, we aren't around to see what develops. It could be years before doubt, anxiety, and dissonance reach critical mass.
Maddening. It is simply maddening.

Sorry!
I started out to write just a paragraph on my encounter just so's I wouldn't loose any fresh details which fade pretty fast at my age. Then, being a writer, I had the nagging awareness of the need for a set-up exposition.
The next thing I knew, I was looking at the whole thing objectively (as a reader) rather than subjectively. It was at that juncture I decided to turn it into a short story for non-JW's to include in my book of short stories. That is why it reads the way it does and why it may appear unnecessarily long.

Wow how fascinating it must ve been to speak to that lady. Did you get her number? She must have many many more stories to tell.

No. I'm not comfortable asking strange ladies for their phone number. I told her I'm always at one of the Starbucks, however, in case she wants to pay a return visit. Naturally, today I can think of a million questions which eluded me yesterday!

Did the woman you spoke with mention if anyone other then herself woke up after listening to her grandmother?

I don't think there is any way to know that. Such awakenings are a process rather than a sudden explosion; at least in my experience. A little here and a little there adds up.

Loyalty to the organization only means the GB in actuality.
i want to coin a term. They are getting "Cultier and Cultier."

This is one remarkable story. Wow. Just amazing.

I suppose it is easier to think about Great Crowd ex-Dubs than anointed ex-Dubs because there is a mythos
about the remnant. At least, there was when I was active.
The anointed remnant were kinda spooky.
