I was DF`d 27 years ago. My crime? I refused to ignore a number of DF`d friends, so eventually I was also given the "Order of the Welly-Boot". Hence, my presence here now, one totally unrepentent [=:]APOSTATE![=:]Of course, that`s not the picture I present to people who are still JW`s. I have relatives who, though fading somewhat in their convictions, would scurry back to the KH screaming: "Demons, demons!" if they knew how I really feel about the WTBTS.Then there is my occasional drinking buddy who is an elder to boot, now famous on H20 as the "Dub - in - the - Pub", with whom I have frequent "upbuilding" conversations.Your rascally Englishman will strike up encouraging and sympathetic talking points that, on the surface, are innocent, and yet are calculated to work on the imprinted JW`s subconscious mind. Such as:"Did you ever succeed in buying another house after selling your home prior to 1975? No? And you retire next year? Hmmm. Have the society ever introduced a pension plan to ease you into old age? No? Have you thought of cleaning windows part-time? I know its tricky with you only having one leg, but you could always just do bungalows." Or: "Hi, Auntie Lou, I`m sorry that you can`t get a lift to the meetings, don`t worry, I`ll take you in my car and then push you into the KH in your wheel-chair, then I`ll wait outside the KH during the meeting, then I`ll come back inside for you. What? Some of the brothers could be stumbled? Oh. Sorry, I was just trying to help, I didn`t realise that my being DF`d all those years ago would still be a problem, no statute of limitation then, eh?"Now, I realise that there may well be some priggy people who will point their fingers, and say that they knew that us apostates were a devious bunch. And I don`t care! My little bit of mischief is as nothing compared to the misdeeds of the WTBTS, and, anyway, I love puncturing the ego`s of the pompous.Don`t you?
Englishman.
