After work tonight we swung by Costco to stock up on some items. It was filled with JWs!

I didn't realize it at first. In fact, I only became aware of it as we were leaving the crowded parking lot. As two lanes of traffic merged into one the drivers alternated lanes! First a car from one lane went into the egress lane; and then a car from the other lane went. Then a car went from the first lane again and so on.

That's when it hit me that all of those drivers were JWs! They learned that alternating lanes bit from hours of practice at assemblies over the years. I remember talks from the stage emphasizing that only JWs were loving enough to take turns in merging traffic. Worldly people can't do this because they have no love for one another. Only JWs have the agape love required to be able to manage this tricky traffic manuever.

And then my husband pulled up, and let the car in the other lane preceed him! Now I am really worried that he may be having a free home Bible study while I am at work.

Once more I am sitting at home alone with three pets laughing out loud like a maniac at one of your wicked insights.

(I'm laughing, not the pets. They think I'm crazy. and I think they are a little scared.)

But the merging traffic only worked at assemblies! My dad, who was not a JW but would at times attend conventions with us, used to say as a car passed us going well over the speed limit that it must be an elder. I remember one car passed us and he had to be doing close to 100 miles an hour and my dad said, as if impressed, THAT MUST BE THE DISTRICT OVERSEER! I rarely saw good traffic manners by witnesses other than that. Even at the kingdom halls as everyone was trying to flee the scene, I remember sitting and waiting as car after car would pull out and never let anyone cut in.

The transformation is amazing.

Amen, Franklin!

Swan, do you live in San Diego?

The stadium is right next to a costco here too!
