boy was it tuff
a nice, sweet mature couple, in their mid 60's, were catholic, from scotland/ireland...been jws for about 12 years so i could still do circles around them..
i was very pleasant with them, as i think they approached me with pleasantness,,,not craziness
about 2 min. into conversation, i was on way to work and did not want to take their time or mine, i said i use to be a jw and no longer was,,did not say df'd
she listened more than him,,,,i could often see her nudge him in the arm when he was going off, lol
long story short, over 20 mins worth of conversation, i took the mags, i asked,,,and he left with writing the letters NGO on his not at home slip, to look up when he got home.....he had never heard anything about it,,i said, no most here probably dont know, and i compared it to not taking my children to the ymca to swim, etc
i said a bit more about it,,,oh and i touched on the pedophile issue but he had no clue:(
she did ask me quietly,,,do you miss it,,,,and i, without thinking,,said yes,,,i told her i missed the family, etc
when i said i had 4 children i was not speaking to, etc, due to it,,(another long story short),,,she looked deep in my eyes and said,,,,that must be hard
i think i threw them off, he was not an elder,,,was very kind to me,,,
the good part,,,,i had a very good nights sleep, just ready for work,,looking hot, lol
they made a comment about it,,well ok, not hot,,but very good lol, hey at my age i can exagerate, i said something that at my age, bout mid 50's blah blah,,they both didnt say anything,,,then she said,,well you certainly dont look that old, oh made my day (didnt say how it might be due to my jw days of moderation )
i said, it is funny the jws think when we are no longer jws that we are out fornicating,,,etc, but we carry on and have good lives
oh well,,,had a very spiritual thinking type of day,,,i need a family
wendy
i said, well that is what the governing body says to do...........
