A friend from the other end of the Country just 'phoned and told me that a couple of days ago two Elders knocked on his door. He has been out for four or more years.
They told him it was C.O's visit, and the Governing Body have asked them to call on those whom they no longer see at the K.Hall.
I guess this is an easier "field" than knocking on doors that never open, or where they are told "not interested".
My friend Bill though, was not such an easy call. Apparently he managed to get in about 1914 being rubbish, the Bible not being the word of god, because we cannot trust it, 1919 being rubbish as to the choosing of the FDS and several other telling points.
I liked particularly that he said to them they were rather hypocritical asking Householders to examine their faith, when JW's were simply not allowed to !
He thinks he may get some flack back from this visit, as it was two Elders, but he really doesn't care, none of his family ,or anyone he counts as friends are "in".
I told him that if they did try to give him grief over his views they shouold prove him wrong, and themselves right, not just organise a J.C for a bloke who really couldn't give a flying fudge bar.
He just laughed and said "You know they can't defend the "truth", and as far as I'm concerned they can do whatever they like."
Good old Billy Boy !
