    Well, this is weird.

    I got an email today from a dub. There was no message. It was 53 seconds of music. The tune was familiar. Before the 53 seconds were up, I recognized it as a Kingdom Hall song. It was all instrumental, no words, and I cannot remember the title. But I know the melody.

    There was no spoken message whatsoever. The source was "an unidentified caller."

    Some months ago our firm got a new Internet-connected phone system and people can call and leave a message and it goes not only to your phone but to your email. When you click on it, an audio file opens and plays the message.

    After I processed this for a few minutes, I realized a dub had called my number and left this "message." I suppose it's some twisted version of a shepherding call, without the risk of a verbal confrontation.

    Has anyone else experienced this sort of hit-and-run visit?

    I've never heard of that before, but it sounds apropos for one with an elder's courage. What I really want to say, though, is I LOVE this post's title.

    I gave one of those drive-by apostate messages to a former elder last week! I used Skypeout to call him and left a message on their voicemail at home. I rubbed it in: I was right all along about the 1914 generation and the anointed remnant generation.- I hope he appreciated it- and I told him my name, too.

    Well no wonder you're no longer in "the truth," you apparently have testacles.
