So I drive to the KH @ 10:30 to pick up the kids (I allow them to attend the Pubic Talk, but not be poisoned by the KoolAid WT study). As I'm in the parking lot, I see ElderX, with whom I've had spirited WT debates heading to his car - he doesn't speak as he now knows I fully oppose the WT. Well from the car his wife sees me, and in her excitement gets out to come over to say hello. She greets me with a hug, and says she misses me and naturally invites me to "try, just try" to come back on Sundays. I nicely tell her, "I've honestly tried, but can't do this anymore". She then invites me to at least give her a call sometime to talk...As she returns to the car ElderX finally "waves" reluctanly and they head on thier way.
Do you think she heard it from her Elder husband? Since making it known I'm a full opposer, having my wife remove WT materials from the house & making it a no JW zone(particularly elders with thier sheparding attempts), not one elder has really said more than a half-hearted "Hi". ElderX and I had even found a little common ground before I went full opposer. His wife is nice enough, and though she's dealt with depression from time to time, I'm sure she means well(well meaning seeing me back in the KH as a UBM trying to stand by my wife-like that will ever happen!). Should I call her? We all know that when she brings up the WTS, she'll only hear from me how the Troof is just a trademark.
Your thoughts?
