    I have to share an experience, and I'm sure it won't be mentioned at the KH on Thursday night!!

    This morning while eating breakfast with my parents and my six year old nephew at a local fast food restaurant, some JWs came in for their morning break. My folks and I are all inactive, so I leaned over and said, "I hope they didn't see us." They did. I guess as a way to keep their time going during break, they came over to the table to say hello and encourage us to come back to the meetings ("We sure do miss you.") One older brother that always gave me the creeps as a kid, reached into his bookbag and pulled out the Great Teacher book and handed it to my nephew. (I guess he was thinking easy placement or something.) My nephew takes the book, looks at it, looks at my parents, looks at me and then hands it back to the brother. "No thanks. I don't like this." He then asks if he can go play in the playground area. I took him there as fast as I could. Hoping I wouldn't burst out laughing before I was out of earshot! What a great day today was!!!!!!

    Good story, Thanks for posting it.

    One way I read a room of Witnesses is to watch the children. I know how the parents speak of me by watching how the children relate to me. The children have not learned how to be good at being dishonest. If the children look at me like they look at a scary picture, it tells me how the parents talk about me behind my back. It helps to pay attention how children of friends relate to me.
