Great read, I must say.
This was my first year of not attending. And honestly, it was just another day to me. And over a year and half of not attending meetings, didn't stir up any emotion or sense of urgency.They did happen to stop by Saturday morning last weekend to drop off the invitation, and reluctanly accepted the tract and WT. You see, the sister was mentally hadicapped and couldn't find it in me to let her know my real feelings. What a sad sight. Not the 'special' sister, but the one who overshawdowed her, almost as if she was a "handler" of some sort. Using her as a tool to place magazines and invites, I could see through the B.S. Knowing them both briefly from when I attended, I knew dynamic duo was force to be reckoned with during saturday morning field service. Almost as if the "handler" purposely used her, to go door to door and it worked. More placement of wt mags and tracts, which people accepted by feeling sorry for the "special" sister.
I made sure to thank the "special" sister (felt bad, of course. She wouldn't comprehend. Hey, she's got an excuse), and made brief eye contact with her handler who was well aware that I was a little annoyed, and went right back inside, to throw away the waste of trees...
Once a year visit is a visit too much. The no tresspassing sign went up that afternoon...
