What you related is surely telling, in that Dubs will be willing to also COUNT TIME with individuals they don't know could be VZs or even POMOs. A POMO Dub friend had this happen to him:
A UUPIMI (who was no doubt new to the cong in his neighborhood) continued to leave literature and send letters to my friend's home. Info got back to him from a couple of PIMO friends [whom are making plans to fade sometime soon] that this UUPIMI was informed by a couple of elders that my POMO buddy was inactive and that this Dub should cease from having him as an RV + the Body plans to conduct a visit sometime soon. Unfortunately, due to some other UUPIMI sisters secretly encouraging him to continue, he snuck and kept on doing so. It wasn't until my friend's family members told those elders. He eventually stopped the following week. Those other UUPIMIs were quite upset and remarked: "Well, we can reach even INACTIVE ones in that manner before the elders do--and still count time. INACTIVE ones are the equivalent to WORLDLINGS; they are not doing ANYTHING for Jehovah or the organization!" SMDH! 🤦♀️🤦♂️🙄😤😡
