Thanks for the good start. You know, most of my family and extended family are still JW’s. Once or twice a year whats left of the family (the ones that are not DF’ed) get together for a meal. For the most part, I’m left alone to read the book I brought, but once in awhile I just can’t help but put a jab or two in. (The sad thing though is that even though two of my inlaws are Elders, my jabs seem to go by without notice.) Over the years, a few of them have been…“At least we all stayed alive 'till 75.” …“What is the thinking on the men of Sodom THIS year?” … “You’re not going to eat that piece of FATTY steak are you?” … “I hear the UN has a GREAT library.” … “Please don’t question my beliefs, and I won’t pick out the flaws in yours.” BTW, I almost stepped on it with this last one. My Elder Brother-In-Law comes up to me and says…“are you saying that the things you have been taught from infancy have flaws?” I just smiled and kept my mouth shut. After all, at the time I had no desire to be DF’ed, and answering with a yes would have been all he needed to pull me into a Judicial Commitee…to disfellowship me.
