There's quite a few of them spread out in about 10 Kingdom Halls. There's a Kingdom Hall in my favourite little square in Pessac, just about 2km from our house. Maybe one day we can buy it from them and turn it into a church (you know, put in windows, for a start !)
Anyway it is striking how many folks are welcoming the JWs into their homes to try and help them. The Griffins, Didier, and now we Daveys have a couple coming this morning.
None of us want to do the battle of the verses, clever-clogs Christian thing of "Aha ! So John 17:46 makes it clear that we have to have a Christmas tree !" That always irritated me anyway. We want to love them and talk gently and respectfully with them.
For me loving them meant getting up at 7am on my day off to light the stove so the place can be nice and warm when they come later...
In 2005 Alan, Pat, Gwilym & Catrin Davey moved from North East Wales to Bordeaux. Alan is a pastor and Pat was a nurse. Now we work with UFM worldwide. Read on! (If you'd like to know what took us to Bordeaux, then start with the archives from September 2004)
