B, The guy won't be back. They can dish it out, but their faith cannot stand up under close scrutiny, and it is scarier to face adversity than to run to the Kingdom Hall and be further indoctrinated.
The guy may or may not have read it. If there was an elder or a person with a stronger personality than his on the block that day, they likely took it away from him and tossed it in the trash in front of other JWs to show their distain for Apostate "trash."
In fact, if anyone read it or even began to read it, you may be on the list of homes not to visit now.
Believe me, it is a relief to know that you are considered an apostate. Remember "The Scarlett Letter"? By Hawthorne wasn't it? She had to wear a scarlet A on her dress to indicate she'd committed adultry, then she was shunned by her townspeople. Her life was lonely and miserable.
Well, my dear, there is likely an invisible Scarlet "A" for "apostate" on your front lawn!
If you want to give them more of those 70 page papers, you'll likely have to go outside and flag them down! LOL It is likely they won't be coming to you, if that person showed your paper to anyone.
If there are any lurking JWs here, they are probably feeling shame and guilt for being here reading what we apostates are writing. But they can't tear their eyes away, they have to keep reading. Somewhere inside are doubts and knowledge that the WTS is wrong. But they are scared spitless. My heart truly goes out to them, and I wish I could give them a hug and tell them to follow their consciences and things will be okay.
