Bible deflection shield

On the University Ave bus, along Midway St Paul, the usual over-full passenger load for that route, a couple people standing in the aisle by the back door, I approached the one open aisle-seat back a few from the front. As my eyes did their rapid scan of seat cleanliness and sittability regarding the person in the window-seat, a 30-ish, serious looking woman held a Bible at half arms-length in both hands, front cover pointing at me, and like an energy shield deflected me back to stand with the others in the aisle by the back door.

    Wow! Any psychologist would have to ask: What does that say about you? Perhaps you have been approached by too many people at the bus shelters who want to share their Watchtower magazines with you, or who want to know if you’ve been “saved,” and you’re just “anti” wanting to have any more experiences of that sort. On the other side, I could see where you or anyone would have gotten from the posturing that she meant “back off!”
