    To get a break from my JW parents when I was 17 (I'm 25 now) I took an apartment of my own. I was working full time and going to school. A busy schedule that allowed me to miss meetings without them constantly hounding me. I was on my own though which was the most important thing to me, or so I thought. On Christmas eve I had several of my friends over including one who was DF'ed. As the evening went on most went home and at 2am there was about 4 people over, including the DF'ed person. Then there was a knock on the door two local elders on a sheparding call. Yes at 2am. They had noticed the DF'ed person's car on the road outside my house and thought they'd drop in and question me about it. The DF'ed person was in the washroom at the time so they didn't see him, but interrogated myself and my 2 other friends about it for half an hour. Finally they left! So we waited another half hour and thought they were gone for good and I decided to leave my home with these friends of mine and go to another's house in the DF'ed person's car. We're driving along a lightly snow covered road when the driver says, "Someone is behind us." I turn around to recognize the car as one of the elder's cars, FOLLOWING US! The driver kicks on the gas we accelerate, the snow causes the car to slide, right into a telephone pole. The elders pull up along side us and say, "Care to change you story now?" They cought me, I hope they got what they were looking for! I was only reproved at that time (My first time). My disfellowshipping came months later which is a story in itself as my apartment at the time was illegally entered and searched for evidence against me. I'll tell that one another time!

    Reminds me of the good ole days when Elders did anything to catch someone. Oh wait, apparently they are doing the same thing - Can't teach an old dogs new tricks.

    Remember the pride they had when they d'fd someone - another notch on their eldership belt of authority.

    Welcome aboard - looking forward to more of your expereinces.

    Peace - Larry :)

    I believe every word of it! When i lived 2000-2001 at 480 union st.Bangor maine.The bldg. manager had an office in the basement.

    Not unusual except they were Jdubs and knew i was apostate.I didn't know for 14 months that they were JW cult members AND illegally tapping my phone line!

    I don't have even one speeding ticket in 32 years of driving and i am squeaky clean no criminal record.So they didn't get anything except chit chat.

    When i found out and confronted the f**kers they of course reviled my allegations as proof i am a paranoid mental case.

    I have "gotten even" since...............

    Danny sez:"people usually imitate the god that they worship don't they"? Devil 4

    Geez, since Tim Hortons started being a 24/7 operation, the elders can do shepherding calls whenever they want!! Even at 2am!!

    Buddy, you were the subject of a Theocratic stake-out!! They must've thought you were a real threat to the congregation, since you were skipping meetings, no longer associating with them, and going to school and working full time!

    What a bunch of losers. Sounds like some jerks we used to know in the Maritimes.

    Love, Scully

    Have to share my son's story. He's 21 now and has been disfellowshipped about 4 months now. But the Elders have been after him for about 3 years. I left his father, and my son left the JW's at the same time with me. Well he was 18 living at home and moved in with a girl friend in a share apartment in another city. His Dad was telling the Elders everything our son was doing, etc. But he was out of their territory so they just waited. Well the girlfriend upped and left him, so my son moved back into his Dad's house. In the mean time he gets another girlfriend. Dad is not happy this girl is at his house sleeping over when he has told his son no girls overnight. Well the elders come and talk to him, but our son just keeps them at arms length and lies to them. Well eventually he moves out of his Dads house and now has the new girlfriend living with him. Well by then his Dad is really wanting the Elders to go after him. So the Elders show up early one Saturday morning, and the girlfriend greets the Elders wrapped in a towel fresh out of the shower. She walks all over the apartment like this as she goes to get my son up. Well the Elders ask him what about this situation, and my son said I don't give a f*** what you do, just leave me the H*** alone. So afte about 2 more months they disfellowshipped him. But the Elders have done nothing but harrass my oldest son and now the youngest son since I left their Dad. They have not offered any help or encouragement at all, only "Why don't you disassociate yourself?" comments. I am so thankful I was disfellowshipped straight away and haven't had to deal with the nonsense.

    It is weird how they will come play spy game just to catch someone doing something illegal by the WTS standards isn't it? Funny when I think about it.

    Boy what you experienced is funny, then chasing you in the dis'fed guys car. Very funny.
