    Hi Lola. You can include how intimidated as well as embaressed you were that they would come looking for you on your job, causing a potential for creating a scene.

    "Bringin' 'da Drama to the place where you make your living"

    Not having the common courtesy or common sense to realise that what they were doing at your place of employment was totally inappropriate. Total and absolute violation of your boundaries as well as your personal airspace. They could have very well gotten you fired if your boss wasn't so understanding. They must be stopped, Lola, at all cost, by whatever means necessary.

    Bring out that they made a bad witness to your employer who has been interested in the 'truth' and now wants nothing to do with it because of their despicable behaviour. Tell them that they brought reproach on the name of Jebovah.

    creepy bastards!
    would they do that to their own wives and daughters. Apparently, they did the paper "Watchtower bon-ton 101".

    some points you might say in your email...

    it wasnt appropriate to visit you at the work place.

    they risked your job. if you get fired you may have recourse to sue them.

    regardless of your own attitude and opinion, at the workplace its your boss's area and

    you made every attempt to tell them it wasnt a good time and they stayed anyway, requiring the bosses attention in the matter.

    you felt cornered and harrassed.

    jerks.

    Wow that sounds like hell on earth (excuse my french) but Iam glad your boss was there for you. If that happened to me I think I would have broken down crying. You did a good job of holding it together despite the circumstances. Go you! And keep holding in there.

    Oh my GOSH!!!

    Lola, you poor dear!! I just cannot believe it!! I am fuming for you!! Can't they take a hint?? I wonder if they were trying get you mad, to bait you into saying something they could hang you on later! A simular thing happened recently to my best friends husband! The ELder was there 3 HOURS!!! Thank goodness my friends husband owned the business. But when he first dropped in on him he told him it wasn't a good time! He could care less. Then the next week or so ANOTHER Elder dropped in unexpected! This time my friends husband wasn't there. He told the receptionist it was a "goodwill call"! Yeah right!!

    Anyway, they love the element of suprise. It makes them feel like they have the upper hand! Hang in there Lola!

    Sincerely,

    Lady Liberty

    Sorry to hear what happened, I know it can be stressful.

    If your boss is nice enough, you should give him the number and address to that kh and have him contact them and tell them that if they come back, he will call the police and have them removed for trespassing.

    They can get pretty aggressive. When my hubby and I left, we were not sure if we wanted to send in a letter and DA or just fade at first. But the elders kept coming back and calling like every other day. I told them I was depressed and needed time to think things out and to please not come back. I kept all the lights off in the front of my home hoping they would not walk down the long, dark driveway (it was winter), but NO, even after all this, they came up to the door and kept knocking UNTIL I opened it. I lashed out and told them I felt they were intruding on my privacy and not to come back again. My hubby felt bad though and told them it was nothing personal but I was meaner. I told them I may commit suicide if they came back again because they were stressing me out. Of course, I was just pulling their chain but they stopped coming and that gave me time to write my DA letter. In it I told them to absolutely under no circumstances to come near my home or I would press harrasment charges.

    What about having your boss write a letter on business stationery if need be and send it to the presiding overseer explaining that he should help some of his preachers to learn the difference between house to house witnessing and workplace intrusion.

    Then maybe a sign on the door that states no trespassing in the name of religion. I did not say that very well but you know what I mean.

    I really think that if a businessman writes it might pull some more weight.

    Maybe they want you to lose your job so you can return to the flock and pioneer!

    That would not surprise me, not one bit. I do need to get my boss to put something on the door the CO is gonna be here soon and I don't want them to come back to my job, I think they might mostly b/c they know that I am almost never at home and this is the only place they are sure to find me in.
