    Imagine if the elders did like the example of the prodigal son in the bible and would open their arms and hearts to us.......awww can you feel the love.

    Can they do that???

    I'm not sure if they can, but I think they would try. I threatened legal action if they harassed me or trespassed on my property, so I suspect they would do the same if I showed up.

    I did just that. It was Memorial time... The elders stood in the aisle looking at me when the embles went around--- I did not take...---No one sat next to me either side I was NOT at the back either. I was told after I was FORTUNATE they even passed me the plate they should not have..

    I just wanted to see how the LOVE worked

    Shame - that would certainly have given them something to think about. LOL!!

    Well, if the Hall was full of the same people that were there 25 years ago when I was DF's in a blaze of apostate glory, then I would imagine the buzz of conversations to gradually lower in volume as furtive looks came my way. Then the room temp would drop several degrees. Wow, I could help them save $ on A/C!

    I would expect a lot of stares and whispering. And I know an elder, no 2 elders, because we don't want an appearance of impropriety with a former "sister" would approach me to see how I've been and what they can do to "help" me.

    I won't copy/paste all of those ha, ha's Ian. That must've been quite a finger exercise!! Good to see you're feeling good!!

    Juni JH, hi! Since it's your thread I'll go off topic a bit. How is your sunburn? You looked really burnt in the pics of the Apostafest. Juni (that's a sunburned face)

    "Good to see you here" "The friends all miss you" "Jehovah wants you back" I could just here all their lame comments. I am sure the ones who shun me in public would talk to me at the KH. They think as long as I am J's house their rules allow them to greet me. I still cannot believe how I was so blind while a J-dub. How I could not see the the whole religion is set around unscriptural rules. They say they are governed by love but they are truly governed by RULES.

    I think they would be initially horrified, followed by sheer glee they have someone to stare at for two hours and whisper about. I ask, again, why do dubs stare at DF'ers. Do we have something in our noses???
