If memory serves me correctly, the society has changed their website regarding their shunning policies. Probably due to pressure from honest people, they now say something to the effect that they do shun people who are disfellowshipped, except in the case of relatives living in the same house. No mention is made of people who just "walk away."
Mulan:
I really feel for you. I've never had an "elders visit" since I walked away last year. I honestly do not think I would be able to contain my indignation.
I am glad that you survived the interrogation. I think that they will be back though. You still didn't answer the BIG question... Nice or not.....they have an agenda to meet that the society has put in front of them, and will not give up their hounding I think. Nice.....these nice guys are about to drag your name through the mud....this is one screwed up and scary organization.
Thanks Mulan for this valuable insight into the machinations of the process. I sincerely hope that dubs and lurkers read this. It just might make them think.....well, it might!
It's worth reperating that the "order of events" was 'by the book' culminating in the sly question "Do you consider yourselves to be JWs?" This is a trap of the highest order. (Sorry that's a mixed metaphor!) But you know what I mean, eh?
In the meantime, be sure of our continued interest and warm regards, and say G'day to Dave for us.
Let me tell you my case. After two elders finished their bla bla. I gave them 4-pages document all quoted directly from Watchtower CD Library (I wellknown my D-Day will come so I prepared it in advance) about all flip-flop truths and did mentioned them that all the printed material in those 4 pages purely from Wacthtower magazines, nothing else. When they left about 15 minutes, I found my 4-pages document in the rubish-bin outside the apartment. They scare to read their own rubbish !!!!! HeHeHe !!!!

How typical. What are they afraid of? Dave and I are no threat to anyone. We don't talk about what we know with anyone but others like us. Never mind. I know the answer.
