Hi There

Soledad

it was all that phoney gushing that made me decide to DA. I couldn't stand how people who would otherwise barely acknowledge me while I was in that all of a sudden were all over me and prying while I was inactive.

I wrote my letter and made it clear to them once and for all that I was through, and to not bother me again.

Look at the eyes. Ever notice how there is no pleasure in them when people like this smile? The eyes are cold and dead.

Dear Nelly1: I have noticed that the Elders wives are big gossips. That often is the reason they embrace a person when there is 'trouble'. They want the dirt! The poor victim thinks these people realy care when in fact they just what the inside scoop on what is going on. My motto, "Never tell them nothing"!!! Maverick

Ah, yes, the fluttering elders' wives.

Not long after I'd become inactive, I had to attend my Witness sister-in-law's wedding. An elder's wife cornered me and, her fat smiling face hovering in the air before me like some a geriatric Cheshire cat, inquired about my spirituality and discovered that, as rumored, I had not been to a Kingdom Hall in months. She then commenced "upbuilding" me with a little speech about the importance of attending all of the meetings, all five of them, for their wonderful "timely reminders."

After a few awkward moments of this, I said, "You know, maybe I'd go to some meetings, if they all weren't so boring!"

She flinched, as if slapped, and murmured, "No, oh no, we shouldn't say that, no, should never say that ..." and receded into the crowd.

Anyway, that's my little elder's wife story.

ROTFLMAO!! The cognitive dissonance must have been unbearable for her!

Fortunately I haven't had too many run-ins with JW's since I've left. If I do, and they start gushing about "coming back to Jerhover", I think my strategy is going to be to change the subject. "How do you like this weather?" Or, "A horse walks into a bar..."

I am always suspicious of anyone who had never had the time of day for me who suddenly starts "gushing" over me. I know they are fishing for information. When I was an elder's wife, I gushed over no one and did not gossip about other's personal business. But I know what type you mean. They are usually bored to tears and have no status (what women does) but want status. The elders always said they learned more about what was going on in the congregation from the sisters than in any other way.

DantheMan, changing the subject is the best way. You may have to do it several times before they get the drift. I also have some place to go or someone to meet, "I can't talk any longer, I have a friend to meet," then walk away.
