The JWs came calling..... (page 2)

You go girl

For someone who had to resort to Plan _ make-it-up-as-you-go you did great. Surprising how those little comments can press all the right buttons.

Well done Scully..

What a load of balonie gets shovelled around ones feet that early in the morning.

I was thinking as I read this.. didn't this happen last year around this time that the elders came to your house and met your husband outside. .... So it was.

Hmm. They seem to really like to ask and make loaded questions when they come. Maybe not intentionally though.

If the bottom of this comes out, let us know.

Maybe they saw your Christmas lights last year and disfellowshipped you guys without your input or knowledge. It seems to be what they do here in my part of Nova Scotia.

In our case here, they did send us a registered letter telling us of their actions. You or your husband didn't receive any registered letters after they came and talked to your husband in the driveway last year?

Do you have any family members that you could talk to and get a heads up on whether they announced your husband disassociated himself without them all getting the hair on the back of their neck to stand up?

Thinking about you in all this.. let us know, detective 007 Scully.

sincerely

Wayta GO, Scully!!! You handled the visit just right....sad to say, lately from the posts I've been reading, the Jdubs ARE resorting to spying, trickery and deceit more 'n more in order to DF and DA inactive ppl.

On your handling of the situation, Scully. One message, drilled home. Do you think they got it?

Torn between dropping the big hammer on JW's who are ignorant of what you know now and the fact that these were old friends, real friends at one time. How to deal with it?

I liked the way you handled it. You never judged or put down you friends, You just reacted emotionally to the injustice. I love it.

This is my thought on what has been happening lately.They come to the door to reactivate you and to spy to see if you are up to no good.

If they catch you doing anything......Bang....out the door with you. It would not suprise me a bit if the elder visits that are scheduled in the spring will turn nasty and be an excuse to clean out all the inactives and dropouts that have no desire to come back. Paranoid??? Maybe,but not much would suprise me anymore with how they treat people.

Scully you were awesome!!! Those unplanned visits are the best. You think on your feet real well sista!

It'll be a much better day if we put up our Christmas tree instead.

As for planning your Sunday's activities ... I tend to agree with you on this...

(((Scully))) Well done; I'm sure it wasn't easy.

Scully

Hey everybody! Thanks for the support and words of encouragement! I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me.

This has had me stewing ever since it happened. I'm mad at myself for wimping out. After all, one of these two Sisters™ was also instrumental in spreading lies and rumours about me, back in the day.... It still bothers me that she took advantage of me at an extremely vulnerable moment and I confided to her how badly I felt (I was suicidal at the time), then twisted it to me planning to get a gun and shoot everyone at the KH. (Like, this is freakin Canada, where in the HELL am I going to get a gun in the first place???) I can just imagine what she's going to do with the conversation we had yesterday, although I more or less let them do all the talking, rather than volunteer information to them. It was bad enough that they saw pictures of my kids, so they can watch for them in the school yards etc.

The other thing that I found very unnerving, was the fact that Sister Blabbermouth has changed from being the one that NEVER went out in service and hardly ever went to meetings, into the ultimate zealot that is pioneering and thinks she is qualified to tell everyone what to do in order to be just like her. She actually slammed her husband a few times for his lack of zeal (has to drag his ass to meetings and never did a family study and doesn't go in service). And she had the nerve to question me as to why I was sticking up for my "DA'd" husband. So much for Wifely Subjection™.

This woman interrupted the conversation and changed topics so many times that I lost count. She always turned the conversation back to HER. In retrospect it seemed to me that she wasn't there to see me, but to brag about how much better she is than I am. She seems to have the idea that we can just pick up where we left off eight years ago. She's stuck in the same Kingdom rut, even more braindead than she was before, and I have a life that doesn't compare to where I was back then. The growth I've experienced - intellectually, spiritually, economically, ethically and morally - has been in leaps and bounds. It was like taking a look at my former self and realizing where I would be now had I not chosen to leave the JWs almost a decade ago.

I'll probably spend the next week or so ruminating about this visit and making myself a wreck in the event of another one. Thanks for letting me vent and for being here for me. You're all the best!

Love, Scully

((((Scully))))

you are a brave woman, and I think you handled the situation just fine.

Myself, I probably wouldn't open the door to JWs, no matter who they are. Unless they called first and said they had left the organization.

You are so right, they displayed where you would be had you not left. Losers, losers, losers. So sad.

Keep up the good work, gal. And be very proud of where you are and who you are now.

Hugs,
