Hi hockeymullett,
Welcome to the forum! When you see the elder, give him a kick in the a## for me, will ya? What a jerk.
My mother and I were followed more than once. And harrased on the phone. Sometimes we'd come home and there would be over 20 messages on the phone.
I am new to this site, just wanted to add my 2 cents. Do not even get me started on Elder horror stories, too many to count. The last one while still in the JDub Club was my loving Elder brother-in-laws shepherding visit saying "How can you and (hubby) do this to me?" in reference to our decision to leave Jehovah. That summed it all up for me, not a care for my spiritual death but what it looked like for him and his perfect family and the gossip it would likely cause in the Kindom Hall. It's been over 10 years and I haven't looked back. Except to stumble onto this site and remember old wounds.
Welcome HockeyMullet and Rhyannon,
Hockey, it is great to see you and your mother both doing it togther.
When the elders came to shephard me about a year ago I said I could not believe it was fair that Jehovah would kill 6 billion worldly people. The little 30 year old bethel bachelor told me that every worldly person deserved it as they all had hearts just like "German Nazi's". Rather than encourage me that made me want to become just like a German Nazi towards him.
Several months later the same too elders arrived at my door at 10pm in the dark unannounced, and in front of visitors said "We are here to advise you to attend a judicial committee on Saturday on charges of apostasy".
Getting d/f was worth it just so as not to deal with such arrogant fools ever again.

I was called by an elder to arrange a meeting with he and the PO because they wanted to discuss something. He wouldn't tell me what it was. I said no. He asked why? I said, If you wont tell me why you want to meet then I have no reason to believe its important. He said that he'd seen my car in front of my boss's home, (a single worldly woman). I asked if this was a judicial matter. He said no. I said, then NO I wont meet. I also mentioned that I was being paid to install a surround sound system in her living room and her elderly father was present. Then I mentioned how he must have driven by the house speciffically to see if I was there based on a call from someone else. Lastly I mentioned that i live closer to him than he did to the boss' house... so why not visit me once in a while to see how I am instead of waiting till there is some rumor going around started by little minds? No response. Ended up putting he and the other elder in their place. They are ignorant sycophants who can't think for themselves. Gotta look good for the C.O. They could care less about me. Hey, we finally have something in common.
W.Once
The elders have a secret book called "Pay Attention to yourselves and to all of the flock"
On page 21 is says they can if necessary watch people, follow them and spy on them. *even 24hour/overnight*
if i saw an elder doing that i would be MAD AS HELL!
I have seen it all,you control freaks with a mean streak want a piece of me now come and get it -Danny Haszard They f**ed up when they disfellowshipped me cause now i am out of their control

ROFLAMO @ tetra!!! you should have said, ''no, it's been working pretty good so far.''
in one of my numerous judicial committees, i was having to relate EVERYTHING i did with a guy that i snuck into my room one night. i glance over at one of the elders, and i sh!t you not...he was RUBBING HIS CROTCH!!!! i was so taken aback that i just quit talking and stared at him........he didn't even stop
