Need Your Opinions.. To have dinner with inquiring minds or not?? (page 3)

And record it, so if they twist the truth you got evidence.

And record it, so if they twist the truth you got evidence. Yes, my best friend suggested this too! We have a recorder we used on the elders, it would be smart to tape it, I agree. Sincerely, Lady Liberty

If you really feel that you want to go, you could always use the argument 'there are some things that should be kept between husband and wife and their god/Jehovah/Allah/whoever'. If they ask you direct questions, try shrugging and saying 'inshallah' in an ironic sort of voice.

We breifly exchanged how our families were, then before we hung up, I told her that I was sure she probably had heard many rumors about us. And that they were all lies. She said that was good to hear and that she would keep that in mind.

My question is this: If she had heard many of these rumors already, why would she approach you to want to go out to dinner with you? It just sounds very suspicious. But, then again, maybe they just really miss you two. Why not just go ahead and go; but don't give them any information that they can use as ammunition.

On secret recording. Been there and done that. I don't recommend it, too much of a distraction and at a dinner party you could easily run out of tape before anything important came up and then you might find it is unintelligible anyway. Save it for a committee meeting or get one of those things at Radio Shack to record phone conversations and draw them out on the phone.

Dear Gregor,

I agree it may be a distraction, but like KW13 said, I would have proof in case the trumpted up false accusations against things we suposedly said. I purchased a pocket recorder from Best Buy that does not take a tape and is voice activated. It will record up to 7 hours. So I know it would last the length of the night. Problem could arise though if I had a couple of drinks, which I know I would need in order to be comfortable. But then, I would be less cautious as to what I said. And we all know how alcohol is.. a truth serum. Maybe I will go back to bed and say I over slept, since it was a Saterday, I never got up...Ha Ha Ha!

SIncerely,

Lady Liberty

The thing to remember is that the organisation only has such power as YOU choose to give it (or, as a wise poster said recently, as the French Foreign Legion).

Assuming that you and your OH aren't deserters from the Legion des Etrangers, that equates to bugger all in the real world.

Dear Arthur, This is EXACTLY what I thought of when she said it. They were the "friends" that told our other friends we were bad association. This was when we were still trying to come to all the meetings, but was having a hard time dealing with all the emotion of losing my grandfather to death. It was a emotional time for me and she knew it. We never meant to quit cold turkey, but with all the lack of love and concern for what I was going through at the time from my so called friends, and all the crap I was uncovering we wern't as regular as we had been. And of course I could no longer answer like I once had because of all the lies I was discovering about the organization. Anyway, I resented her judging me instead of trying to help me. So the obvious question is now after a year and a half of no meetings... why would I think she would feel any diffeent towards me now. Afterall she said I was bad association and we were still trying to attend at the time. I don't doubt she misses our friendship because we did have alot of fun together, however, I certainly don't think she is sincerely interested in investigating our findings if she knew what they were. She told me she has a study, so that tells me she is still in the thick of it. Sincerely, Lady Liberty
