So here's the story. My brother invited me over to his place, just to hang out, watch movies, etc. He was supposed to work until 4, so I should come by anytime after that. I get there at 4:30, and he's still not home, as he had to work a little late. The kids were also not there, so it ended up being just me and my sister-in-law there until he got home.
Well, this was the day a couple of elders from her congregation decided to stop by for what was according to them, "not a shepherding call, really, but more of a social visit", one in which they were prompted to be dressed in suits and bring their bibles along. My sister-in-law, upon seeing them in the driveway, persuaded me to hide in the bathroom for the entirety of their visit, which seemed like an hour, but in reality was more like 15 to 20 minutes. I can't tell you how ridiculous I felt doing this, because a) there was absolutely nothing to hide, b) I couldn't give one rat's ass what these men have to say, anyway, and c) I wasn't even there to see her, my brother invited me over. I went along with it for her sake, because I had learned from previous experience that a lecture would have ensued.
In case you think my SIL was simply being paranoid, this had happened once before, at my parents house. It ended up being just the two of us, as my parents had stepped out, and I didn't even realize it. My other brother's wife stopped by the house to drop something off and caught the two of us watching a movie (how scandalous!). I figured she would mention something to my brother, but that's all the farther it would go. But low and behold, after the next meeting, I was called into the chamber of horrors elder's room to discuss how inappropriate it is for two people of the opposite sex, who aren't married, to be alone together.
Because of their inability to let people exercise their own consciences in even the simplest of matters, I was forced to spend 20 minutes hiding in the bathroom from nosy men, who weren't even invited in the first place.
