    Just recently had one elder come around to see what what happening. Don't you hate it how they think they can just come around without calling first. Damn that annoys me.

    Anyway, he said whats happening mate, we haven't seen you.

    I mention 607 and how secular works dont support this. He says " What does it matter if 1914 is wrong" I don't say anything cos I am lost for words thinking to myself what the heck 1914 is the basis for major doctrine!!!

    I mention again about the sexual abuse settlement cases etc ( I have raised this previously with him quite a few months back), and he responds saying it happens in all the religions and

    mentioned about catholics covering it up. I said yeah but the catholics admitted to it. I said hang on we were handing out "End of False Religion is Near" tracts and basically having a go at

    other religions for covering this up and yet this is happening within the society. I said "isn't this hypocrytical"??? He said "no".........I'm like gee I am getting no where.

    I also mention that as an organisation there is never any works to help the poor in the community - you know his response about when natural dissasters strike dubs help each other blah

    blah blah and how preaching the good news is saving and changing lives.

    Before he leaves he says here is your mags that have been accumulating and the book released at the DC.

    LOL what an experience. I mean surely if you want to leave, you shouldn't have to answer to them.

    Don't you love how they make you feel like you have done something wrong! Damn I have that. Someone hand me a beer or two.

    we're the truth, we're the troof, because they say so.

    huh? oh, but that happens in other religions too.

    i just love the slam to other religions, but when it comes to covering their asses, oh, that's common all over.

    double talk, double speak, double scotch please.

    My ex used to unlock the front door and let our congregation's head hounder slip in to see if he could catch me reading apostate literature when he was in the same car group with her on Saturday morning.

    I installed a chain lock and they both got very upset with the new arrangement.

    Dat holeee spearit must not have been too charged up when the elder was visiting cuz usually 'it' can sense apostate material and buzz the elder in the a$$ with some of dat active force and let him know where it is hidden.

    at least they brought you yours. I have not been to a meeting in a month (since our DC) so I am sure my magazines are "piling up". No KM since April either. I still turn in service reports but I guess I am not good enough...

    oh, and by the way..I never just "popped" in on folks unexpectedly when I was an elder. Who knows what they have going on in their lives. I would always call first so they can have the house together or whatever.... (or hide their CoC book or shut off their 'postate web site )

    They call unexpectedly to see what you are up to, they do that thinking you may have gone back into the world and doing something unscriptual.

    It really is rude to call on someone out of the blue, I've had that happen a few times and to me they appear like detectives. I don't answer the door if they come around uninvited or without notice.

    The town I lived in was real understanding about sidearms, so one day I was getting ready to go to the range and had the 44 mag smith strpped on and headed out the door, well, guess who was standing on my proch, thats right rlders one and two. I politely said I was on my way out. I had only cracked to door enough so as to conseal the fact I was packing, but the puhy bastards wouldnt take no for an answer. You should have seen the look on their faces when I openned the door all the way, they almost tripped over each other getiing off my porch. They had had me on the carpet for owning a weapon because I was an ex con, for going to prison for the truth. Really pissed them off when Carter gave me a presidential pardon. After I got out of prison the elders were really down on brothers for taking that stand, saying they were cowards and should have pioneered.
