Do you still fear an elder visit, when you see a car drive up slowly...

  When you see a car drive slowly in front of your house, do you still think it may be an elder coming by to see you?

  I remember a few years ago, each time a car drove by slowly in front of here, expecially around 7pm on evenings when there was no meetings, or on Saturday mornings, I got away from the window, and looked outside from another window where I wouldnt be seen, incase it was an elder coming to see me.

  If it was the case, I would turn off the TV so that there would be no noise when they would come to my door. Then they would leave after a few knocks.

  Since many years, they don't come anymore.

  My major hope would be to cut such a visit short and avoid a lengthy hounding session. Turning on the Christmas lights and getting my copy of Crisis of Conscience handy would go a long way toward shortening the visit. And, if they try to haul me to the back room, they had better be ready for a no-show. My primary "weapon" is to make them waste time on a case that they are not going anywhere with, and make them waste energy that could be used to further field circus.

  No, I do not have a vicious animal. In fact, I think having apostate material on hand would give me the most fun, as they would likely flee from it as if it were a physical threat (and probably even worse). Nor do I need booby traps or 24/7 surveillance. I can do more damage to them (spiritually) by sending them to an apostate site than anything else.

  Not really, the visits never bother me because I've lost any fear of them. They no longer hold any power over my mind.
  
  The only annoying thing is the prospect of them popping by when my place is a mess.

  I can finally say,from my heart, that I´m not scared of them any more.

  I have taken my power back.
