    Im very shaken right now...I dont want to meet with them, and I dont want to have any contact with them at all. Lying IS an option.
    What would you suggest me to do?

    Be a man. Say no. Don't lie. Who is the Father of the lie?

    Don't answer the email and label it as spam to block his further emails. Make it difficult to meet you and he will eventually give up.

    Back to the subject...

    I like LWT's reply. Well thought out and worded.

    The only negative is that as persistent as this elder has been, I'd be afraid that won't stop him. Just getting a reply may encourage him to 'get to the bottom' of the problem. Ignoring him sends a stronger signal of not wanting to talk (at least it would to me). You just have to be prepared for the inevitable unannounced call at the door one Saturday morning. Then you have to muster up the moxie to tell him to his face you don't want to talk.

    You don't have to lie. But don't let them intimidate you either. They are only at best a mindless robot of the WTS.

    Arrange a time for them to come to your house but have the cops waiting there to arrest them for harassment!!!

    Whatever my girlfriend deside to do, i hope this WONT be it :-D.

    Seriously, thanks for all the kind words, there was some very good suggestions - especially thanks to nugget and LWT, its the route we will take if the problem persists. The solutions might seem obvious to you, but its a really great comfort to hear from you and know we are answering them the best we can.

    Isn’t it awful what a cult can do to our sense of well being. Please do this and give yourself some peace of mind this holiday season, spend fifty bucks and go to almost any attorney and simply ask them to type out a letter from their office requesting the elders or any other representative of the Watchtower Society to hence forth cease any and all contact with you. The attorneys office send will send the letter by return receipt, if they come to your door before they receive this cease and desist letter” from your attorney, simply give them one of his business cards and close the door. I guarantee you will have no further problems. Merry Christmas!

    BOHM- I agree with Leaving WT's advice. Use his suggestions as you are doing and I think things will go smoothly for you. Good luck, Peace out, Mr. Flipper
