Hello again everyone.
My wife just called me at work to inform me the same 2 elders that paid us a visit the other night stopped by this morning ( while I wasn't home, of course!). They said they wanted to talk to her about the way she felt about the organization. She basically said the same things I did and they told her that there would be a letter of disassociation read at the next meeting. She asked them their reason for stopping by after all this time and they said something about caring for the flock. She asked them why they hadn't cared for the last 3 years and they did not know what to say. This is the first time I ever heard of an elder at a loss for words! Anyway, they asked her why we did not just disassociate ourselves a long time ago and she told them that she did not want to come across someone she used to know on the street or anywhere else for that matter and have them completely ignore her and she was also wondering why these same people never bothered to even see how we were doing for the past 3 years. They told her that no one has been associating with us because of a letter that I wrote to the GB 3 years ago questioning some of the teachings. My wife said she only thought of asking after they left "How did the entire cong find out about a letter that I wrote to the GB?" Anyway, they told her that after they make the announcement that we were da'ing ourselves, that as a consequence, we would be shunned by the entire cong and all other witnesses. They also told her that by being shunned she may eventually change her mind and come back into the org. She asked them how being treated that way would ever make her want to come back to that. They didn't appreciate that comment and told her that she deserves whatever she gets for becoming 'part of the world' and 'returning like a dog to his vomit'. She then asked them how it felt that their beloved org. has been riding the back of the great whore by being a member of the UN. (info that I got off this site, by the way. Thanks!) They told her that this was just a rumor being spread by apostates and there was no truth to it. This was when she showed them a printout of the letter to the UN. They were so taken aback! She said they actually looked at each other like they knew that it was the truth and they were wondering how we got this info. She also asked them about the 'Pay Attention to yourselves and all the Flock' Book that is given to elders. They again said they had no idea what she was talking about. She then proceeded to show them a copy of this also and they did not know which way to turn. She caught them in 3 lies in the space of 5 minutes. They asked her if she would please give them the book as it is only to be read by elders and she informed them she would not hand it over as it did not belong to them and she has not shown it to everyone yet! These 2 elders were quite pissed, to say the least. They eventually left after finding out their scare tactics would not make her come back to the fold, so to speak. Anyway, thank you all for your comments on my previous posts and I just cannot explain how I and my wife feel right now. It feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off our shoulders. Thanks again for letting me vent.
