I'm sorry I'm right. I have always thought most elders wives to be "petty and sniveling" as your daughter so eloquently put it. I just didn't think a lurker here would really give a rat's butt. I just remembered you mentioning the car in the driveway and thought...well...you know...
Seriously, I hope this doesn't make it too difficult for you and your friend. *shaking head* Lord knows, you both probably need a good friendship. Nowadays those are so hard to come by.
I have to let this die down, folks. We are pretty sure there are elder lurkers, and this might cause more trouble. Sorry. I removed my photo and name for awhile. I'll put those back when it seems safe. Trouble is accelerating.
They know things about us that they wouldn't know if they weren't reading this board. I've written about her too, and it can make a BAD situation for her.

15 Understandably, this may be difficult because of emotions and family ties, such as grandparents’ love for their grandchildren. Yet, this is a test of loyalty to God, as stated by the sister quoted on page 26. Anyone who is feeling the sadness and pain that the disfellowshipped relative has thus caused may find comfort and be encouraged by the example set by some of Korah’s relatives.
I'VE BEEN READING YOUR POST HERE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND I'VE THOUROUGHLY ENJOYED YOUR POST, AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS. I JUST HAD TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE ACCUSATION THAT YOUR HUBBY HAS HIS OWN CHURCH IS NOT ORIGINAL NOR UNIQUE. IT IS KNOWN AS TRUE JW FACT THROUGHOUT THE WASATCH FRONT (MOUNTAIN RANGE IN SALT LAKE CITY AREA)THAT MY HUSBAND STARTED HIS OWN CHURCH AND THAT HUNDREDS HAVE BEEN LED AWAY FROM THE'TRUTH'BY HIS SELF-SERVING APOSTATE WAYS. TO THIS DAY WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE NAME OF THIS PHANTOM CHURCH IS OR WHERE IT IS LOCATED. IT IS ALSO A KNOWN JW FACT THAT HE IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE HE CARRIES GUNS (YES, HE DOES DURING HUNTING SEASON AND SO DO I). THEY ARE AFRAID OF HIM/ME. ANOTHER JW 'TRUTH'IS THAT HE HAS HIS OWN APOSTATE WEB PAGE. TO THIS DAY WE'VE SEARCHED DILIGENTLY TO FIND THIS PHANTOM APOSTATE WEB PAGE. SO, YOU SEE WHEN THE REAL TRUTH DOESN'T WORK FOR THEM THEY JUST DO WHAT THERE 'FATHER' DID AND STILL DOES........THEY LIE! WORKED FOR SATAN, WORKS FOR THEM. WHAT IS SO FUNNY ABOUT THE PHANTOM APOSTATE WEB PAGE IS THAT A LOT OF JW WHO HEARD THIS GOT REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND WENT TO THE INTERNET THEMSELVES TO SEE FOR THEMSELVES JUST HOW BAD MY HUBBY HAD BECOME. IT BACKFIRED...OH, YES, BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THESE JWS WOULD NEVER HAVE GONE A LOOK'N. THEY FOUND SO MUCH INFO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN AND CAUSED THEM A GREAT DEAL OF CONCERN. THEY FOUND EVERYTHING BUT HIS PHANTOM APOSTATE WEB PAGE. A LOT OF THEM WERE ELDERS WIVES (SO YOU KNOW THEY GOSSIPPED ABOUT WHAT THEY FOUND). TWO WRONGS WERE COMMITTED HERE (1)READING APOSTATE INFO IN THE INTERNET, (2) GOSSIPPING ABOUT IT. SOMEHOW ALL OF THIS GAVE ME SOME SINCE OF VINDICATION AS WELL AS A WHOLE LOT OF LAUGHS. SUEING THEM MAY BE A PROBLEM THOUGH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PROVE IT AND ALL THEY WILL DO IS...YOU GOT IT...LIE, LIE, LIE. NOW, IF YOU CAN GET IT IN WRITING, WELL THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.
I'LL READ YOUR POST OR YOU CAN WRITE TO ME SO I CAN KEEP UP ON THIS ONE.
REMEMBER, KEEP THE FAITH AND TOSS ALL THE GARBAGE WHERE IT BELONGS.
Thank you Suscarra. It just amazes me the lies they tell, and get away with. My daughter in law, who has never been a JW, asks me why I care what they say about us. I wonder that too. Why do I care?

WHY DO YOU CARE? BECAUSE IT'S JUST NATURAL TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT YOU. AT THE TIME THESE THINGS REALLY HURT AND BEING DFD IT HURT ME TO KNOW THAT I COULDN'T DEFEND MYSELF. HOWEVER, NOW I FIND THAT THEIR VICIOUS LIES ARE BASICALLY SORT OF A JW RESTRAINING ORDER IN REVERSE. THE BIGGER THE LIE THE MORE LIKELY THEY WILL AND DO STAY AWAY FROM ME AND MY FAMILY. THE PEOPLE WHO TRULY KNOW US KNOW THAT IT IS LIE AND THEREFORE THEY DOUBT. THIS DOUBT WILL LEAD THEM EVENTUALLY TO THE REAL TRUTH AND IT IS MY HOPE TO HAVE THOSE THAT I TRULY LOVE AND RESPECT BACK IN MY LIFE.
OH, ALSO, MY HUSBAND SENT A LETTER TO THE elders THAT THEY WERE NOT TO CALL HIM AND TO ONLY RESPOND IN WRITING TO HIM OR TO HIS LAWYER, THAT VERY NIGHT THEY CALLED AND ASKED HIM TO MEET WITH THEM THE FOLLOWING NIGHT CONCERNING APOSTACY. HE ASKED THEM IF THEY READ HIS LETTER. THEY SAID THEY DID. HE TOLD HIM NO. THEY CALLED HIM LATER TO TELL HIM THAT THEY HAD DFD HIM FOR APOSTACY AND THAT HE HAD THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THEIR DECSION IF HE SO WANTED TO. WHAT A JOKE THEY ARE.
