Nickolas, you mentioned that she said she told you how upset she is you wont be in the new system. Thats a plan of attack. Shes trying to work your emotions in a subtle way.

Nickolas, if I were a gambler I would lay all my material assets on the table and bet that your spouse told the elders that you constructed a building on your property sans building permit.
That is why she freaked out when the nosy bastird showed up and asked you about a permit.
My ex told the elders everything after I quit attending meetings.
The bitch even gave one of them a key so he could get into my home while they were out in Service so he could spy on me with the pretense that she gave it to him so he could take a whizz in my bathroom.
For all I know she could have been giving him more than a key to the house because I certainly wasn't invited to give her anything after I left Jehober.

Actually, no. I called the city before building and was told I did not need a permit because the shed was within a certain maximum size. It's quite legal. When the elder came to buddy up my wife looked uncomfortable - not because she had set it up, but because she didn't want the guy there. Sort of like poking a bear with a sharp stick. I have been known to "bite". Our relationship isn't in the least vindictive. She doesn't play games but I do believe that my wife would just do what is expected of her by the Society as a devoted follower, and if that is to be forthright about the atheist she's married to, then it may be happening. If so it elevates the conversation to a different level, hence my OP.

I was never encouraged to talk about my UBM. Then, again, I was a college grad (only one in congregation that was), my spouse was a professional and I think we intimidated most of them. I was pretty much left alone. The only disussions I had were with other wives about normal husband-wife areas (he does/doesn't pick up after himself type of things.)

Thank you, Bystander. Our situation is exactly as yours. We met in college (ed. except we call it university here in Canada). We are a much different couple from the norm, if there is such a thing as a normal Watchtower couple.

Hey Nickolas..
If you didn`t want him there and your Mrs didn`t want him there..
Then he`s there to snoop..
That's what I'm thinking, too, OUTLAW.

Ok we`re on the right track then..JW Elders are WBT$ Policemen..
What fabricated crime is he looking for?..
Maybe one of your DF`d relatives in your home?..Then he could DF your wife too..
These people will have no problem invading your privacy..Or..
Causing another member of your family grief..

That's my puzzlement. It seemed like a fishing expedition, but I'm just not sure. Maybe he was innocently trying to strike up some sort of relationship with me (which would be like a gazelle cozying up to a hyena) but that doesn't make sense. We're worlds apart in all respects. I'm beginning to think he took his own initiative and decided to "just pop over and see what he could do to be friendly", sort of thing. Love Bombing 101.
