JW's Offer Me A Plea Bargain. (page 3)

ChuckD

I have never gotten a call or a visit. They know where I live, and could find me if they want. I wonder how much of my online activity gets back to the locals? I always post under my real name, so they would have no trouble knowing who I am if they were at all interested.

The plea bargain issue reminds me of a time during my teens that I was called before the Elder's Grand Jury and asked about this "sinful" incident in which some friends and I drank a few beers (the shock!). They offered me a lighter sentence for fingering the other guys. Oh, to have been the man I am now back then. It was incidents like this that most influenced my path over the years.

Just yesterday, I was at the local Home Depot and saw one of the old-time elders buying some paint. I don't think he saw me or recognized me if he did. What struck me most was the fact that I lived so much of my life in fear of this frail old man. Don't get me wrong, I have no axe to grind against him - he remains a very good and kindhearted man. But he is just that - an aging, naïve and childless man whose life is now going into its twilight with none of the plans he had made coming to fruition. It was sad to see him looking as old as he is. My memories of him were of a much younger man, and I am sure that dealing with being this age is nothing he ever planned for.

It's amazing that Dubs are so blind they won't speak to you even if they have absolutely no idea why. Once again, the WTBTS has done a masterly job of polarizing their minds for them into Good and Bad.

If only life were that simple, eh?

One thing that I like about the Dubs is that you can pretty much walk into any congregation anywhere, and they would be friendly with you etc, ask you to take a Bible study (as nowadays they're generally so desperate for converts they've stopped asking questions), even come to your home and have long philosophical discussions with you.

I'd love to find out their reaction if they knew who you really were.

I've been out 11 years and haven't received ONE visit. They know where I live (Dallas) and could easily find me (my parents are still in). Wow. They must think I'm a lost cause. LOL!

Ohhhh, I eagerly wait for the day that they dare set foot on my property. When I DAed myself I explicitly stated in my letter that they were not to attempt to contact me again.

Because I gave them written notice, I can sue if they trespass on my property or "harass" me. At least that is how I understand the law.

My mother has also left the JWs, kind of ducked out of site and moved out of state. My sister who also left has told me that some of the elders have cornered her a few times trying to get my mothers phone number or address.
It is amusing, I actually helped them build their KH and they had all these pictures of me for their slide show. They actually had to throw out half their slides because I was in them.

Quote...Never heard of the one month deal. Does anyone know if this is a new policy or something?

This is big news to me! 6 months was the soonest you could get back and that was from the time you began returning..last I heard.

E-man...why were you df'ed just for hanging out with your pal?
It used to be the only way you could be df'ed for associating with another df'ed person was...IF YOU CARRIED THE BANNER FOR HIM.

In other words if you complained the elders were wrong in their decision and your associate didn't deserve what he got. (you had to be VERBAL about it)
