Horentsia- That is messed up, she obvioulsly didnt care whether or not you were her friend.
I do wonder when the CO visits or its time for a assembly, when I dont go, they will start hounding. Or maybe the CO WILL hound them to hound me

Most people really don't care. 99.5% I'd say. And you know what? I don't care if these people ever find out the truth about the truth. I'd rather let them rot in their chair until "the end". They were never there for me and I don't care if they keep living a lie. They are fare-weather friends, conditional people in your life that will leave you for not even knowing why you stopped, left, got dfd or whatever. I hope most of them never find out the truth.
HONEYBUCKET- I have kind of a theory on this. If they think an inactive person is " salvageable " - for instance not considered a " threat " to other JW's by sharing " apostate " ideas then elders may try calling an inactive person for a little while. But once an inactive person displays ANY sign of independent thinking or disagrees with the elders and stays away fom the congregation for a length of time- in time the elders give up on " restoring " them.
Now that rule doesn't apply if it's an elder who fades and it becomes known to elders that he is actively influencing meeting attending JW's in the ways of " apostasy " . Then they'll chase after that guy like their life depends on it ! That being said , the elders gave up on calling on me because I refused to return their phone calls and I'd hang up on them when they called me. LOL !
