LABEL LICKER- I agree with those who say to ignore it. No need to reply. That way you're not saying " no " . They can't DF you for just not going to meetings. But they WILL try to DF people for what they say or words they use. You don't owe the elders any explanation. If they try calling on you at your door you could always lie and just say " I may come back some day , but I'm dealing with some personal issues, thanks anyway". And excuse yourself and close the door. I've actually done that before and they stopped bothering me in that particular congregation years ago

It,s funny to read new ones trying to figure how to avoid
the Elders, I understand, I was there (avoiding the elders).
It,s hard for others to understand, why can,t you tell them
F---- off, they are only men, nothing special. I laugh about
myself when I would go to the back of the house when freinds (JW,S)
come over to visit my wife, I can,t beleive I would actually leave the
room in my own home that I pay for, because a JW was sitting in my
house. LOL

I wouldn't be sooo hard to do that Jam except I have a couple of relatives that are in and I have the most awesome hairdresser who is one as well. Good hairdressers are hard to find. LOL.
Mouthy, I will keep a down low like you say. Yesterday I was at a store and the two girls working behind the counter was a gal I had studied with for a year and a half and beside her was a witness. The witness was from another hall and had heard I was gone and asked if she could help me with anything. I told her what I took it up in prayer and this is the path Jehovah is leading me and have to listen to him. (thank you Jw net) She started to cry and I thought what the,,,,
Please Mouthy be patient with me for I have a trust factor that I have to work on but you will meet with me soon. It stems from when I was a kid and coming back into the religion made it worse. I love you guys for all your help and feel more closer to you guys whom I have never met than the ones who were standing in front of me at the hall and looking past me while I'm talking to them.
Thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Label Licker: We all understand your predicament,
we all have been there. But one day that power will
change, that control they have over you and when that happen,
oh boy, what a joyous time.
My grandfather told me when I was 8 or 9 years old, a bully was
given me a hard time each day at school, he told me find you
a stick and whack him across the noggin. Well one day I did just
that, and he never bother me again. That,s how I view the WT elders,
bullies.

This reminds me of my former Kingdom Hall. It was a "critical care" hall, they only cared when it was critical.
Ignore them, they really don't have the time, neither do they care.
