Stall them; put them off, if they come to your work tell them you can't talk, you have important calls to make.
Tell them you are discouraged and tired, and will call them when you are ready.
Don't play their game.

I second the dress selfie request, although a 300 lb woman tellign someone about how they look.....well......there is no irony in the world that can surpass it.
Your hubby doesn't have to meet with them. Make sure he responds kindly and simply. Don't be afraid of awkward silence. Its awkward for them....not you! :)

Goatee’s rock. I grew mine a month after I left.
I agree with everyone else. Ignore their requests and if he is confronted about anything, lie lie lie… We’ve had phone calls and knocks on the door from elders. Last time I spoke to them, I told them, “You only have power over me if I give it to you. I don’t.” and ended the phone call there. Stay strong and reward your hubby accordingly...

The wtbts is the master of evading the difficult questions. You have learned from them, so evade the hell out of them. Worked for me. Whenever the hounders came I'd talk about work, pets, family, ask about their families etc, and when they'd say, everyone miss you at the hall I'd just say, ' yeah well...' And move on, or say, "people at the hall know my address and have my phone number so if they miss me they know where to find me."
Don't mention doubts or ttatt, especially if there are two of them. Evade anything they say to lead you into that sort of discussion. Don't answer the gb question. I refused to answer it so they couldn't do anything. When the term 'apostate' came to the lips of one hounder I told him I'd been christened Anglican so was an apostate Anglican. Evade in such ways. Eventually they'll get sick of you.

Hope you will get this sorted out. It's annoying dodging these guys.
Take care X

I agree - Goatees rock - I grew mine back when I learnt it was a WBTS no-no (I had shaved it off after the missus complained that it irritated her skin - I subsequently realised this was not actually the case and that the real reason for her complaints were WBTS conditioning) and continue to ignore constant complaints about it. It was good enough for her when she met me so it should still be good enough. If her skin shows signs of irritation then I will shave it off - but that is not the case and I am careful when I kiss her so as not to give her cause.
