Hubby and I *did* get into that discussion... whether he'd want me blabbing how he thought and felt to the elders if they'd called when I was home. Of course, I know if I ever did that he'd be furious with me (yet he can't understand why I was so annoyed!!). Even while we were JWs, he was firmly of the "what is said behind these four walls, stays behind these four walls" camp. I guess that only applies to me talking about him, and not the other way around....
Anyway, I have thought of an even better response to the elders' question Do You Consider Yourself to Be a JW? The best possible answer is: "That's none of your business; it's between Jehovah and me."
I would have been all over them like a rabid banshee. Nice to know they're scared $h!tle$$ of me. heh heh heh
I'm ROFLMAO at this...of COURSE they're scared of you! And with good reason, I might add. After all, they aren't used to having to deal with women who not only are able to think for themselves, without their hubbies telling them what to think and feel, but *gasp* a woman who can also SPEAK for herself??! Probably makes em mess their undies You go, girl!
Heh heh..... I'm trying really really hard to resist the urge to call up J. (the elder's wife) and ask her if she's done scrubbing the racing stripes out of her husband's drawers yet....
"You will have to ask them yourself. I am not in a position to speak on their behalf."
Nicely put. This is precisely how my bro has always handled it when people ask him questions about others. Drives him nuts when dey do dat. This reply is very effective.
