Well, I panicked, I prepared and had excuses ready.
Strategies and contingency plans up and running. I have been awaiting, nay willing my "inactive persons' shepherding call" (whatever) and it hasn't happened yet!
Has anybody else had a visit?

Can you give an example of those "things"? Whips? Thumb screws? Thanks! gary
Dont hold your breath waiting..I faded away pretty much about 7 years ago and only attended occasionally yet I was never called or visited until I showed up with my son 3 years ago and was promptly harrased with calls and visits and then disfellowshipped when I refused to meet with them for the third time.

They have 3 months to do this officially, January, February, March. I think they are shooting for a record number of publishers in April, haha.
I'm sure it will be timed to be completed just before the CO's visit. If you can check around when that is, you might have their window of opportunity.
Just don't get upset and lose your cool. Heap coals upon their heads. Keep it simple, answer questions with a question.

Simply tell them that you are not going to answer any questions. Period.
Minimus,
Simply tell them that you are not going to answer any questions. Period.Then what? They will DF you in no time if you don't cooperate. The way I see it, you have to go back fast or leave for good. They want a good clean up.
i haven't gotten any visit either. been faded for about 2 years now, but i moved out of a large metropolitan area to a much smaller community in a different state.
I am expecting a visit any time now. My parents called me last week and actually begged me to go to a meeting. They haven't asked me to go for a long time. I suspect they know that the elders are planning on doing something about me soon......
