Remember earlier in the year when the elders were supposed to try to contact all inactive ones to try to get them active again? What success rate did they have? How many were DA'd or DF'd after these visits? How many came clean that they wanted no part of the organization?
The elders gave it their all to contact me. I avoided them for awhile, but finally got cornered. I met with them and instead of just blasting away with what I learned I played it a little cooler. I admitted that I had doubts. I was concerned about the change in the generation teaching. I brought out how I learned about the 586/7 vs 607 problem. I purposely did not mention the UN or the pedophile issue. I wanted to actually give them a chance to try to explain doctrinal points first. One elder was very understanding and actually agreed to do more research and get back to me. He did ask though, that if he did prove 607 correct, would I accept it. I agreed(knowing that he can't "prove" it). The other elder was a hard case. He asked if I still accepted the GB as the F&DS. I responded, "That's a good question. I just don't know anymore". I wanted them to research, come back, try and fail to convince me. I left it wide open for them to really work with me. I haven't received one call since then. In the few meetings that I have attended since then, I have been greeted and chatted with, but nothing about our discussions or the pending research. I should consider myself lucky that they are not hounding me to decide for or against the organization, but it makes me wonder how much they may realize that they can't win so they are avoiding the situation altogether.
How about some of you? What happened when they tried contacting you?
