Silent elder at my door

    JH is not paranoid either. I have known elders over the years who purposely drove by the homes of the inactive at this time of year to see if they have decorations up. This was in 4 separate congregations in 4 separate towns/cities/states. I asked if if that is what it means when the Bible says that God's eyes are upon us, that he is hoping to catch us doing something bad?

    You know, I was sitting here thinking, "Wouldn't a 'Shepherding Call' have accompished their mission of 'catching' inactive ones celbrating Christmas? That would a more 'loving' way to do it." Then I realized, they only want to put on the "loving" face if someone else is watching. But, if they are sneaking around, no one is supposed to know what they're doing. So, they don't have to put on all that fake crap about caring for the "flock."

    I'm glad you caught them, JH! I hope they pee'd their pants!!!

    Next year, photocopy the cover of "Crisis of Conscience" book and hang over there, with a note "Because of Conscience, we're never celebarte." Surely you will help another couple flee from the Borg. For most of them haven't know the book yet. I myself heard about "a brother in Gov't Body is apostate" but never know his name or his book until I read a "worldly" research book on religions, which mention Ray Franz' name and title of his book. Mind you, they will "silently" take the "field service record notebook" to write down the title and the author when they see the little note on front cover of CoC "Former Governing Body Member of Jws"

    that is why I am glad I moved far far away.. I have my own life now.

    You sure busted them. I have to wonder if they almost wet their pants when they saw you down there looking up at them!

    HEY! I know you're only spying on me! But, you're just making a fool out of yourself. Oh and you're also freaking out the lady next door and she's dialing 911 right now!"

    You could also write a note saying the lady next door is dialing 911, but i am dialing 357!

    Why not put them on the spot, like, "What are you doing here? And how come you didn't knock?" And watch them squirm. Then when they tell you some cock and bull story, look them right in the eye and say," God hates a liar!" Then give them the hand and walk away! They are nothing! Maverick

    I wholeheartedly agree with Maverick. Dubs shy away from confrontation... so confront them! Tell them how "happY" you are that they dropped by to "show they're love" very sarcastically, and tell them again sarcastically that it's nice that they dropped by on you, and do it again same time next year!

    Maybe they dare to go to donut shop for a couples of minutes, so better to go for spying your home. Just wonder: Did they report the time they spent in front of your doors, and what they will report? "Return Visit" ?
