Call Elder "A" and say..."This week is not a good time to visit...I have more on my plate than I can handle now and can't fit you in."

How about handling it the ADULT way: by telling them why you don't want them to visit. After all, they are performing their Christian duty as Shepherds by visiting you. For that they can't be criticized. At John 10:14, Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me." To get to know you better and to help you with issues that you may have - that is their goal. How obtuse to spurn their care.

How obtuse to spurn their care.
Seeing that thier version of care is rather obtuse and clouded in a bunch of hypocritical nonsense I'm not sure why anyone would consider it a pleasure to deal with them. They come over and poke and prod about why you miss meetings, when you are coming back, and even if you are engaging in wrong doing. Theocrat, surely you know we are mostly XJWs here and have little if any use for thier brand of "spirit direction"
Sincerely,
District Overbeer

Theocrat, we are discussing circumstances where you tell them not to come and they "drop by" anyway or without asking.

Indeed I do know that, which may very well explain why you find comfort in lurking around these forums venting YOUR perceptions of an organization that uses imperfect men to carry out the Lord's work. Look at yourselves...you're lives are crap. You fail to realize that the issues at stake here are so much bigger than prodding elders or whisperings of wrongdoing. If your resentment of God's channel during this pivotal time is keeping you from seeing those issues, then I don't know if I would trade places with you for all the whiskey in Ireland. Remember: resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

You dont get it do you? You think they are adults? You think they really care? Why dont you go and read shotguns threads! They only care about statistics. They are hard headed inmature people who cant even answer a simple question.
Castles, why dont you tell them to come back later because you have a hot woman in the shower with you.

Really? Then why are you here? Why are you posting? You think you by yourself can change the minds of alot of people who have experienced and known the true colors of the Organization, because thats all it is, an organazation making money and browbeating the few members they think they have.
