  I was going to fade but found I didn't have the patience for it. I wrote a letter.

  Resigned as an elder and stopped attending meetings a fortnight later. Told the other elders that I'd never believed in it and that if I wanted help, I'd call them. I didn't.

  Like you I have tried to take it slowly.

  However one elder this past month or so is taking a very special interest in "helping" me.

  Why they can't just leave people alone..............

  We did that too. It took 2 years, but so far we were successful. Seven years out and we aren't df'd ...................yet!

  well, caspian, if this elder has taken you on as a pet project, it must be because you have not made your stance clear.........

  I get soooo friggin' aggravated when people complain that the Witnesses won't "leave them alone"..........

  Here's an idea.....

  Grow a spine and STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!!

  How about telling them to NEVER come back to your house?

  I have been here and done this and have the lousy t-shirt............

  No one would tolerate a complete STRANGER constantly bothering them at their home.............

  why are the Witnesses treated differently?

  "if you stand for nothing, you will fall for ANYTHING..............."

  Perhaps, Caspian, they don't leave you alone because you stay friends with the Bethelites.
