    This elder decided to make a visit on his own. I should've told him all sorts of crazy things and then when confronted---deny it.

    Min, I like the fact that you didn't answer every one of his questions, as they were too personal. JW's feel this prying "need to know everything" about you..........I hate that!!!

    The ball was definitely in your "court"...congrats

    Thanks Codeblue. I do understand the elder mentality. They really don't know how to handle it when you say, "No, I'm NOT going to talk about it". They'll have to be trained at a future school so as to give a response.

    The "authority" mentality creeps in. They expect you HAVE to answer them, when you've abley demonstrated that you don't.

    Good for you!

    Hi all,

    I'm a newbie here, but wanted to add that I got several calls last night too. I have recently started to "stray" so that Watchtower study had them calling me too. It's interesting how things work out...like someone said, only during a study like that, or the CO's visit do you matter.

    Thanks for making me feel like I'm not alone.
