To get a break from my JW parents when I was 17 (I'm 25 now) I took an apartment of my own. I was working full time and going to school. A busy schedule that allowed me to miss meetings without them constantly hounding me. I was on my own though which was the most important thing to me, or so I thought. On Christmas eve I had several of my friends over including one who was DF'ed. As the evening went on most went home and at 2am there was about 4 people over, including the DF'ed person. Then there was a knock on the door two local elders on a sheparding call. Yes at 2am. They had noticed the DF'ed person's car on the road outside my house and thought they'd drop in and question me about it. The DF'ed person was in the washroom at the time so they didn't see him, but interrogated myself and my 2 other friends about it for half an hour. Finally they left! So we waited another half hour and thought they were gone for good and I decided to leave my home with these friends of mine and go to another's house in the DF'ed person's car. We're driving along a lightly snow covered road when the driver says, "Someone is behind us." I turn around to recognize the car as one of the elder's cars, FOLLOWING US! The driver kicks on the gas we accelerate, the snow causes the car to slide, right into a telephone pole. The elders pull up along side us and say, "Care to change you story now?" They cought me, I hope they got what they were looking for! I was only reproved at that time (My first time). My disfellowshipping came months later which is a story in itself as my apartment at the time was illegally entered and searched for evidence against me. I'll tell that one another time!
