I have to share my elder chase story as well:
The witch hunt to disfellowship me started because I was the oldest JW among my friends (all of them were 1 or 2 years younger than me). Little did they know these other girls were actually a thousand times more immoral than me, having sex, drinking, drugs, etc.(The WORST thing I did was have a secret boyfriend now and then and mess around...The elders basically singled me out because I was the only one of my friends with a car and dubbed me the ring leader of the Slutty Girl Movement)
I moved out shortly after my parents found out I was friends with a "Worldly" boy and wanted me to call him to tell him I couldn't be his friend anymore unless he became a JW. I realized I could have called him and then called him later to tell him it was bull shiat, but it was the POINT. I was 18 years old and I wasn't having it. The last straw was when my parents went out of town and I didn't feel like going to the meeting while they were gone, so the elders rolled by my house and reported to my parents that I was MIA at the meeting when they came back from their trip. They had also been following my car on our lunch breaks from school to see if there were any "worldly" kids in the car
Once I moved out on my own and stopped going to meetings, the elders REALLY wanted to get rid of me. Now I had a house were all the Naughty Girls could congregate. Some of them were still allowed to come to my apartment although I wasn't attending meetings.
I stupidly started smoking around this time. The elders were tipped off that I was smoking by my boss who I thought was cool, but was actually a JW. (His wife would routinely have me remove Porn from his computer at work!!!!) Anyway, the elders would follow me around to try and catch me with a cigarrette! One time, I missed a shepherding call because I was called in to work. I called them to cancel the shepherding call, to their dismay. Wouldn't you know it, they sent an elder in to CHECK to my job to see if I had actually gone to work!!!!!
I had been telling the elders that I did smoke at one time, but that I had recently quit. I feigned repentance because I didn't want to be forbidden from talking to my parents and friends, but I don't think they bought it. Finally, one day they parked a block away from my house so I couldn't see them coming, and my dumb butt answered the door with a CIGARETTE IN MY MOUTH!!!!!!! I thought it was one of my friends. I almost peed my pants. It was too late anyway; they had come to disfellowship me.
I'm sure glad they did.
