If they want to meet with you at your house, let them. But don't let them bully you into meeting them before Christmas. :D Just say, "Sorry, that time isn't convenient for me." Don't give them any info or any ammo. Then let them come over after Christmas and say, "Do you see any Christmas tree?" It'll annoy the hell out of them, coz they won't be able to prove anything. Hee-hee! (Of course, they'll probably start stalking you.)
Uh oh, we got caught

You said "JEhovah Jehovah Jehovah!" but he was sleeping and could not send angels to help...
Yes, remember when the Pagan Priests and Elijah or was it Elisha did the test of who's God would answer or not............Elisha suggested that maybe the Priest's God was on the toilet..........that scripture used to crack me up, and give me hope that someone actually had a sense of humor..........LOL..........

Effectively, they are strangers, w no business attempting to stick their noses in, or taking some action because of the gossip of some gad abouts.
Yep, I agree but it won't stop 'em!!

Blondie (put up her first tree but cannot be seen from any window)
We did too, Blondie. First one ever this year and it still feels weird to us.
M - hope this doesn't put a cramp in your style too much. We have resigned ourselves to the fact that they will nail us soon - for something anyway. Might as well have all the lights lit up and offer them a shot of eggnog and a Christmas cookie. As they leave in tembling fear - clink your glasses in a toast to new year an wish them a Good Night, and a cheery HO HO HO!!!

Don't be too surprised if they do NOTHING. At a lot of Halls they are, "letting sleeping dogs lie". There is so much fall out...or "away" I should say, that the J-Dub Masters are trying to play it down. Elders power and authority is illusion, and as with all illusions it must be used in the right setting and under limited controlled conditions. Do not waste a lot of emotional energy on this matter until these regects from a Mel Brooks movie come knocking. I don't think they will, unless you push them. Mav

I just hope they don't interrupt my favorite show when they call on us.
Hey, who says you have to turn off the TV? If they have something to say they can do so during commercial breaks.
It's your house, not theirs!

Did they take pictures, too?

mmm... I like WildHorses idea. Standing right next to the tree deny it is a Christmas tree, obviously with a straight face.
Alternately you could shove it up their ass if they disturb your privacy...
...but I don't have to be careful any more so it's easy for me to say...

Tell them that it was a gift from Jehovah... and that every good gift is from above.

Mulan,
That's what happened to my brother and wife. She decided to decorate one Christmas and someone saw it. He didn't stop her so they were both DFed. He told me recently that he decided he rather have his wife than the JW religion, even though he believed it at the time. He has seen the light now though, since I let him read C of C.
We exchange gifts and Christmas cards now. It has nothing to do with religion, pagan or otherwise. We are closer friends than we ever were as JWs. We have real love now, somehow the JW cult kept us from really experiencing that.
