Do you care about being DF'd?

Not a bit

Most JW's who have been away from meetings probably don't care too much about being df'd in the sense that they aren't recognized as a JW. What I hated was that I left the JW's, had a new life and they still felt the need to do the whole "we need to stick our nose into your personal life" thing.

FYI - don't be surprised if they don't have a judical hearing. Technically if someone joins a church or military or YMCA or begins to celibrate the holidays and the elders have "evidence" of this, the JW has has Da'd himself and there wouldn't be a need for a hearing.

Anyway, keep your pride and don't let those self-righteous men pull you down.

Hi Mulan:

Don't forget - you can also just ignore them if you want. Don't answer the phone if it's them (do you have caller ID) or the door for them. At least until after the hoidays. Enjoy your Christmas and make them wait until YOU are ready to deal with THEM.

Mulan

Yes, we have Caller ID, but they can block their ID from showing up. My friend whose husband is an elder, has "Private" showing when she calls me. Lots of people here have that feature.

Problem there. Our front door has a window in the top half of the door, with small panes. You can look right into the living room. The chair where I sit, if I'm watching TV, is right in front of that window. I am not going to hide out, just in case they might drop by.

That's perfect. You'll be able to see them as they're banging on the door. You could wave to them or even raise a glass of egg nog in their direction. But don't let them in! They'll get the message

Courts have ruled that "Christmas Trees" are purely secular in nature, which is why they can be put up in public building

Pioneer Courthouse Square in Downtown Portland, Oreg., (dubbed Portland's Living Room) has a tree every year, and has had for 30+ years since the square was built. But the tree is no longer the Christmas Tree... It is simply The Tree. In a corner of the plaza there is a giant menora.

So. You don't have a Christmas Tree, because afterall, you don't celebrate that pagan holiday. You simply decided to bring the sight and smell of the winter outdoors in, and just have .... a tree.

You could just say you are really getting into botany. Coniferous trees most especially.

So sorry to hear your anonymity has been broken.

That's what I find so funny. Marilyn and Dave have never been anonymous and in fact post pictures of family members, trips, apostatafests, etc., but the WTS still hasn't done a damn thing against them. I find it hard to believe that anything will happen during the overseers' visit since nothing has happened in the past few years.

Dave: Hello

Elder 1: I say Dave, is that a Christmas tree in your house?

Dave: Do you masturbate?

Elder 1: Wha?!?!

Dave: Do you masturbate?

Elder 1: Ugh...hmm..uh...

Dave: Ya know... chafe the carrot, choke the bishop, do you say hi to your monster?

Elder 1: I am outraged that you would even feel justified to ask me, an elder in posession of my own vessel, those questions

Dave: And yoooooooooouuuuuuu feel that its absolutely, 100% important that the world know if I have a tree.....a FREAKIN' tree residing in my house? It's not like I'm having sex with it.......or am I?

Elder 1: Why I never (click)

When they did this to Steve and Rachel two years ago, they called to see if they could drop by. I suspect they will do the same this time.

Tell them that the only way they can drop by, is if they come bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Uh oh, we got caught
