Well, not surprised, I have been telling them and others who ask that the org is hugely corrupt, apostate, blasphemers, hypocrites etc. Maybe because I told someone about the UN thing and she may have told someone else, or maybe they're just spring-cleaning. At any rate they(2 elders ) came round unannounced and beat about the bush in a pitiful way.I put them out of their misery eventually, by telling them that in no way did I consider myself a JW, nor did I believe the GB were God's mouthpiece.I said a lot more besides, I re-informed one, informed the other all about the UN thing and offered him proof - no - he didn't want to see. I repeatedly asked them to tell me what I had done wrong scripturally, nothing forthcoming.Still no answer to my request for Biblical proof of a neccessity for a man-made religious organisation either.
Sneaky elder said I could just make things easier by da' ing in writing, as they keep the records and this would mean they would no longer keep them. I said they had to have my annually renewed signature in order to keep the info so they shouldn't be keeping them anyway. ( To be honest, I wasn't 100% sure if that's the case in uk, but I said it with such force and authority that he went for it anyway)
I am fortunate, I can shrug off the shunning, I know its not the same for most.
I am satisfied that I tore them to shreds for over 2 hours. ( Not the first time ) I know it won't make any difference, but it made me feel better
I breezily told them to ring and tell me when the announcement is made, adding that if the line's engaged they should leave a message.Bye!
I don't think I'll bother to ring round any jw's to say 'goodbye' they weren't my friends anyway, so no loss.
My husband told the elders it was their loss, not mine. Good-o!
