    Brummie - yep! Certainly a lot more goes on here that some houses! We hid our Christmas tree from him over Christmas and had to keep our bedroom curtains drawn for ten days over the holidays. Then, since we wanted to keep the tree, a live one in a pot, we've had to hide that in the garden from him!

    The kids have to keep their 'Harry Potter' books and DVDS and CDs in a cupboard.

    Perhaps when we're well and truly sick of 'fading' we can arrange something, like leave JWD forum on the computer for him to see! If that doesn't get him falling off his ladder....

    Gill, might it not be time to get a new non-JW window cleaner? We have gradually switched out any secular business dealings we have to non-JW individuals.

    It reminds me of the old JW d2d days. 2 brothers had knocked at a door and no one seemed to be home. One brother leaned over to look through the window in the door just as the homeowner opened the door. The brother fell into the house, splat on the floor. That was hard to explain.

    One day 2 brothers came to a bible student's house found no one home but decided to go around to the back door and peer in. A neighbor called the police who pulled up into the driveway and jumped out guns drawn thinking they were stopping a break-in in progress. Both elders had a lot of explaining to do and I'm sure had to go home for clean underwear.

    Similar story, 2 elders were "checking up" on an inactive JW, found no one home, and decided to peer into the windows to see if they could "find" something incriminating. A neighbor called the police...see story above.

    Similar story, 2 elders checking up on inactive JW (with non-JW husband), who came home and found brothers peering through back window, standing on a trash can. Did I say this non-JW husband was 'packing'? Clean underwear again?

    HAHAHAHA I'm sorry Gill I'm not laughing at you I'm laughin at the fact that elder would've probably peeped getting his rocks off until he fell off the ladder. How hilarious! that would've been a sight.

    Well to show you things ain't always that bad.....guess what? I might be getting fired for omitting an arrest I recieved for driving with an expired tag and not paying a fine for driving with no insurance. You see things can get worse than being "found out"....If I do get canned I'm getting out of Georgia!!!!

    Gill, I don't mean to hijack this thread.....

    prone to getting beaten by her father with his walking stick if she misbehaves. Apparantly he does the same to her mother.

    ...but is there nothing that can be done for this poor girl to get her out of this abusive situation? Is there some way she can be helped? Would she visit us here in cyberspace for some encouragement to get out? I got nauseous (yes, literally) when I read that. No one deserves that kind of treatment!

    mouthy - The 'up to no good' was meant in a nice way. You surprise m though as I assumed you were telling me off earlier on, in a nice way of course, for being too liberal!

    Blondie and Ozzie - absolutely, the Elder window cleaner MUST go, but this has been omitted as hubby and me are both still big chickens and, because we've been fading we've avoided too much contact other than handing over the cash! Pair of mooses we are!

    PrettyRed - I think you're winning on the 'having one HELL of a week score!'

    Rebel8 - I couldn't agree with you more. We know her father from a long time ago. The most over bearing, obnoxious, bigotted oaf I've personally ever met. I feel very sorry for this girl. She didn't want to pioneer, she was forced out of her education and is bullied by her parents, but her father in particular. I was shocked myself to hear that her mother is also hit by her father. He doesn't hit her brothers because he'd probably get one back.

    The reason I don't feel hopeful of her leaving 'the troof' is that members of her family, a lot of them, have been DF'd for all sorts of 'wrong doing' and regularly go back to dubland. Her whole family are JWs either in, going out or on their way back again. I hear what's happening at her home from my son and worry about directly broaching the subject of JWD with her, though my son is being coached on what to say. To be honest I despair of her situation. She really needs to leave home. But you know the JW opinion on that! And she is naturally afraid!
