If The Elders Wanted To Disfellowship YOU, What Action Would YOU Take? (page 8)

If the elders called, I'll do what's always worked: "... brothers, thank you for your love and attention, I am studying still, and continue to seek Jehovah for guidance, please continue to pray for me as I appear spritually weak also at this time..."

Gozz this is just too funny, but how could it not work? I don't think they are supposed to Df you for being admittedly humble and spiritually weak. I am sure this kind of statement would perplex them. You could further say that you heard about the Awake mag being discontinued on account of the WT wanting to put more emphasis on the bible and you have taken that admonition to heart and continue to pray for biblical direction. ( personally I could not say this with any honestly)

It has been 2 years since I have seen hide nor hair of the elders here--hopefully several more will pass before I am contacted.

If they tell me then they have missed me I could bring out the fact that it has been over 2 years since I have seen them even though the KH is only about a mile from my house.

Where I live the elders come to your door on fishing expeditions. Ask stupid questions. They try and make you think they have something on you when in reality they don't. When you get that letter in the mail then they have something on you. There would be no point in fighting it. So I would take no legal action. I might play some games with them but nothing that would cost more than a few postage stamps.

Well, if I really wanted to stir the pot....I haven't done anything that would warrant a Df-ing, but if they ever tried it on me I have some dirt I could throw at them.

My daughter still has a friend who is in the Org who has been accepting of her not ever becoming a JW. My daughter's friend was a pioneer for about 6 years. Any daughter's friend just got Dfd for doing it with one of the elder's son. Now, this was a few years back and the elder's son just confessed it to the elders here a few weeks ago. He had talked about it to a friend and new girlfriend and somehow was talked into fesssing up. Anyway, this kid was just recently over at Bethel working on a building project, etc.

So what do they do? They call the my daughter's friend who lives in another area now. They meet with her and Df her (and it was a grueling and cruel ordeal). the elder's son gets off scott free without even a public reproof. My daughter's friend calls over to the congo where the guy is and wonders why she is Dfd and he isn't. The elder's told her it was because no one knew about it in this congo and he was repentant. But no one knew about it in her congo either and she was repentant too. So, we have elder's son here who has commited a sin and he didn't get Dfd or publically reproved--maybe I could mention that to the elders if they ever threaten to Df me. What you think?

PS. The guy that got off Dfing also got to take a vacation with an elder an his wife after his "ordeal" of confession. They felt sorry for him--poor guy--being lead astray by some evil woman. a sad but true story.

I avoided getting DF for over 20 years ( came close many times) so that my mother could continue to speak to me. Even so, she chose to shun me off and on. Now she is dead and I don't care what they do.
