    Hi all,

    Was about 8:30 last night and the phone rang....it was an elder from my old congo he wanted to come over and i said "why" and he goes we want to know what we can do to help you spiritually. In which i replied "things havnt changed for me i still feel the same way, there are things i dont believe in and never will and im not going to be one of those hypocrites sitting there pretending i believe,

    A bit of background info i sent my D\A letter off prob bout 7 months ago now, they just disregarded it thinking i was doing it to get back at my dad!.So he asked me last night after 7 months if i wanted them to go through with the D\A letter...i was like WTF. I just replied well like i said there are things i dont agree and believe in.

    He replied "Ok well we want to respect your wishes and we dont want to be a burden on you and you have to respect your fiances wishes as well, in which i said thanks for calling see ya later.

    What the hell was all that about?

    What it probably means is that the circuit overseer is coming soon and they needed to show that they were making their required annual calls on df'ed and da'd persons.

    Sounds like the, Let's be sweet and show her how reasonable we really are!" tactic. It has been said that all is fair in love and war. The Nit-witnesses believe a similar concept, "We can lie and use any means to fool someone into being with us, because we love them and know what is best for them." Be very careful.

    I didn't know Elders made visits to former members who D/A. I didn't D/A, but I made it clear that they would never see me in the Kingdom Hall ever again and I have yet to see an elder make an attempt to visit with me. Five years and counting.

    It must be nice to be thought of...
