I just "outed" myself to two elders last week, but i have a strategy in place to stop their proceeding with a JC.
I have just a FEW friends I regularily associate with who I don't want to be cut off from. Family too.
I am going to try out my list of compelling questions that I am sure will stop the JC process in it's tracks.
Put elders on the complete defensive and get them reeling in wonder whether they really have the right to meet with me.
If it goes as planned I'm planning on producing a "manual" for others to use to defend against the JC process.
