I plan on telling them , as Sgt. Shultz would say, "N O T H I N G "...............I plan on saying, "Sorry, but I'm not answering any questions. Period."
I have been out for 25yrs.
There will always be someone who will try to corner you.
Recently my Dad (elder) tried to corner me and so did one of my sisters. I simply refused to discuss it. My sister just called me a coward and misc other names. My Dad got frustrated and kept trying to force my into conversation (this was over the phone) I just kept to my guns and repeated "How I feel about it all is personal, I understand how you might feel, but it's this is not up for discussion" I would then change the subject until he was worn out. The problem with those who contact you is they are trying to make sure they have a clear conscience. I think it is purely done out of their own self interest in making sure they gain "the prize". So they look good and have no loose ends for anyone else in the org to pick at. My Mother another time asked if I ever got baptised. !!??!! I was insulted they didn't remember. I just threw it back on her asking if she remembered whether I did or not, after all I would have been living in their house at the time as I would of been a minor and besides she had told me previously that I was never a "good witness" after I moved out. Once again, this just drove her to distraction and she kept talking in circles trying to get some sort of statement out of me.
So, from my experience, your best bet is to say NOTHING! It does seem to drive the witnesses nuts if they cannot percieve you along with everything/everybody in black and white. Gives me a great deal of satisfaction when I see they cannot judge me.
I wouldn't hide or avoid them, just be unapproachable and private. You have every right to simply walk away and have peace. It's up to you to maintain that peace. An don't say Sorry that comes across as weak and an opportunity to dig and poke more at you.
Many Blessings! RedWitch
