Well, Roamer...I haven't accepted any calls or answered the door when the Elders have come here.I don't want any fancy confrontations or feelings that I "owe" them anything any longer.
For months, no one paid the least bit of attention to me, even when I had told the PO in June that I had just undergone the worst six months of my life. His reply was "oh, I'm sorry to hear that" .Period. So when I began to look into some issues I was having a problem with, and discovered WHY so many things were the way they were, I just decided to make a clean break.
I didn't care to discuss it. So NOW they're on the phone and banging on the door, AFTER I have told them point blank that I want to be left alone. Strange, the way their minds work.
The replies I HAVE had, dealt with the idea, now where will you go? What other religion IS there?
And Rational put some great thoughts together on this a few month ago on here.
The other thought that ones get all hung up with, is about God dealing with people today through an organization (Jesus said HE would be with us until the conclusion of things)no mention of a "governing Body" at all as such, and the idea that the Faithful and Discreet slave is (supposedly) NOW browbeating the "domestics" into thinking that the domestics are somehow at fault for the Slave not fulfilling HIS duties as expected.
Other than that, I don't know how much impact my letter had, but I gave it my best (parting) shot!
