PHR-Your dad sounds like a cool guy. But yeah, they don't care about anyone's rights but their own, for the most part. What they don't see is how their irritating behavior totally turns people off to them and anything they have to say. *sigh* They will never get that!

Valerie-"When I first read the letter, my intitial thought was - how dare they use your first name?" Exactly why I knew it was a shepherding call by an elder. I am not listed in the phone book, and if someone had researched my property, the letter would have been addressed to me AND my husband, as both our names are on the deed. No, this is a shepherding call because 3 years have gone by and they want to know if I feel the same way I did when I wrote my letter of da. I also wondered if they had stopped by and found me not at home. Bob help them if they do that! I am about to let these people know, in no uncertain terms, that I have rights too and they will not disrespect them and get away with it!

Peanut-I really believe that this is an elder doing a shepherding call on me, which is allowed. No, I did not go to the memorial. I have not been to a memorial in 23 years! I think that elders are being told to dig through their df, da, inactive files in their congs and piss us all off by contacting us! I plan on pointing out that I know where their kingdom hall is and if I wanted to go there, I would, but they should definitely NOT hold their breath!smiley: wink
