    This is just another reason # 3,169 why i'm not a JW

    I'm sure you have at least twice that many reasons. LOL!

    Glad you've moved on.

    Ignore her.

    If it doesn't work, see Scully's post again.

    I would simply tell her not to call you any longer, and if she continues you will call the police. That will stop her, you know can't bring reproach on Jeh. Stupid cult.

    I suppose you're right lol!

    I've thought about telling her i'd call the police. I wonder if she thinks Jehovah wouldn't allow that to happen?

    Over the past few years my husband and I began to notice how much crazy behavior is bred into Jw's. Like you were saying about your ex how she can go out and do something illegal ,but feel as long as she is going to meetings all is well .

    Time and again we saw people in our hall that would just be awful to one another gossip back bite ect. ,but thought all was washed clean as long as they went to meetings and FS.

    I pointed out to my husband that many times pioneers were those that felt guilty about something in their lives and were trying to win approval by working their way through more hours.

    True spiriuality , real brotherly love is not being cultivated by JW and thus means they are failing to meet the identifiying mark of true religion they so like to brag about.

    R.F. - don't let her get to you, you are who you are. You don't have to play the JW fantasy game anymore. She just doing her JW job in trying to prove you to be less than she is just because of a religion cult.

    (((((((((((((((((((((((R.F.)))))))))))))))))))))) Here's a big cyber hug for ya!

    It sounds like she needs professional help. It is strange how JW's think that you will see it their way if they engage in insane behaviors. She sounds desperate.

    I hate to say it, but Scully's right. You would be doing her a favor in showing her that she cannot get away with her modus operandus in the real world.

    troubled mind:

    I am in total agreement with you about how if they go to all their meetings, etc. all is 'well' no matter what wrong they do. Sadly, it is this attitude that makes them believe they can defraud their brother and engage in whatever other wrongdoing they feel like. They engage in a great deal of self-deception and they believe they are unaccountble for anything. They feel that 'Adamic death' will cover them if they die. The idiot legalistic religion leads them to believe if they do this and that they are 'covered'. They think the 'other' guy has to forgive them no matter what they did. This is a very dangerous religion to belong to if somebody is a Christ-like person who is trying to do things according to the scriptures.

    I suspect that some of them don't even believe any of it and don't fear the 'true god' or even believe in him or how else could they do what they do??? The joke is on the other guy who is being victimized. What a charade.

    I couldn't agree more with the bolded statement. I am trying to give a peaceful solution the the problem, but she's pushing me to the limit. She makes the claim that i'm isolating myself. That's faulty reasoning from one scripture taken in Proverbs. Her interpretation is that since i'm not talking to her, that i'm isolating myself from all humanity. I'm far from isolating myself.

    The latter statement goes back to JW indoctrination and their supposed superiority over those not following the Watchtower Educational Program. Many Dubs don't realize that people have personal boundaries, yet they attempt to cross them at every opportunity because they feel they have that right.

    hiya RF!

    just another reason # 3,169 why i'm not a JW

    wellllll.....like myself, MENTALLY you are not a JW, meaning you no longer are allowing your mind to be swayed by the crap spewing from the "toxic waste facility known as the WTBTS" (thanks madame Q, I think that is the quote of the week for JWD, maybe the month or year....)

    buuuuutttt...you are still OFFICIALLY a JW in "good standing", even still a reg pio and MS....until your lazy ass BOE finally gets around to deleting you or finally accepting your resignation (has that happened yet????)

    Just have to yank your chain a bit. I understood what you meant of course. Your ex is a stalker, I agree with Scully on that one. I had a stalker sister in my old congo until the first of the year...about the time I moved from that hell hole congo to where I am now. Had she continued I would have gotten a restraining order (despite Borg directives to the contrary), but apparently the word I put out through mutual JW friends seems to have done the trick. No more stalker girl. I did not want to hurt her, just want her crazy ass self to stop.

    Wishing you well on your continued fade and eventual deletion of privileges and hope your mom is doing well.
