    Bill:
    I would take it seriously, but not become paranoid. It's probably just some JW wacko trying to scare you. Nevertheless, its illegal to make such terroristic threats. It doesn't hurt to be on guard, but don't give these morons the satisfaction of ruining your life.

    I assume the e-mail is not traceable. If by any remote chance it is, NAIL 'EM!!!

    Call the local police and then the FBI must be some kind of law about threatening people on the internet. Let them find em, if its a wacko being funny, he/she will suddenly become unfunny when the authorities drive up and have a conversation with them.

    I would.

    99.998% of JWs are harmless, but it only takes one with delusions.

    One the other hand, I understand that there are shareholders of the Watchtower Corporation who are not JWs and are interested... truly interested... only in the money. You and the growing movement you represent are a genuine threat to their source of revenue.

    I could be wrong, but it's better to be safe than sorry. For your kids, if not for yourself.

    Like Ros said, it's probably just some juvenile nut with nothing better to do. Don't let these morons screw with your head Bill.

    At the same time, you have to protect yourself and those you care about. If I were you Bill, I'd report every crank call and nuisance email you get! if nothing else it'll help your local authorities build a 'profile'.

    Take care.

    I'd report it, though it probably isn't anything. I wouldn't lose sleep over it, but reporting it sure couldn't hurt....take care of yourself.

    Just adding my voice, take all threats seriously and take necessary precautions. I would definitely report it to the police.

    Give it some regard Bill even though it may be nothing. Oh and if you need to hole up for a while I've got a place where no mere mortal can find you. E-mail always open.

    Hi SL,

    I concur with the rest: take it very seriously. And take any appropriate action.
