  dedicated to my friendly neighborhood stalker

  one of my most
  valued possessions
  is my PRIVACY

  it is a treasure
  a priceless
  commodity.
  
  but
  for every treasure
  
  comes a THIEF
  with a glint in his (or her)
  greedy little eye.

  every valued
  possession
  
  has itz
  swindler
  its extortionist
  its robber
  
  who smiles at you sweetly
  while they
  strip away
  your hard-earned
  possessions.
  
  even kicking you while you are down.
  ripping your last and only shirt
  clean off your back.
  
  they could get their own
  but no, they'd rather
  have yours.
  
  a robber takes money
  from strangers.
  
  a much more nefarious
  creature
  knowingly
  takes the last thing of value
  from her so-called friend.
  
  her manipulations
  make her
  a kleptomaniac
  of sorts
  
  i look at her
  and see a thief.
  
  i've lost respect.
  
  i hope it was worth it to her
  becuz as of this moment
  there is something of far greater value
  that will never be hers
  
  my trust.

  ever encounter someone you think would make a great jahobawitness cuz they just know how to show ZERO respect for other peoples boundaries, spiritually, emotionally, psychologically?
  
  i mean really. even witnesses have a "do not call" clause. for christ's sake.

  stalkers are even lower than dubs on my food chain.

  My mental health study at the moment leads me to think that jwism produces and attracts people of various personality disorders - unlike other major illness where boundaries may not be realised, the PDs seen with jw notions promote recalcitrance to the idea of boundaries for the 'unworthy' - seen by such extreme ideas like picking your post-armageddon residence.

  The personality disorders are various, and range from B.P.D. (borderline) with an underlying fear of abandonment, to anti-social whereby others are shit and plainly unworthy of good things.

  Who knows, one day there might be government funded therapy ready in place for jwism.

  Your premise that, "My mental health study at the moment leads me to think that jwism produces and attracts people of various personality disorders" is proven beyond question in my mind in Hoffer's "The True Believer."

  It's a short little work, getting to the heart of the matter very quickly. Try it. You'll like it.

  DoNotCall, Welcome to the board.

  Despite my apparent openness to many on this board, I need my privacy 

  as well. I understand and appreciate where you are coming from.

  There is nothing worse than a friend violating trust. 

  I am a person who once my trust is lost, rarely gives it back. 

  Trust is the key to so many good things in life.

  I hope you will be able to replace your so-called friend with 

  someone of true value.

  Richard, who managed to screw up the formatting of this post!

  Thank you each for your insightful comments
  and understanding.
  
  The references to the mental state (PD) of
  such an individual is unimpeachable IMO.
  
  Trying to reason with my stalker
  about respecting my boundaries
  is like trying to reason with a rapist.
  
  "It wouldn't be rape
  if you would just GIVE IN!"
  said the sociopath to the prey.
  
  Or was it the spider to the fly?
