sometimes us 'net' savey dudes tend to get a little lax.
we all know and if we don't, we should, that there are people who read these boards who gather "information".
some of it is used against us to "turn us in", and other wise cause us harm.
i've been careful to not reveal my "true" identity hear, as it is a public forum, however, not careful enough.
my picture, and some desciptions i've used in writing my storiy, and describing my whereabouts, though never specific, have led, i believe, to someone learning where i live exactly, and when i would/wouldn't be home so that an act of crime could be commited against myself.
the time period i refer to is from this post:

its taken this long for me to figure this out, who did it, and how. the specific act, i'll not mention.
the "act" commited against me, happend exactly 24 hours after i left the state. i was far away and gwen had to take care of it and go through the whole ordeal, including the "discovery" of the "act".
it was not a member of the "board" nor am i accusing anyone. i know who it was. i'll take care of that on my own personal level.
my only point here is you must be careful. sometimes in our excitement of "getting out" we forget the "rules of the road", in this case the very basic internet "rules" we all should live by. keep your private information and whereabouts private. maybe you'll be safe from "persecution" from the jw's, but not from acts of violence, even by dubs.
get my point?
