ok.............. maybe its time to close the post, this thread was not a question I had about dealing with something. I was just wondering if others sometimes felt like turning in the hypocrites that have sat and judged them..........
Turning in a FORMER friend

Sally,
That is how I read it. Sorry if I have offended.
I was just trying to help. Would I do that? No I wouldnt. For the mentioned reasons.
My opinion is not a reflection on you or your meaning. I am so sorry for not being clear on that.

In that light Sally...Yes I have thought about turning in not friends but Elders and ones who have positions of authority for things they condemn but do themselves.

I don't consider turning them in now. (way past the hurt)
But at one time I did. When the hurt was felt.
I guess the opine I gave is given at a point in hindsight from my perspective.
I did feel alot different when the hurt was new.

I don't think you guys are getting where Sally and I are coming from..
(I saw this post for the first time)
We have JWs who are putting on the face of being a good christian right now.. act all high and mighty as if their you know what doesn't stink.. then gossip to a ton of other JWs who are the same.. then they all come here and read what we are saying and go to other JWs to tell them all about how bad Sassy and Sally are and have even given out our phone numbers (before they were changed) to try and have other JWs call us to harrass us.... yet they have done and are doing disfellowshippable acts but slip it under the rug..
You see it isn't that we can't get over the hurt but they won't leave us alone and act like they are perfect JWs when in fact they are no better than we are.. in fact perhaps worse because at least we are not hypocritical...
We just want them to mind their own business.. if this didn't keep happening.. if they didn't keep getting their nose in our business when they should be worrying about their own.. THAT is why we "FEEL" like turning them in...
not that we will..
although if they push me too far I will... I'm sick and tired of the crap that they keep sending my way.. I want to be left alone. If they push me too far... I will expose them.. because maybe then they will have their own stresses to deal with and finally focus on something else but snooping on our business.

I ditto Little witches comments.. when she said.
I don't consider turning them in now. (way past the hurt)
But at one time I did. When the hurt was felt."
There was a time when the hurt was new that I did wish to line them all up and shoot them all down with a machine gun. I've moved on now and only want to tantalize them by whipping them with a "wet noodle"..

The people we are speaking of will follow us around from now till "Armeggedon" and we know how fast that is coming..
They don't give up because they live on gossip.. especially gossip that they can find online (like at these OH MY apostate sites).. then they can ICQ and yahoo and MSN back and forth to each other about how horrendous we are..
it is current.. and if you ask us what they are up to a year from now, it will be current then too..
I know.. I've seen these witches (no offense to you LW) gossip and talk about Simplesally now for two years.. it never gets old to them..
so how do you move past something that stays current forever.. stays in your face forever

Sassy,
after reading your post carefully, i believe that i would do just as u are thinking. If the harassment continues, find a way to stop it. Seems to me these people are really playing with fire, and u know what happens when u do that.
This is not a matter of putting behind things in the past, this is ongoing and current.

sally,
To get back to your question :), YES, I have felt the same way! Here's an example.
About two years ago, I walked into one of the local pubs. There sat two local MS, liquored. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon. They called over and asked me to sit with them (after 25 years of shunning me, I guess it was okay to acknowledge me since they were DRUNK).
They were oh so nice and acted as if we had just spoken recently. Well, I took the bull by the horns, and said "Why are you guys talking to me, you know I am DF? Can't you get in trouble for this?" "Ah, don't worry about it, we're just having a friendly drink, nothing wrong with that."
Now, one of these guys has had a reputation for being a womanizer for years, patting sistahs on the *ss, making suggestive comments. He also likes his booze. I was tempted to turn him in since I don't like him AT ALL. But I thought, oh well, he's nothing to me, who gives a shyte?
Lo and behold, two years later. His wife of 30 years finally left him, he's lost his lucrative job and is living w/ his parents (at age 50+). Kharma came back and bit him on the *ss.
Sally, and you too, Sassy, it's just sickening what they are doing, and I'm sorry you are going through this.
As far as them calling your house, etc., well, there's legal remedies for that. And gossip, well, sticks and stones is all I say ... I've had a lot of that myself, no one is listening to their malicious BS except other witnesses. And their opinion matters not to me.
THEY WILL GET THEIRS!

After reading through all of these posts... and agreeing that it is best to not bother with 'outing' someone...
...but then reading that one is being harrassed... well, I feel that perhaps a 'warning shot over the bow', might be in order.
An anonymous letter perhaps... warning that if one is not left alone that legal action - lawyers and such - will be taken.
After all, harrassment can be handled in the courts, I believe.
Then, if the nonsense does not stop, perhaps a legal document - notarized - with a court appearance date on it - handed to them by a process server.
Just my .02 worth.
