Do You Still Get Afraid or Panicky When You Meet Up With A Witness?

So I had a blast shaking hands and exchanging laughs with the elders who were always very friendly and happy to see me.
my sister asked me to help her paint her house one saturday and several witnesses dropped by that day and they kept smiling at me and calling me "Sister so-and-so", even though i'm not. it was funny to see them assume i was one of them... i used to quake in fear of elders and now i felt..evolved.

Afraid? Panicky? No, but I have considered my actions, considering the history the local JW congregation has had with me in the past.
I am neither DF or DA...... but the last contact I had with the local elders was pretty heated.
They are on notice that I ever get wind of my name being mentioned in any public way at their Hall I will sue for every remedy possible under the law. The are also under notice that any of the membership who elect to enter my property are considered trespassers and will be dealt with under the full weight of the law.
I had several of the locals escorted from my property by the Sherrif's Office already.
I hope one of them is dumb enough to approach me in public. They will be facing assault charges if they do. I consider these people a threat to my son and I. The local ones are particularly evil and two-faced......... they are the bunch that stole my son's mother from him and ruined my marriage....Yep, it's personal.
If you act like vermin I will treat you as vermin deserves to be treated.

I never felt afraid or panicky.
My actions toward JWs when running into them has changed over the years. I wonder if anyone has gone through a similiar experience. When I was first Da'd, I would be very confrontational. It really pissed me off that JWs I had known (and helped) for years acted like I didn't exist. So, being the d*ck I am I would go out of my way to say "hello, how are you?" in a somewhat loud way and make them feel uncomfortable. But after a while I realized that I was just being a jerk toward these poor souls who have enough troubles in life and that I didn't need to add stress to their already crappy life. After a while it changed to "I never want to see a JW ever again" and I went to the extreme to avoid them.
Pretty much now a days whenever I see a JW, it's no differnt then seeing someone whom I've lost touch with. If they say "hello" I respond with the same. If they want to chat, I chat. If they don't want to even acknowledge I exist, I return the favor.

2 came to my door the other day. I was polite and took the brochure. I was tempted to not answer but I did want the new brochure to see what it said. I didn't feel panicky and I know most witnesses never make return visits. After all, I have been here almost 2 years now and this is the first time they came to my door. I am not at home on Saturdays, so she would have to come back on a Monday, which is the day she caught me at home.

I am becoming extremely tolerant of JW's because I feel very sorry for the lies that they are brainwashed into believing.
Poor folk!
