  as a born in jw my outlet was always music.

  my parents let me do piano lessons (from another sister) and when i was 14 i lobbied hard enough for a guitar.

  i formed a decent punk/emo type in high school behind my parents back.

  I worked at a collection agency for five years as a skip tracer. I loved doing that job, but I know what you mean by saying that collections is a soul crushing business. If you can't sell in a timely manner, why not seek new business like back child support where collecting will feel worthwhile. In the meantime you can develop yur music career.

  Please check your pms.

  Window Peepers

  so today one of the local elders came around to "check out how you are doing.".

  i didn't really feel like putting up with the interrogation, or the false concern so i decided that i didn't "hear" the doorbell.

  the guy decided he needed to circle my home and peek in the windows to see if i was home or not.

  Sorryto hear that your wife is now an ex-wife. Hidden cameras aren't that expensive anymore Maybe you should consider installing a few. There's your witness to a crime.

  I'm not a woman so I am not worried about that particular aspect of the harassment, but I am getting fed up with the phony concern. This all from the same bunch who read me the riot act when I said I was no longer going to dance to their tune and I was quitting "reaching out". I am one of the ones that as "elder" A said were reprehensible (married a non-jw fifteen years ago), "elder" B said I was not a husband of one wife (jw ex-wife committed adultery and married her new boyfriend twenty years ago), "elder C said no matter how spiritual I tried to be I was only good for field serve us and scrubbing the hall toilets. So basically to Hades with them, and now they are all "concerned" about how I am?

  What about your poor wife? She's living in the same house that this creep elder is peeping in. Give her a way to protect herself iust in case this guy is more disturbed than a nosey elder, and call the police the next time he peeps.

  I'm surprised her mom told her about the cancer diagnosis. My mom refused to tell me what her diagnosis was when she was in the hospital with serious symptoms. I got wind of her hospitalization from "worldly" relatives. My mom was so angry that I'd been informed that she refused to tell anyone what was wrong wih her for fear that it would get back to her df'd kids.

  I've been out and shunned for 25 years, so I find none of this as shocking. Over time I'v come to realize that shunning isn't that difficult for gung ho jws, because they're conditioned to let loved ones and even themselves die over the blood issue.
