  Getting ready to do battle

  by kenpodragon in

  it was a dark night, i could not hear anything out side.

  which was weird as i normally hear at least a cricket or two.

  my wife was sleeping next to me, no doubt having a dream she would never tell me about later.

  kenpodragon...
  
  You give really good..
  
  illustration. Ya know dat?!
  
  Thanks eh.
  
  Your thread title enticed me due to *battles* in my own life.
  
  Your story illustrates well the difference between aggression vs. assertion.
  
  Aggression, the killer instinct, is a weakness. From either side. It can also be an incredible energy waster (in general). It drains valuable resources simply to fuel counter-aggression.
  
  Assertiveness, on the other hand, is not destructive. It is more powerful in enabling you to achieve your intended goal. It is acting/resolving rather than reacting.
  
  Turning the light on was assertive.
  
  Well done, grasshopper.

  Leggo my ego?

  by Introspection in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is for those who are familiar with eastern thought.

  now no doubt we are familiar with the idea of no-self, or that the ego is not real and what have you.

  but there is the idea that in order to give up the ego, you have to develop one first.

  Interesting.
  
  So would the terms "self" and "ego" be synonymous for this theory?
  Or how would each be defined?

  question about free speech and ex-witnesses

  by ballistic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a while ago, there was some yacking about free speech on this web site.... i was thinking how despite recent events, it's amazing that a group of people with such different reasons for leaving their past behind, now with differing religious views and feelings on life and the world, men and women, young and old, people from different nations having much more contact than they ever did in the org, can actually form such a close community.. some people say, their goal is not to bring the org down but to see molesters disfellowshipped and brought to justice.

  can i then put it this way.... some people are hoping and praying (rightfully) that the org does to these sickos what was once done to many of us.

  (note the strange irony of those wicked people un-challenged and those summarilly dismissed).. does that mean that on a free-speech web site, the perverts would then be allowed to join, post and air their views, if not take over the forum when numbers reach the proportion that could be expected?.

  Survival of the sickest?

  I think the person knowingly exercising/abusing their freedoms/rights
  (speech or otherwise) in a way that is harmful to others*deserves* whatever "attacks" they incite.
  
  Attacking people for using it, is sick.
  Doing nothing about those abusing it, is equally sick.

  And so we enter the world of
  "is freedom of speech a right or a privilege"?
  What constitutes an abuse of this right/privilege?
  Who defines use vs. abuse?
  Are there NO limits?
  What constitutes harmful?
  
  Freedom of speech is wonderful indeed.
  
  IMO.

  edited to say - Nicely summarized pettygrudger. (Sorry, I posted this before I saw your 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?

  I take comfort in knowing that even if such an abomination of a human posted here
  their true nature would eventually expose itself and the board naturally "takes care of" posters like that.

  The Society is Loving all this Fighting

  2. friends

  you know they read this.

  you know they love it when we fight.

  you know we feed directly into their twisted logic that they have love and we dont....when we fight and hurt each other its like turning on all the lights during a blitz...the enemy can see where you are and can destroy you.

  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.
