i'll rephrase that so not to appear so us-centric.

the last few years have been very low key.

I ran them off !

the witnesses came to my complex today, this time it was two very good looking women.

i walked up to them and calmly said that this is the second warning that they were trespassing on my property and that no jehovah's witnesses are aloud on this property knocking on doors.

i have a tenant who is a jw and this is fine with me and they are aloud to come and visit her but i do not allow them to bother my tenants as they all prefer they stay away anyways.

:::Threatening to have them arrested was unnecessary.

So what DO you do when someone (or some organization) repeatedly violates your request to not trespass on your property? Bake them cookies and write them a note on scented stationery?

So your chief argument is that all your name-calling, slurs and ASSumptions about his character were simply presenting a dissenting view?

*shrug8

I suppose the ASSumption could be made that one of "dissenter" is a hysterical, emotional female who is experiencing transference to such a degree that she can't separate reality from what happened to her once upon a time.

And the ASSumption could also be make that the other "dissenter" is a self-righteous, judgmental ex-elder who is feeling the pain of losing his personal power after leaving the congregation, so must invent abuses so he can lord it over his inferiors and counsel them on the proper way to behave under every circumstance...

Yes, those ASSumptions COULD be made... nah, nevermind, I wouldn't want to be accused of being a self-stroking, egotistical, macho, sadistic, rude, classless, self-flattering, boasting, bad ass, tough guy, power-tripping redneck madwoman.

Twisting, twisting, twisting. I'll bet you made a damn good elder. Old Flame's commentary here on this discussion board is more pointed than what actually happened. He stated (quite clearly,) that he "I walked up to them and calmly said that this is the second warning that they were trespassing on my property and that no Jehovah's Witnesses are aloud on this property knocking on doors. I have a tenant who is a JW and this is fine with me and they are aloud to come and visit her but I do not allow them to bother my tenants as they all prefer they stay away anyways. My tenants love me for the fact I chase them off. LOL But I told them next time I was just going to call the police and have them arrested."

"LOL" is clearly an aside to this board regarding his tenants being protected from evangelizers. "Chase them off" is clearly a figure of speech, since he stated specifically that he "walked up to them and calmly said..." But you seem to want to deliberately twist his words to make him look like an asshole, something that he was not doing at all. Makes me wonder how many judicial committees you entered with preconceived notions of some poor sister's guilt, then proceeded to take her comments deliberately out of context so you could nail her to the wall for some reason only known to yourself?

But go ahead, continue to misrepresent and twist away, you obviously have some kind of agenda regarding Old Flame and his constitutional right to calmly and legally protect his property from fundamentalists peddling pamphlets regarding the end of the world and the destruction of all who are part of it, (including the tenants of his property.)

Old Flame said that the JWs have repeatedly come to the complex. The first time, he told the brothers not to return. They subsequently (as reported to him by tenants) have come by when his vehicle is not there. Then they sent two sisters. (Perhaps thinking that would help them circumvent trespassing laws?) Instead of just directly calling the police and letting them arrest the cargroup for trespassing, he calmly walked over and told them (once again,) they would not be allowed on his property. He also informed them that next time he would call the police and "have them arrested."

Due to the actionable nature of violating trespassing laws, this comment "Next time I'll call the police," caused them fear. Why? Because they knew they were breaking the law. They also knew that this particular violation of law is an offense for which they could be arrested. He was simply stating what would happen next time. In fact, Old Flame was being kind, due to the fact that they knew it was trespassing, and he gave them another pass by saying "next time..."

Then he was amused at their reaction, and came on this board to crack a joke about feeling "bad."

Subsequently, YOU came on here and ASSumed he was on a "power trip," was being a "tough guy," is 'patting himself on the back,' is "coming across macho and sadistic-like," is "bad-ass" and "big man," again accused him of being on a "power trip," accused him of being on a "self-stroking, egotistical power trip," (there's that "power trip" ASSumption again, huh?) is "very rude," and acting like a "redneck," is a "fine example of classnessless," called him a "little big man," is putting on an "ego act," another comment about "self-stroking," insinuated that he gets "thrills" from scaring JW ladies, "took pleasure" in scaring them, accuse him of "self-flattery" and "boasting," is on an "ego trip" (this is getting tedious, isn't it?) and now you claim he "buried himself."

Have I got that right? Seems to me that you got hysterical about him exercising his rights as a citizen, then being amused when the sisters realized that they were indeed on the wrong side of the law.

The rest of it is just YOUR unsubstantiated ASSumptions about his demeanor, emotions and thoughts regarding their reaction.

:::A couple of us just showed you where.

So I take it you're going with the WT tactic of "If I misrepresent this enough times, someone will accept it as true"?

It has always been "pagan" for the JWs to throw the bouquet. Ring = not pagan, cake = not pagan, attendants = not pagan, bouquet tossing = pagan, toasting = pagan. Stupid, huh?

Maybe "some have a problem with this" because "some" are new here, refuse to take into account any further clarification, don't know the character of the man and are making huge ASSumptions.

Quandry knows she's in the wrong and being hysterical, that's why she's resorted to attacking OldFlame with the "get a dictionary" standby insult. Quandry, I've got one for you: Why don't you get out YOUR dictionary and look up "ad hominem."

Good on ya OldFlame. There's absolutely not a thing wrong with firmly and respectfully telling JWs that they are trespassing and they do not have your permission to proselytize your private complex. They should know by now that trespassing is actionable, but there's no reason to refrain from reminding them. :) They were probably scared because they already knew you would be well within your rights to call the police.
