i am not refering to the elders staking out a house to see if you're in there alone with another person who isn't your mate.. .
i am talking about 'regular stalkers' who stalk you for the obsessive psychological reason of needing to be near you physically.. ever been followed?.
ever had the feeling someone was looking through your windows?.
I've still got an old letter from a woman who was absolutely convinced we were getting married... even though I had only met her once and only talked for about 15 seconds.
Jebus Cripes, elsewhere. I've apologized over and over for that! Can't you just LET IT GO????!!!! Gah!
well, it's late.
i need to go to sleep, got home from work, but i thought i started a newbie thread why not a thread for those who have been on the board a long time , or for awhile now ?
so, lay it on me, what are your concerns for jwd ?
They share an account, and nearly always remember to sign their posts so we know who is talking. It seems to work. They've always been perfectly up-front about this.
i came across this on microfilm a few years ago.
the quality is not the best, but it is still perfectly legible.

Ha! That's great! I wonder what the writer thought when he was interviewing the "judge?"
we haven't talked in 2 years, but i only email them smart little morsels about the gb etc that i get from you guys, you know, since i'm already not a fit associate why not try to educate them?!?!?!
it's not necessary to read my whole letter to get to the point--his weak but kindly short response (that i waited for 4 days to get) where he spends most of his sentences explaining himself, and i hung on his every word, and i wrote back about what we've been doing, and 2 weeks have gone by and he's not responded to that.
.and i check my email 10 times a day to see if he wrote back and nothing and i wonder.
ugh. I'm sorry pio.spit. What makes me furious is JW parents who pull out that martyr card: "You have no idea what it's doing to us!" Whatever. My mother told me that she was suicidal over my inactivity. This was when I was still mostly active and still a believer!!! She also blamed her anorexia on me "not serving Jehovah." Whatever.
And yet in spite of that, I just can't make myself cut ties with them. It still makes me sad and angry that they just can't relate to me outside of their little JW prison.
my daughter shannon is 20 weeks pregnant.
the placenta is pulling loose and she has some bleeding.
the doc seems confidant that both she and the baby will be fine.she found out this week that it is a boy.
I hope she and the kiddo both turn out A-ok.

Thank you for making your comments available, Barbra. It's tremendously appreciated.
what i did was totally out of character for me.
i had a sharp pare of scissors in my hand and i was just so angry.
before i knew what happened i had thrust them forward... over and over... once i finally stopped i just couldn't believe the mess everywhere.
Say it ain't so!!! No!!! Why'd ya do it Else? WHY???
hi, everyone ---.
claire asked me to let the board know that ian is back in the hospital and expected to be there for about a week.. those of you who have been following the weekly vigil thread know that his cmv has returned.
the virus is not responding adequately to the tablets, so ian needs to be medicated intravenously.. please keep ian and claire in your prayers.. marjorie.
Sending good thoughts and well-wishes your way, Ian and Claire.
i told him that i have no intention of leaving.... he told me that i was like "a dog returning to its vomit"... .
I'm sorry cognac. I can't imagine having to deal with that in your own house. Did I see you say that you had only been married a short time? :(
i guess it's about time i write my story.
i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.
i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.
TJ, I am so glad you and your brother and sisters have all made your way out of that torture. I hope you all can find joy and safety.
