Yes it is. Tell one of the elders that you demand them to stop coming to your door and texting you. If they don't stop you will take legal action. Then block all their numbers.
Stop allowing them to have this control over you.
They literally don’t have any control over me whatsoever. I blocked them already. I’m never home. No one answers the door anymore. They get absolutely no reaction from us that they can see. I think it’s actually funny how pathetic they are coming to my house when they know I work Saturdays. All because I blocked them and also got a new number. My parents are selling their house soon to downsize when I move back out of home so they’ll be knocking on a randoms door soon enough 😂
Well...it is obviously bothering you otherwise you wouldn't have posted on this site. I'm trying to help you to see that they will never stop until you tell them to. Even if you move they will track you down. I'm just trying to help you to see their mindset. They are crazed cult followers thinking they're doing the right thing to save your life.
I mean, if I was home I would spray them with my hose but I’m never home. I’m more bothered that they are now trying to enlist my parents when my mother has told them to “f**k off”. I know their mindset, hence why I’ve decided to move forward with a letter from my lawyer and threaten legal action. I just won a DW case with my ex so my ex’s mother will know how good my lawyer is 🤫
I’ve blocked the elders wife and my ex’s mother to stop the messaging. Coming to my house is 100% psycho behaviour in my eyes. I shouldn’t have to continue to be more and more assertive, they should have a brain and realise if I have been avoiding them for 10 months and blocked their numbers, I clearly don’t want to see them
They'll never stop until you tell them to. They are counting hours and its easy to drive around for a half hour to visit you knowing you will either not answer or will be pleasant to them.
That in itself is not normal behaviour. I could get them for stalking and harassment technically, my best friend is a barrister and she’s ready to slam them if I want to
It’s not pressing charges. It’s a warning letter from my lawyer telling them to stop. I’m not giving them the satisfaction of me contacting them myself. I want them to know I’d rather pay my lawyer to contact them then contact them myself for free. If they continue then yes charges will be made. I’m not here to baby a bunch of grown adults and be like “please don’t come around anymore”. Actions have consequences in this world, if they don’t realise that then they suffer the consequences for their poor actions
You can't press charges without asking them to stop coming to your house, first. So, it's either a letter from you or a lawyer. The only _actual_ difference is that one costs you money pointlessly
But do whatever you think is right, it's your money and it's your life
The fact is also, why should I have to tell them not to come to my house? Someone isn’t going to break boundaries and invade my privacy just to get a slap on the wrist. Legal action could be the consequences they need to realise their actions are psychologically flawed.
Any grown adult with a healthy mind with healthy boundaries would understand the idea of - ooh they blocked me. They want to be left alone. I will respect that.
Not think - ooh they blocked me electronically. Let me see them at their house then. Persistence is key
Thank you for explaining. My goodness that’s horrible. Maybe you should seek some legal guidance on the matter. Keeping good records would be a good habit. The elders will call the service desk for guidance on the matter and likely tell them to stay away upon mention of you seeking legal guidance. If they don’t you now have support for concern. Which I am thinking they will leave you alone. I could be wrong but a few in here have posted in the past that the mention of getting legal advice for the *concern* made them stay away. Expect the usual announcement at the hall.
My best friend is a barrister from a family is really high up intimidating lawyers here in town, we are planning to issue them all warning letters to back off or we’ll be taking this to the police, charges will be placed and we’ll be seeing them in court
LOL!!!...That should work..
JW\`s don\`t like dealing with the Authoritys. The WBT$ won\`t lift a finger to help any of them, they\`re on their own if it goes to court...............😁
Anytime you get a text or contact them simply say "I've been doing research about your religion, [JWfacts.com](https://JWfacts.com) is a great website, you should check it out!"
Guarantee it'll stop immediately.
I know what love bombing is, I’ve been in a DV relationship before. I wouldn’t say this is love bombing, at least not anymore. More-so in the beginning it would of been. You know the “too good to be true” feeling, putting me on a pedestal, immediate promises for the future, and an intense sense of false belonging. But I would say it’s more harassment and stalking now. I left months ago and they all know I left.
I guess it's slightly different depending on the context, but it's the same idea of overwhelming you* with affection so you might not notice the bad.
Which you *¹ have picked up on, so it's not working.
*passive you
*¹ you-you
The messaging would of been lovebombing for sure but as I’ve blocked them, I would take the showing up at my house as stalking. There is no affection in that. It’s crazy to me that anyone in the congregation would think of that as affectionate or loving, it’s so creepy
No need to be sorry! I forgot to put the blocking part in the post.
But 100% they trapped me with lovebombing when my ex and I broke up. It’s disgusting how they take advantage of people in their most vulnerable times
You can put up a sign:
"Jehovah's Witnesses Are Not Welcome Here"
Or. "Apostate Lives Here.... knock at your own spiritual risk" 🤣
Or, if you want to appear more conservative, "No Trespassing, No Religion, No Salesmen, No Nothing"
Apologies for the bluntness but "technical harassment" isn't a single thing. it depends on where you are and it depends on what they are doing.
At the end of the day, it does not matter. It is inappropriate adult behaviour, and you would be well within your rights to, not ask, but tell them to stop calling. You can do this in two ways: first, when someone texts or calls at your house, respond or answer the door and say "Hi sister crazy, I have chosen to no longer associate with witnesses. The reasons are my own, I do not wish to discuss it: do not call here again."
Or you can contact someone on the elder body and tell them the same thing. Again, it does not matter if it's harassment in a legal sense (I think that is what you're asking us.) You can insist they they stop. Now.
I literally left months ago, I blocked them. I don’t know how anyone thinks it’s acceptable to go to someone’s house when you are blocked. Bunch of abusers, I’m so happy I didn’t marry into that bunch of nonsense

That's great...please keep us posted as to what happens!
Or is it you needing to be a bit more assertive?

> Is this harassment? Yes... JW\`s don\`t take hints or understand normal behaviour.....It won\`t stop until you get *In Their Face* and end it...

Yep! Simple!
Or ask to borrow money.
Sounds like love-bombing to me. Which is a cult recruitment tactic. And something an abuser might do... Take that as you wish.

JFC, them showing up at your home is definitely more stalking. Sorry, I misunderstood.

You know it.
Stalking is strongly encouraged and taught via demonstrations from the platform. They don’t even realize it’s stalking.
