God, am I popular! I had 60 spams for online dating. Did the idiots really think I’d open any of them?
Today is the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. The march was led by Martin L. King, Jr. and over 250,000 people attended. On August 28, 1963, Dr. King stated: Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. I can truly say, this man had a very forgiving heart considering all the things that happened during the Klu Klux Klan era in the South. He was willing to forgive all those people who hated him because of his color.
Well, I must honestly say, this is hard for me to do. I’m sure that my life has not been as difficulty as Dr. King’s, but my heart is not as forgiving.
I drink a lot from the cup of bitterness. I really don’t want to drink from it, but it’s hard not to when I have such miserable people making my life a living hell every day. I guess I don’t have the forgiving spirit Dr. King had. I’m very flawed when it comes to forgiving. I wasn’t always this way, but I’ve learned bitterness from the evil that entered my life five years ago. In some ways, Dr. King was luckier than I. He had a lot of friends who stood by him, and I’m sure that made his life bearable. I, however, have no one I can turn to. No matter who I try to befriend, it turns out bad. The only thing I have left is hate and bitterness toward those who want to destroy me.
I wish Dr. King was still around, maybe we’d have someone who’d listen to us. Someone who’d stand up for us targets. There are no Dr. kings today. Just a lot of psychos who care only about becoming famous.

So, I don’t want to drink from the cup of bitterness, but it helps when I have nothing else.
I have a dream, too. That some day the targeting that is happening to us targets ends.
And I hope that Best Buy goes out of business soon. Best Buy doesn’t deserve to be in business with all the cheating it does to its customers.

Way too old for you Elior. Didn’t you visit my old blog about 3 years ago? I’m sad to see gangstalking going on in the Holy Land.
I know about the bitterness, it really gets me down. Christians are supposed to forgive their enemies and not desire retribution. Christians are supposed to love their enemies because they are sinners like us. I have a hard time doing this. Still, try and get the bitterness out if you can because it leads to physical disease amongst other things. The only way I can even begin to forgive them is to remember they are brainwashed and weak and are not really seeing the big picture or eternal consequences of what they are doing. That man next door needs to be STOPPED however. He lets himself in and does what he wants? Could you booby trap your apartment somehow or block the door? What you go through I never could. I can’t imagine. You said they stopped for awhile. Guess they came back. You need God’s protection at this time in your life. It is the only thing that stops them at all.
I’ve tried blocking it, but it does no good. All the perps have been given keys to my apartment. He’s not the only one who comes into my apartment, but he’s the one I see all the time. He comes out every time I go out. Thanks for your remarks. I know bitterness is not a good thing, and I’m working on not being so bitter.
Did you get my reply? I think the machine ate it. I used to live in a regular apartment and worried about breakins all the time. I live in a detached building but realize I still get a few break ins I get the pop goes the weasel effect with neighbors coming out on cue as well sometimes..
If Jesus had been treated like you I somehow doubt that forgiveness would have been a major plank of his religion.
I don’t know. I’ve read some nasty things that the Romans did to him. How he could remain so loving is beyond me. I know I can’t be loving to all nasty people I run into.
At the end. Most peoples lives are unpleasant at the end. Personally I have some doubts that he was all that loving. It doesn’t really come across if you look at all that he said. I suspect the church did a Disney version of him right from the start.
I don’t know. He wasn’t a saint, but he did some good. And the FBI hounded him non-stop.
Good point. on targetedindividuals site they echo your point, that Jesus was one of the earliest TI’s
I’m not to religious, but all the signs were there for anyone who read about his life.
And I wonder how much of his story has been omitted. You feel there are gaps. A man of sorrows and that is all.
As they’re doing to us now, MLK was followed everywhere by the FBI. That’s how people found out he had affairs, info from the FBI. And I also think they had something to do with his death.
Agreed. With all this minute surveillance it is surprising how many unexplained deaths and “suicides” there are.
Way too many deaths. And no one questions why this is happening. They just read about suicides and deaths and go on without questioning why it is happening.

Thanks, Benjamin.
have a good week-end
You have a good weekend, too. Thanks.
Well said. Every last word.
I’ve been signed up for dating services by perps before too. Probably to make it look like I wanted to cheat on my husband, but I didn’t have any intention or desire to do so. One was on FB, and every time I went to see if I could figure out how to unsubscribe (cause I was new and didn’t know yet) it would say, “Ravenna used ……..(whatever the name of the stupid thing was)” on the side for all my friends to see. I finally found out how to unsubscribe, thankfully. Until then I kept getting advances from guys that wanted to meet me and didn’t answer.
They do that to me on Facebook, too. I pay no attention whatsoever. All those guys are set-ups.
Yeah, for a while I had a Russian friend a couple of years ago. He seemed really nice. One day I asked him how he had heard of me and he said some name. I figured it was the name of some friend he had. I looked it up and found it was a dating service not even related to FB that I had never heard of. I explained to him that I had not heard of it, and I didn’t ever sign up for it, and that sometimes people did that to me. He was nice about it and didn’t try to push the prospect of romance (even when he thought I’d signed up to that stupid service) I had him on my list for some time after that still, since he’d always just been nice, and there was no real reason to unfriend him. Eventually I did, just because I couldn’t talk to him without using Google translate. I feel no bitterness toward him He was a real gentleman.
Someone probably signed you up for the service. Just one of the fabulous things they do to us.
I’m sure they did, and the guy I was befriended by was probably an innocent participant of the club, who thought I was looking for a potential partner, and meant no harm. My memories of the conversations we had about how people from all parts of the world should be able to live in peace and such things, will always make me regard him fondly. If I had not been blessed with my nice husband, I probably would have gone for him. He was sweet.
Well, sometimes some things are not meant to be, but who knows what will happen in your life?
Yes, true. I’ll say the same to you. You just never know when things could get better.
ok this is a long shot, but I’m being targeted in israel for over 6 years, I’m 25
how old are you? any chance of trying to start something romantic?
you know we have no chance with outsiders.. settle for a targeted jew 😀
Well, you’re younger than I am. And you’ve been a target for 6 years. That means you became a target at 19. That’s terrible. Maybe some other woman would like to have a relationship with you. So is anyone interested? Send him a note.
