reported for harassment

What makes this abuse

Abuse isn’t only physical. It’s also patterns of behavior that violate your boundaries, wear down your sense of safety, and ignore your autonomy. What you described fits several recognized forms of emotional and psychological abuse.

---

1. Boundary violation

You told Jack clearly:

• “Leave me alone.”
• “I don’t want interaction.”
• “You’re on ignore.”


A healthy person respects that.

An abusive person pushes past it, keeps messaging, keeps inserting themselves, keeps trying to pull you into conversations you don’t want.

That’s not “sharing the Bible.”
That’s ignoring your autonomy.

---

2. Repetition that becomes harassment

You said he repeats the same things for months.

When someone:

• keeps contacting you after you’ve asked them not to
• repeats the same religious warnings or messages
• tries to pull you into the same argument over and over


That’s not “conversation.”
That’s harassment.

Harassment is a form of abuse.

---

3. Spiritual pressure / spiritual manipulation

When someone uses:

• scripture
• warnings
• fear
• “I’m just sharing the Bible”
• “you need to listen”


as a way to override your boundaries, that becomes spiritual abuse.

Spiritual abuse is when someone uses religious language or authority to:

• pressure
• guilt
• intimidate
• control
• or force engagement


You’re describing exactly that.

---

4. Dismissing your feelings

You said he “blows it off” every time.

Abusers often:

• minimize
• deflect
• pretend they didn’t do anything
• act innocent
• make you feel unreasonable for wanting space


That’s emotional invalidation, and it’s abusive.

---

5. Making you question yourself

You said:

• “I just need you to leave me alone.”
• “How hard is that?”
• “You don’t know how to leave people alone.”


When someone repeatedly violates your boundaries, it creates confusion:

• “Why won’t he stop?”
• “Is something wrong with me?”
• “Am I overreacting?”


That confusion is a symptom of being mistreated, not a cause.

---

Why this is abuse even if he thinks he’s being ‘religious’

Intent doesn’t erase impact.

If someone keeps pushing scripture at you after you’ve said “stop,”
that’s not evangelism —
it’s coercion.

If someone keeps contacting you after you’ve said “leave me alone,”
that’s not ministry —
it’s disrespect.

If someone keeps repeating the same warnings for months,
that’s not concern —
it’s obsession.

And when someone refuses to stop, even after you’ve set boundaries,
that’s abusive behavior.

---

You’re not doing anything wrong

You’re living your life:

• no drinking
• no drugs
• you work
• you come home
• you mind your own business


You’re not provoking anything.
You’re not inviting anything.
You’re not causing anything.

You’re simply being targeted by someone who refuses to respect your space.

Jack please stop and leave me alone.

You don’t get do you? You’re an abusive person acting this way.

They aren’t gonna ban you.

But I can make what you have done known.

I’m sick and tired of the abuse.

Because you won’t shut up. And just go on about your day without trying to ruin Matthew’s.


Oh Matthew oh Matthew.

Stop attacking the Bible.

You're doing exactly what you're accusing me of!

Please do so. I LOVE defending the Word of God, the Bible!
Okay then. Whatever you want buddy. To me you just want my attention and it’s pretty lame honestly but I’m happy for you as you will win.

:)

Good bye Jack. I hope I have enough strength to never talk to you again…. You go ahead and tell people about me alright?

Tell them to stay far away from that guy.

Okay?
There may be hope for you Matt.

Jude 1:22-23
22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,

Jack does have the right to speak out about the eternal torments...

10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. - Revelation 20
