GratefulforGrace, I used to work for the Police Dept. and I know they do take kidnappings, abusive situations VERY seriously so they will get that search warrant if you do decide to inform them. And its best to go in person to the Police Dept. vs. calling 911 over the phone line. Can you tell if the occupiers are young, middle age … ? If they are banging on the walls, etc. I can just imagine what they are destroying. Duplexes, condos, townhouses have strict guidelines and suppose to have a firewall from basement all the way up to the attic (with either cement or brick) that separates the units … plus it cuts down on the noise. Praying for your protection and deliverance …. just came back to say that when my husband came up our walk to our "front" door, the "normal" neighbor family that our main door faces their door and 2 windows face their 2, one of them went into one of the rooms with a window, flipped on a light and talked and my hubby said it was like he was standing right next to him- he could hear him like he was having a conversation with him...so, the other house on the other side who has a "front" (it's on the side) door & 2 windows right across from our scary other half neighbors, so they must hear all the yelling very very clearly and can probably tell more of what is going on than we can- they should be able to tell exactly what is being said because i feel like i almost can a couple times...my husband thinks it's 2 women and children living there (in the other house- not the scary one)...i almost went over there today becuz the scary house garage door was open again with no cars, but I didn't have a peace from God about it and thankful I didn't becuz i could hear that the scary one came home soon after and they may've seen me and heard anything i would've been saying cuz i'd have been standing right across from their door (although they prob went in thru garage)...see, i wasn't gonna come ramble more, but i wanted to say God helped me through encouragement listening to Charles Stanley about God having a plan for us individually no matter what stage of life we are in and surrendering fully to Him...I know He is doing good in us and will through us in the ways He knows is best...I prayed in our Savior's Name about the spiritual realm under our own roof which includes our side and theirs- for God to send demons away not to return...I think we need to talk w/ that other house and maybe make 2 separate police calls at some point...but, Geri- we did go to the police station- and were just told it sounds like domestic situation and we can call 911 but that they will not bust open the door or anything like that (and she has to want to leave or something like that)...btw there is no basement & these are brand new and probably not made like good old buildings, but if the wall between us isn't even that thin, than it must be extremely loud when there's distressed lady crying out from the other side of the house away from our wall- like this evening briefly- where the windows face the other house's windows...and i hubby says he thinks they may be in their 20s...i'm sorry y'all, i really wasn't going to do all these details- wasn't even gonna get back on here, but hubby had a phone call, so jumped on...feel like i'm hogging attention though & giving back nothing, and i don't like that...please all just keep praying - God restored me today after I felt like i was going to fall apart and never be ok again- He helped me focus on Him and He chased away the constant fear and inability to even really function....also, just going to add how surprised i am but that i've seen many places online where help organizations are saying to those who want to help that we aren't to "fix" or "rescue"- which of course is our instinct to want to...and we are to respect the abused's choice to stay in the situation (& only help them make a safety plan if they want to)...these aren't Christian organizations though...hubby listened today to James Dobson & I just started to about a woman who'd been abused growing up and how redeemed and beautiful her life is now in Christ...Godly counsel can be very different than worldly wisdom...i may call a Christian family services place for info/guidance...pray God won't let us act on our own emotions or lean on our own understanding...thankful hubby will be home all day saturday & sunday...monday we have to leave daughter here though while we go to his mri...again, thanks for prayers...maranatha!!! :thankyou :flyup: gratefulforgrace, while this forum is primarily a rapture watch forum we are also a Christian family and a safe place. You needed a place to express the very difficult scenario that you are facing and we are here for you. I’m glad you chose to be detailed because it helps us understand what is going on and that could help another member in offering counsel or advice. We will continue to pray for your situation. Please let us know how it turns out. thank you, yohanan when i was outside just a little bit ago i think i heard a child crying loudly sounded like they were outside too, but there was nobody where i could see in the back, so maybe it was at their front door...i'd heard a siren before that but didn't think it was really nearby...maybe the cops came and maybe they knew a kid was there and were getting them out...i really have no idea- i feel like i'm in a nightmare and i can't process it or react...if there is a kid in that house, it's "a whole nother ball game!" i know we thought maybe a few weeks ago or something, but i'd decided it was an adult female sound only...i think the other neighbors would know by now who is in there and a lot more about what is going on...i think tomorrow i'm going to find about child protective services checking- i think they have to look into it if i call them with concerns...please pray for any child possibly there and anything that could be going on- maybe the police were there...the music stopped right after i heard that...i swear i thought i heard no, mommy, no! i was scared she's hurting her kid...it's eerily quiet now, so i pray it's that they took a child away...we were going to be foster parents before we found out how much our daughter was struggling with inside...she's got horror movies running through her thoughts and mind when in absolutely wonderfully safe and blessed surroundings all her life other than when very young her mom died of cancer, but she's always been loved and cared for...now we are sort of witnessing real terror and danger for others and us and she has seemed to after initial concerns and clearly anxious to have gone to not bothered by it or scared and just concerned that we are stressed and not feeling well and upset...hubby is exhausted from 10 hours driving & not a lot of sleep lately with all this added stress and financial concerns and is in pain often now including at night- he fell asleep on couch hour or so ago...it's very quiet- no music at all no noise...maybe the other house heard the yells clearly enough earlier - maybe she cried "help" so they knew to call cops? please do keep praying...i can't believe how horrible people are without fearing the Lord or asking for His help or realizing He knows and sees all and cares about all of our choices...please pray God will rescue all the children soon up out of this Earth- evil is getting more and more bold...i think i've smelled weird smells couple times too...we could just blow right up if they've set up a meth lab or something...all this in the nice new part of town with very high rent!! evil knows no bounds of income or location..."peace & safety" without the Lord is satan's lie...it's still quiet...that may be a good sign...faith not fear...i gotta let go...He will tell us what to do and if and when...thank y'all so much...God is loosening our grip on comfort and self centered-ness and on this world in general...we have to be willing to do the work He wants to do through us until we leave...trust and obey...gonna go read the verses from earlier today and try sleep...i love my brothers and sisters in Christ! Agree Yohanan. Grateful, praying the Lord brings those in to the situation who are well equipped for just such things, to deal with whatever the situation is. We'll keep lifting her up for the Lord to intervene and overtake on their behalf, for their salvation, and your safety.
