I am a 25 year old female, and have been studing the truth for the past 2years. My mother taught it to me since I was little, it always made sense to me and was something I wanted in my life.I hadn't made it a big part of my life, until two years ago when I started my own study.

I am getting older and would like to meet someone to be with who is a Jehovahs Witness, or someone like me who is working towards that. It has been so hard, because I date ppl who are not in the truth, and when I try to teach them about it they have no intrest, but want to continue dating me regardless. This is not what I want, I want someone with similar beliefs, but I can not find anyone. Even when I go to meetings, or gatherings with JW's there is nobody.

Does anybody out there feel the way I do?

Hi There!

Welcome to the board.

A reasonable question to ask yourself is, why do all the people that you find yourself attracted to -- presumably intelligent, articulate, educated people -- have no interest in learning about Jehovah's Witnesses? They might simply say, "I don't believe that way", but have you asked them WHY they don't believe it?

And while you're at it, ask yourself why "the truth" hasn't produced a flock of great candidates for you to choose from. Following God's plan for man as closely as JW's claim to do, you'd think all the best guys would be there. But you're right, they're not.

Again, welcome!

umm, have you read any of the threads here?

Well as long as I have a jw's attention could you please explain the whole 1914 thing for me? or why you think the gb are the fds? Why did the wt commit spiritual fornication with UN? just a few, I have many more questions. Thanks for you time.

Hi! Welcome to the board.

I felt much the same way when I was in my late teens. I got along so much better with worldly girls, felt much more comfortable around them.

But trying to convert someone into a JW is not only wrong, but a difficult and stressful path to take.

That being said, you will want to read some of the other threads here. By and large, most people here are ex-JWs. We have a number of ex-Elders and ex-Ministerial Students here as well! Look around! You might like it!

It has been so hard, because I date ppl who are not in the truth, and when I try to teach them about it they have no intrest, but want to continue dating me regardless.

By dating people who are not JWs you are on the right track.

Rather than teach them about it do some research into the entire history of the watchtower. You'll think twice about getting involved with them. Please don't ruin your life as so many of us have.

well I guess I didn't read too many of the threads, I didn't know this was mainly an anti-jehovah witness site. No matter what anybody says It can never change how i feel about Jehovah inside. My life has been really tough and even when I started my own bible study Jehovah didn't make my life better, thats not what believing in him is about. I don't know everything about the religion, but thats why I keep learning.

Alot of ppl I try to teach about the religion don't listen and thats fine, ppl do what they want and believe what they want, I don't try to push my beliefs on anyone, or try to change their mind. Only if someone has questions or is unsure about their life do i try to talk to them about it. I know whats in my heart, and that can never be changed.

sorry to waste anybodys time.

daystar

You absolutely have wasted nobody's time. This is not exactly an anti-JW site. This site is for support for JWs, ex-JWs and anyone in between.

Most of us here were in your shoes at an earlier point. We also had our hearts set to be JW's forever. Why did we leave? Not for the reasons the Watchtower claims, but because we started THINKING. You also are thinking, but you don't see it that way yet. Consider these two statements:

Only if someone has questions or is unsure about their life do i try to talk to them about it.

I know whats in my heart, and that can never be changed.

You yourself have questions, most notably, "Why can't I find a good man among JW's?" Like the people you meet in field service, you have a question about your faith. And just like them, you refuse to allow yourself to pursue it. Instead you find something else to blame it on. "There aren't enough brothers in the congregation", something like that. Since you've resolved to 'never change', you force yourself to look elsewhere for a solution, and therefore can never see it.

As has often been pointed out here, if what JW's have is "the truth", then it should be able to withstand any scrutiny. Why not allow yourself to scrutinize it, as you would suggest any Catholic should do of their faith? What could it possibly hurt?

(BTW, also contrary to what the Watchtower teaches, apostates aren't all that terribly clever. Some of us are quite stupid!)

Hey there,

There are tons of JW dating sites online.....this, however is an apostate ex-JW site so I dont think you are going to find what you are looking for here!

pureclob

Whether you are a JW or not it is hard to meet ppl, I wasn't questioning why there weren't alot of JW to meet I just wanted to know if there was someone out there feeling how i do right now.

If you're religious or not, its still hard to meet someone you hit it off with, thats all.
