hi pureclob,
i'm still a jehovah's witness.
this actually aint an anti-jw site, but a site where everybody can talk about their personal experiences with or within the watchtower society. if you stay here for a while you'll find out that there are a lot of awesome people on here.
and i'm glad you know what you want and you're on it with all your heart. but never forget to also use your other senses. and never be afraid to ask "why".
why do i not feel any better although i'm trying to serve god?
why is the watchtower society so afraid of "apostates"? do they have better arguments than the (so called) "truth"?
why .... ? never stop asking....

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!
Read the logo, Its clear that the owner/creator intended for this site to be about jehovahs wittness discussion and that EVERYONES welcome.. Please dont speak for me I am neither an ex jw or an apostate.... but am here to simply discuss jehovahs wittnesses. I do however find it ironic that self serving self rightous atttitudes all or nothing mentality still presists the anti jws are no better than the jw's they dont want anyone to belive anything different than the way that they them selfs belive! Whats it hurt if she is NOT and apostate or ex jw....

Hi,
Meeting a JW, or someone who is studying and has the same objective, isn't a guarantee of falling in love with them, or it being a big success. Many here married 'only in the lord' as directed by the GB, only to find that there are big differences between what you see at the meetings, to what you endure in your family life.
Don't reject a potentially loving, caring life partner, simply because they aren't interested in becoming a JW.
Isn't there a saying "be careful what you wish for, cos it may come true"? Meeting and marrying a JW does not equal happiness....
Hope you find what you're looking for,
Bull!

If you're religious or not, its still hard to meet someone you hit it off with, thats all.
Well, that's surely true. The emergence of dating sites shows how huge the problem is.
Do you do anything currently that brings you into contact with people you'd likely want to meet? For instance, if you're into sports, do you go to games? If you think people that volunteer their time to help others are the kind of folks you'd like, have you volunteered at a soup kitchen or something on that order?
As a JW you can't join the YMCA, but you *could* take a specific class there, like swimming or something. (If you do this, don't generally advertise it to the congregation, but you might want to mention it to one of the elders so they know you're doing it.)
I hope you find what you're looking for. One comment from the Watchtower that I happen to agree with is, "If you aren't happy single, you won't be happy married." If you're unhappy, you need to figure out why first. Otherwise you wind up married AND unhappy.
And as others have mentioned, you're not wasting anyone's time. We are glad you're here!

Hi pure cob and welcome, my sister is in the same position as you although she in now in her thirties.
She is a nice person attractive and friendly but has now resigned herself to not meeting anyone.
She is sad and lonely, and I am very upset for her. The witness world is small and there are a lack of men. I wish sh would go out with wordly men, there are some great ones out there, loving and kind.
I hope she doesnt regret it when she is older, you cant get back time you lose !!!!!!!
Make sure this is what Jehovah wants and expects of you

Hi Cob, welcome to the board .
My name is GetBusyLiving and I enjoy long walks on the beach, rock climbing and poking fun at the "Revelation - It's Grand Climax at Hand!" book. My turn on's are honesty and compassion, and my turn offs are the Watchtower's blood policy and erroneous information on the date of the fall of Jerusalem.
Just playing with ya, I hope you like it here!

pureclob,
I know it's hard to find a soul mate out there. But he's there. Just have patience and faith that it comes when you least expect it. In the meantime, keep studying the bible on your own and you'll learn more than you ever realized you could learn. I have a close relationship with Jehovah and Jesus Christ, but it's not through the Watchtower. It's directly with them.
PM me if you ever want to talk.

Hi, pureclob. Here's a few sites to get you started. Keep in mind that people can misrepresent themselves over the internet, so use your discernment and don't get too attached until you have a chance to meet the person in the flesh.

I am a regular Christian married to a Jehovah's Witness. I was single for over twenty years waiting for a suitable partner to come along. So I completely understand your frustration. It is very true that there are very few eligible men who are also Jehovah's Witnesses in good standing. Think long and hard if you are willing to live a celibate life as long as I did.

I might be silly and it may have already been said but why dont you just date jws instead of dating nonjws and invainly trying to convert them?
