Probably was when i got d/f, as i ran off with a goodlooking italian guy who was studying, (well pretending to be interested, but was more interested in me!) Of course i was a starved from love etc. sister who couldn`t believe her luck at the time, (have come to my senses since!) altho` we did have a 4 year relationship. I know there was gossip as a bro` saw someone i was still in contact with and said ` oh, shame about D...,` wink wink, and laughed, ( well i know he was in an unhappy marriage, as he used to flirt with me all the time, ( makes me sound like a floosie doesn`t it?) but no, i was a faithful jw for 25 years! So the gossip was rife, esp after i wandered around the circuit assembly with him in tow! Well, what could i do? It was a Big temptation, and i`m only human!

No clue. One would hope they had more interesting people to talk about.

Growing up female in the congregation was brutal. The girls were viscous...cattiest on the planet.

Mostlikely but never really cared. Didn't like most the people in it anyway.

I think that was it, mrsj. I didn't like anybody well enough/ wasn't close enough to anybody in my second congregation for it to affect me. I know they used to gossip some...just the few times I got together with any of them, there'd be some of that going on...but if they ever talked about me, I didn't know about it.

You bet I was!!!
It isn't every day that an elder's wife gets DFed for adultery. And considering that I gave them that to gossip about you'd think that would be enough. Seems it wasn't enough so they created some other nasty things to say.

I am being gossiped about right now. Apparently I am an apostate who with "balsam" from this board is trying to RECRUIT people away. Whatever. I couldn't care less if they stayed witnesses or not. They are adults and can make their own decisions.
