    This is making the rounds.

    He doesn't serve Jehovah

    I'd like to tell you a story, about true love at last.

    It's very informative and has an interesting cast.

    So pay close attention, it's sad but true,

    and don't ever think this can't happen to you.

    I met him during lunch break on a sunny day,

    He sat next to me and smiled, as I was about to pray.

    We talked on and on. He was such a gentleman

    I wished that this moment would never end.

    Ah, but then it came to be the end of my lunch hour.

    I tell you when he stood up; he looked just like a tower!

    We met again and again. Our souls began to cling.

    I pondered in my mind, "Is this the REAL thing?"

    He doesn't smoke or drink, or gamble away his money.

    He doesn't do drugs or things like that and he's nobody's "honey".

    Let's face it, he's fine and he's really got a great "body".

    The only thing that's missing is he doesn't serve Jehovah God.

    I'll just give him a chance, he'll change in time.

    I won't mind being "his", if he'd like to be "mine".

    My friends tried to warn me. I didn't listen or care.

    Little did I know my life would be one of despair?

    The wedding was fine. The judge married us in the fall.

    You see, I couldn't have a wedding in a Kingdom Hall

    My dad, no, he didn't give me away.

    With the pain in his heart, he didn't have much to say.

    Mom listens to me, please don't cry and whine.

    Don't worry about us, we'll be just fine.

    I've got a good man and he has a good job.
    The only thing is, he doesn't serve Jehovah God.

    Everything is going fine, but recently at night.

    When it's time for the meeting, we just fuss and fight.

    He says, "Who's this God, breaking us apart?

    Don't go tonight dear, please follow your heart."

    So I listen and stay, to keep peace at home.

    But now oftentimes, I feel so all-alone.

    I don't associate with the friends much at all,

    To keep peace at home, I don't go to the Hall.

    Service and Meetings, all that's history.

    Today, I decorated my first Holiday Tree.

    The holiday celebrations are now part of my life.

    You see, I must obey my husband, for I am his wife.

    The brothers would call. I wouldn't answer the door.

    I don't read the magazines. Reading is such a bore.

    Marrying out of the Truth, it really sets you "free".

    "Free" from Jehovah's love that once was in me!

    I just got the news! I'm having a "little one"!

    I can hardly wait to tell my dear "Hone".

    He was in a bad mood. He lost his job that day.

    He told me as he hit me, "That's just one more bill to pay!"

    Then he apologized, "I'm sorry, please forgive me Dear"

    You see, I've heard those words more often than I'd like to hear.

    I have two jobs now. I must support my household.

    My husband says he'll find work, but now that's getting old.

    I'm tired. I'm stressed. I'm feeling very strange.

    My schedule at both jobs, I'll have to rearrange.

    I should be very happy; the baby is due any day.

    Things just have to get better, somehow, some way.

    I'm married to this man, for better or for worse.

    The only problem is, he doesn't put Jehovah first.

    The baby came today, she's so little and so light.

    She's not crying or making noise, something's just not right.

    "What could be wrong?" I thought aloud as I lay in bed.
    In came the doctor looking sad, and then he shook his head.

    "Mrs. Unbeliever," he said, "there's something I must confess."

    You and the baby tested positive to the new HIV test.

    I started crying. I couldn't believe the words the doctor said.

    To know that in a very short time, my child and I'd be dead!

    Listen to me! All of you! I'm telling you to your face!

    To marry an Unbeliever, is a TOTAL DISGRACE,

    To Jehovah, our loving father, who provides for his sheep!

    That's why he sets the guidelines for us to hold and keep.

    Wait on Jehovah.. In his due time He'll set things straight.

    Be patient and He'll give you a Theocratic mate.

    One who loves Jehovah and you know that he'll do right.

    One who'll be there with you when it comes to "Meeting" night!

    A worldly man has nothing to offer - really nothing at all

    But unhappiness, sadness, sorrow, and a very serious fall.

    So be wise my Sisters, and please don't try to rush things.

    Wait patiently on Jehovah, and accept the blessings he brings.

    Don't look to worldly men as mates, at your job or at the Mall.

    REMEMBER! Brothers that serve Jehovah are at the Kingdom Hall.

    This poem is unbelieveable.

    How many JWs have married a "Theocratic mate" only to find out that there spouse is a loser.

    I've heard this so many times before.

    As if the same thing couldn't happen with a theocratic mate!

    At first this sickened me, but maybe it's a good thing. Anything that keeps JW women from latching on to "worldly" men is a good thing.

    Hello, just thought I would jump on this as I don't see an easy way of making a new topic just yet.

    James Woods here, used to post as James_Woods, now am Jwoods. For some reason, it says James_Woods was already in use - maybe I have a ghost?

    Was gone for a while doing other stuff and waiting for the site to get remade - nice looking, too! Still see a few familiar names.

    Everything about the same for me, living in Dallas, Tx. still, still writing commercial software. Kids all moved away now with new careers and such.

    Will be back around from time to time, am still spending most of my post efforts on some automotive and aircraft boards.

    Glad to read all your DA stories, though - and of course you all are filtering through this Michael Jackson thing with much more sense than most any other board I know.

    CYA all later, James

    OMG I remember reading something like this about the time I was leaving my JW husband who had let our son die without letting him have blood.

    I had reconnected to a lost love from my high school years and was seriously considering leaving my husband for him. I remember reading this from someone who knew how I was feeling. Well when I read it I had the insight this was just more cult baloney and it actually moved me to end my very bad marriage and get out.

    Today my lost love from high school and I are married and I've found the greatest happiness I only dreamed of as a JW. These kinds of poems are nothing but propaganda to keep people in the JW making them fearful enough to doubt these love relationships. Sadly too many live in fear and this kind of continued reinforment keep JW's from ever finding happiness. Stay in the bad marriage because Jehovah demands it, forget about ever feeling love because love for God will be enough no matter that your spouse is beating you or ignoring you. For those young single JW sisters this is pure nonsense. The religion is the only handicap you have because you've locked yourself into a cage with an open door but two fearful to leave the cage.

    Some of the JW brothers are totally miserable human because they too are locked into marrying some JW gal they have no feeling for and it leaves both of them in loveless marriages.

    Putting prejudice to poetry is like mixing vomit with sugar. It's still pretty hard to swallow.
