I'm screwed.......... (page 3)

I really don't know your X, and maybe this is a dumb question, is it possible to have a relationship with him and not be a JW? Tell him how you feel, what you beleive and see if he is still interested, explain that you are not going to compromise your feelings or beleifs. He may just leave you alone and you won't have to worry about him. If he isn't willing to let you be your own person than loose him. You will be miserable. Being miserable is worse than being lonely!

Sorry to hear that your heart is cutting off the blood supply to your brain.

It isn't going to go well for you and you know it. I'm sorry.

Quotes

MavMan spewed a question:

Interesting comments all, isn't this brainwashing?

Answer: NO. Seeking advice from one's peer group is not brainwashing. If you knew more about brainwashing and cults than just the two paragraphs in the "Reasoning From the Scriptures" book, you would know this.

If your question was sincere (which I totally doubt), then go out and find the answers. I can recommend several good books on the topic (that aren't apostate because they aren't specifically anti-JW and weren't written by former JWs).

Thanks for everyone's reply, and your advice. I wish I would just see the light, and I wish I would meet a man that would sweep me off my feet and make me forget this jw all together....
If anybody missed me last night, I was on my date w/ him, and we didn't get back until after 2 am. It was NOT chaperoned, like those in the past, and we had an EXCELLENT time. It was too good, it was like a dream. I really missed him ALOT. I told him that I am not going to any more meetings, and that I don't believe in his truth, nor could or would ever. I don't know if he accepted that, but I tried to be blunt. He said, "ok".

He invited me to his apartment tonight to watch movies, and I said no. Think I'm gonna play hard to get...

LB

Well sweetie it might be a bit too late to play hard to get now. But I do wish you all the best.

OK Butalbee,

I'm seriously questioning your sanity here.....

Well maybe the rules have changed since I left the org 20 years ago.
Maybe your allowed to go out with non witness girls now.
But based on the rules as I experienced them,there are some things indicated by his behaviour,
hes going out with a worldly girl, unchaperoned, inviting her (alone, I assume) to his apartment.....
He sounds like hes RIPE FOR THE PICKING to me.
Hes getting a sniff of the real world thru you.And it feels nice.
Thats where hes at. (IMO)
I think you can get this guy to leave the church. Maybe.
Wouldnt that be nice?
You dont want to marry him as a Witness, you out /him in.
That will only create big trouble later, down the track.
I guarantee.
If and when you have children he will be duty bound to take them to cult meetings so the org can brainwash them.
How would YOU feel about that? Are you going to allow him to do that?
How are you going to stop him?
A thousand problems like this will rear their ugly heads.

Make him choose whether hes a loyal Nazi, or whether hes taking out British citizen ship.
(World War 2 analogy).

Lara, please!

Look at it this way, you stopped seeing him for a reason. I'm assuming that same reason is still there. Remember that reason when he comes around. Before I got married that is what kept me from ever going back out with any of my x's even though they may have wanted to.
