Hi minimus,
I'm not as trusting as I used to be.I was very niave when I became involved with the JW"s.
I'm sorry to say when it comes to authority figures in religion..I look at many of them..thinking are they perverts...would they hurt people who have been hurt within their faith?
Not too offend,but I have a hard time trusting men..."sorrie all you sweet wonderful men who never hurt a soul."But I have been hurt once too many by men who I thought I could trust.

I have learned that you have to observe and examine your friends and expect no more out of them than they can give. Just because you can't trust them in one way doesn't mean that you can't trust them in other ways. The trick is to figure out what ways they are trustworthy and trust them with those matters only.

I used to trust just about anyone, for most of my life - looking for the good in people.
Then we met jws who, like many people in our lives, were in a position to have an affect on our quality of life at a particular time.
That was about three years ago - we’re starting to trust people again, but if we suspect they are jws, we generally assume the very worst for starters and contain any exposure.
This may sound like quite a judgement call, but anyway, I didn't know that such evil people lived in regular neighborhoods, looking sort of normal. I've lived among hippies, bikies, drug dealers, prostitutes and thugs - but nobody like that.

I unfortunately do not trust anyone other than my best friend. The only reason I trust him is because we have been through SO much together.
I do not share my most personal feelings with others simply because every single time I have done so, this info has been used against me.
I hope to someday be able to trust people again.
