Would you ever come back for someone you loved? (page 2)

No. I've never been one to give into emotional blackmail.

No, I agree with Cat

If a person loves another deeply, they will not ask you to do something that hurts you.

I tried to hang in for years because I knew it would break my mother's heart if I left; I finally just had to leave, and she is still heartbroken years later. It might have been the first time I took a stand onlyfor myself. Happily, it was the first of several life-altering decisions.

I could not go back.

This is what I have been doing for the last 6 months. I got df'd, she didn't. I can cope with all the shunning, ect, that doesn't bother me. But as time goes by its getting harder to keep going to the meetings, keep up the act ect, because I keep thinking of how much I don't want to be a part of that organisation. My getting reinstated and gettin my relationship back on track is looking less likely every day.

If a family member or love interest will only accept you as a JW, then you must find your own path in life and start steppin'! It's a hard choice to make, and take it from someone who has - it's worth it. Nothing feels better than to be loved and accepted for who you truly are.

Oh goodness. I've been in your shoes. Looking back to two years ago, I now think I was temporarily INSANE for even considering it! Although even at that time I did know in my heart of hearts that I could never go back for another person, as much as I actually thought it all through. We all need to do what we believe. I for one could never go back and "fake it" because I dont believe in an ounce of it. That kind of sacrifice - for another person - was not in the cards for me. That relationship is over, and I'm glad because it was not meant to be anyways. There was someone more suited for me. It's hard to see that ever could be at the time you're going through something like this.

There are other fish in the sea. Someone else said it, there are millions of other people out there. And just think, if you had children with that person, how would that be handled? If you REALLY think through it all, I'll bet you'll come to the rational conclusion that as much as you might love that person, it would be a mess. Think long and hard! You'll make the right decision that is healthy for you. Love is a tough place to be sometimes.

I would go back if I met a women who loves me and would want me to go back with her. I'd be the weakest link in the org. though.

And if I was an active JW, I would quit for a women who loves me and wants me to quit.

Bottom line: My love for a woman would be stronger than my love for the organization and I would follow her anywhere unconditionally.

What's good about eternal life if you are alone and without love. Love comes first.

My love for a woman would be stronger than my love for the organization and I would follow her anywhere unconditionally.

But what about your love for yourself?

That's a good one, Gadget; for once the bible makes a bit of sense!

Oh, and NO, NEVER!!! If this hypothetical person couldn't accept that I don't agree with the WBTS, then tough!

NO!! NO! NO! NO!... let me spell that for you a 'N' and then a 'O'.. spells NO!!

run don't walk is right.. there are 6 million people out there.

JH.. hit it on the head with the word "unconditional"..

What kind of unconditional love is that... if you have to go back in order to get your love..

Seems to be conditions attached to me.

Would you ever come back for someone you loved?
