see, i don't care if my g/f goes to california or not, because i got unlimited long distance and plenty of money to fly there/drive there and back every few weeks. what caught my attention was this --
"I don't want to get up in the mornings and go out in service, and i don't like going to meetings, and i really don't know what to do"
That was my big shocker. I don't know if she is realizing now or what, but THAT is what i want to know what to kinda hint on or just leave it be....
Well, dust, she has either tired of being a pioneer, or you are getting through to her. I'd like to think you're getting through! If so, way to go! Please keep us posted!

I'm still standing by what I posted in your previous thread.

If she was truly interested in staying with you, she would put forth the effort to keep the both of you together. It sounds like it's all one sided. Again, why can't she get "help" from other JWs in her congregation?
Let her go to California, and wait for her to express the desire to see you. You'll find out if she's really in need of getting help with her spirituality, or if she's just doing this to start a fresh new life elsewhere.
No offense, but this sounds more like an excuse to get away from you. That's my thoughts on this anyway.
Remind her that Jesus said: My load is light and my yoke is kindly.
What this means is that if someone is requiring you to do something that you find burdensome, then that person is not with Jesus.
Her responsibility is to Jesus, not and organization.
Galatians 1:10 Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
If she goes to a new congregation and is also a pioneer she'll be love bombed and put on a pedestal...more than likely this will rejuvinate her JW feelings.
I agree with Nosferatu.Thought that when I read your other thread.If I did'nt want to hurt a guys feelings I would say something to that effect.We understand what your saying.We're just not saying what you want to hear.
