    'worldly' men like to seek out JWs because they know they are chaste and less chance of picking up a disease.. etc etc etc..

    Wow is this ever a generalization . What the hell kind of evidence do they have to support that kind of statement ? I thought jws were trained not to have sex before marriage anyway . Marriage means blood testing . True the internet can be a dangerous place to meet people but they make it seem as if everybody out there is some kind of sicko . I think there's greater risk in the door to door work .

    minimus:

    You are absolutely right. I thought about that after I posted it. But "meet-ups" for single JW's wouldn't be a bad idea. Complete with dramas about remaining "chaste" or is it "CHASED".

    anyone ever notice how JW women outnumber JW men?

    and they expect the ladies to avoid internet dating services? and not to go to meetings at another KH? or go to another assembly other than the dates assigned? what do these people expect??

    I know a lot of couples who look at each other and wonder how they ever ended up in a relationship with the only thing in common is a restricted social life.

    I can relate with this. I was in a marriage for 18 years and we had nothing in common but that "restrictive" religion. When I decided this was not for me what did we have left? Nothing..

    Here are some gems from that speech:

    "Some of these sites target Jehovah's Witnesses!"

    "The Internet is a highway in a wasteland".

    Followed up by, "Marrying an unbeliever is an act of disobedience to God! (Deut 7:3,4)"

    A hallmark moment. The Watchtower 'organism' is the family wreckers of fame . Jumped ship/bad relationship.? Whole lotta,rocky, rotten marriages and rotten kids.

    Just think of all the incompatible mismatched marriage unions in the 'spiritual paradise',among the JW faithful.

    Marriages made for kingdom expediency.It doesn't matter that you are ,fat old 'n ugly, cause in a year or so Jehovah is gonna make you beautiful in the paradise.Now! they are stuck.Once the knot is tied,you can't undo a JW marriage.No matter how bad it gets.( except under the most soul wrenching circumstance) alt

    Whole lotta rotten relationships .Now they are stuck with each other.Oh by the way, if you bear the cross of celibacy and you give in to normal sexual sexual tension and ,oh no, succumb to masturbation..You now have to confess the dire deed to the elders or you go to hell.

    Relation[shits] in the new world society, it must really suck.

    I'm 47 born in the 'troof' and I never married.I have a colostomy bag which doesn't enhance one's attractiveness.Also,because I saw so many unhappy incompatible JW unions,and cause big "J" was gonna make me a 'perfect' mate in the new system.

    Undaunted Danny been 'round da block a few times baby.I present the courtship:Read his story in the Maine Times [text version] My own parents ca. 1955,the more things change in dub land the more they stay the same:

    Q: Tell me about the situation with your mother.

    A: My parents were Jehovah's Witness missionaries, and when I was born they were reviled for having a baby because the end of the world was coming any day; the preaching work has to get priority. My father married my mother after he met her family when he was going door-to-door. She was 17, he was 27. She was worse than legally blind. They married and it was hell. He was a rotten husband. He was a psychopath because he was a Jehovah's Witness. I was a Jehovah's Witness, too.

    I was a good-looking boy. I had all these girls chasing me, but I had to suppress my sex drive because any day the end of the world's coming and I'm going to get delivered and I decided the thing to do was to live with my parents even though it sucked. When I was 30, my mother up and moved to Florida. In 1997 I heard a rumor that she had Alzheimer's disease, that she didn't recognize any of her children. She must be deceased by now; I?ve never been able to find out.

    Danny's take on the Internet,"WT$ cult leadership never foresaw the devestating inroads that would be made against them on the Information superhighwayYOU ARE BUSTED BUDDY.

    Don't know if this is related but my parents passed on a tidbit of information that had me wishing when I were in the troof, all this new fangled digital technology. They said there was this one sister locally who was saying how she used her digital camera to take pictures of the crowd below from high up in the stands, she would then go home, download the pictures and get close ups of the brothers which she fancied, I thought what a cool idea, great initiative she be using on her part, she would then go back the next day armed with the image of the ones which she would seek out, how times have changed.

    I know that if I stayed a JW, I probably would have never got married even if I wanted too.

    I am female of average looks, strike 1.

    opinionated: strike 2

    feminist: strike 3

    artsy: strike 4

    Hey, I'm not picky baby. That's why I get paper bags at the grocery store, not plastic.

    opinionated: strike 2

    That's okay. I don't listen to women anyway.

    feminist: strike 3

    I'm a chauvanist. We should get along like a house on fire. (People running, screaming)

    artsy: strike 4

    Not a strike in my playbook: Artsy chicks make cheap dates. A play, a bottle of wine, some candles, and bam! their birkenstocks are scratching your back.... woof woof woof...

    Just thought I might cheer you up a bit...
