  Is anyone on the forum from Illinois?

  by Leander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this site has been a source of tremendous encouragement for me.

  i've been able to truly learn quite a bit since i've started coming here.

  i've also found the courage that i need which will help me walk away from the jw organization in the very near future.

  Relating to Non-JW's

  by LucidSky in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i read the "ex-witness singles" thread and it seems like a good idea.

  the thought has crossed my mind many times before since non-jw's often don't seem to care or understand.

  i would love being able to relate on something that has played such an important part of your lives (uh, understated - something your world is supposed to revolve around.

  My district overseer in Arizona

  by Preston in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  brother emsahw (i think that's how his name was spelled) was my district overseer.

  he was also the most flamboyantly effeminate higher-upper of any witness i came across (yeah, yeah...i know).

  for many witnesses he was eccentric, from my standpoint, well, you know...

  How old were you when you lost your virginity...

  how old were you when you lost your virginity and was it all that you thought it would be?????.

  i was 19, and my first time was a complete let down.

  i envisioned that gothic romance motif, all about romance and love, i didn't know what i was doing, didn't know sex was like that.

  "Social Retardation"

  by Alana in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  question for those who were raised as jws.....after you left, especially if as an adult, did you ever feel like you were "socially retarded"?

  i was married twice to jws, yet when i was single again as an xjw, i really felt like i didn't know how to get to know someone of the opposite sex, how to date, what to do or not do, what to expect or not expect.

  my ex-husband talked to me the other day and he stated the same thing.
