Yes, I definately had problems keeping a relationship. Things seemed to go fairly normal for a time, but when they found out that I used to be a JW, they usually ran. And, as you mentioned, the Holidays and such were new for me, and it would cause problems, as I still had the guilt thing going on. It has been better the past couple of years, as I am starting to fit more in the "World", and using my brain to think along those lines, rather than thinking of how I would have handled things while in the Org.

RE: Post - WT relationships
by TallTexan inhave any of you found that it's more difficult to have normal relationships after you've left?
i seem to know a lot of ex-jw's (myself included) who tend to fall into these co-dependent relationships.
it's almost like we're trying to replace the control and turmoil of the wt w/ a bad relationship....lol.

You have the kindest heart! You always look out for other people, and know exactly what to say to help them cope with life's issues. I hope we can return the favor someday when you need it. Thanks so much!!!

Should JWs consume dairy products?
by Pleasuredome inhttp://www.notmilk.com/kradjian.html

with milk being contaminated with blood components such as albumen and white blood cells, should jws consume dairy products?

Well, seeing as how they are full of hot air to begin with, I think that if they consumed Lactose enriched dairy products, it would help equalize them, as they would then have hot air at both ends......

You Blood Sucking Leeches !!!!!!
by Poztate ini hope you didn't take that personally,.
i was watching cnn and they had a segment about how useful leeches were in the treatment of patients who had unclean wounds.
if you applied leeches to the wound they would eat all the pus,blood,clots etc and aid in the healing process.. i seem to recall that a good jw could not use this kind of treatment because it would be wrong to allow a leach to feed on your blood.

Ewwww! I saw that too. I also saw how they use maggots to eat away infection in cases of gout, etc.
I do have to point out though that the thread title is very misleading-I thought it was going to be something regarding the Governing Boneheads!
It would be interesting to get their perspective on something like the leeches. Makes me wanna do some research.....
