Hi folks.
Freewillly I got your e-mail,Im looking for what you asked ,(Im very busy building my business,I was always an AMBITIOUS female,the JW,s did not like that)Nosferatu that was very nice of you to send Brian that e-mail for all the good it will do though.
For the person(forget which one) who said that Brian is using The Society as a cop out,I THINK what he REALLY means is the stuffy,nose in the air attitude that he is getting from the brothers and sisters in the congregation.They found out what he was doing and we ALL KNOW how much JW,s love to butt in other people,s business.They are making him feel GUILTY.Its 100% pure garbage!!
The really laughable part is MOST of the stuck up guilt mongers are HAPPILY MARRIED JW,S!!!! They dont give a hoot about any single persons happiness.
When I think that I gave up TWO not one chance at happiness because of the org I can scream. I had two worldy options for marriage when I was a JW(no one asked me out in 7 years,not even a date)The one guy I knew many years back when I worked in his dads factory.He was together mentally ,emotionally ,physically and financially.A real catch.He was not CONTROLLING like so many of the men at the congregation and he appreciated my strong mind and independent spirit.He is now married to someone else.After two years he gave up.Then I met another wonderful man years later.I too brushed him off cause I was SCARED of being SHUNNED. I cant go back and undo the damage.It really hurts sometimes.
Yep single JW,s are up against a real wall. They could actually learn from other churches that have SINGLE DANCES and SINGLE PICNICS and SINGLE PARENTS DAYS and LONEY WIDOW AND WIDOWER brunches like my old Catholic church does.(I was raised Catholic) and let me tell you there are more kind,loving people there than in the stuffy JW congregations where I come from.They all have their own little clicks.Single men did not even want to give me a ride to the hall when My car was down(a single struggling sister) for FEAR something immoral might happen yet men from other churches say HEY! This sister needs a ride to Gods house! I will go and pick her up! What a difference between JW,s and others.
Thats been my experience anyway for many years.
Im also seen as spiritually weak,I was disfellowshipped before,went back,I also have disfellowshipped relatives.I dont stand a chance at ever meeting someone there. :( Im a UNWORTHY piece of garbage as far as their concerned.
