Passive-aggressive behavior/posting
by onacruse inhaving had a few days to reflect on this, and resolving some conflicts, i'd like to explore this p/a aspect of human behavior.. first off, let me say that i am oftentimes p/a, usually as an effort to elicit the deeper meanings of other people.. however, sometimes i'm p/a because i'm not really sure of where i'm going in a topic: my indecision presents a p/a.. and then there are times when i'm p/a, not even knowing it.. this last realization was presented to me by another poster, some time back, when he pointed out to me how often the wts uses p/a in their literature.
i had never noticed it.
it was just part of my upbringing, my conditioning, and i naturally adopted that "way" of behaving as normal.. so, as another little p/a post .

Hey welcome back Katie!
Well, enough of this babbling. If any of you remember me from 5 years ago, let me know. I am going to start posting here more.
I remember you! Funny story about you and me in chat here on JWD in my early days of the forum I used to go into chat just to get to know some of the people here. I was very scared to be here my first few months on the board so I wouldn't post I was afraid to be found out so I didn't post but would just go into chat. Then people started calling you Katie (which is my name too) and I freaked! I thought I was busted! LOL I left for a while but couldn't stay away then I figured out your name was the same as mine, whew!
I have told this story to a few others one being my now husband who I met here on JWD and by then you had disappeared and all I could remember about your alias is that it was skateboard related, LOL. Now I don't feel so crazy.....you do exist!
Glad you're back and I look forward to hearing more from you!

Why can't he let himself be happy?
by emilyblue ini'm in love with a man who is a witness.
i am a pretty inactive protestant, meaning my parents were only able to drag me to church twice a year on christmas eve and easter morning.
he told me early into our relationship that he wanted to marry me and spend the rest of his life with me, and that he has never felt the love for anyone else like he does for me.

((emilyblue))......you know what to do!
Dating is so you'll get to know a person to see if you two are a match and it usually takes 18 months to 2 years for people to let their guard down and events to happen where you really see the real person.
The way I see it is that you've invested a year on this guy and you see what he's like and it sounds pretty crazy to me. Just ask yourself some hard questions like, do you want to live the rest of your life with this man like the year you've spent with him? Are the few, brief good times enough to make up for the many bad times? How does he make you feel as a person? Does he honor your beliefs? Is he trying to change you into something/someone you aren't? Can you imagine having his children and bringing them up in this craziness? Would that be fair to an innocent child and be in their best interest?
Marriage isn't about just you but children do come along and as a parent you absolutely need to give them the best start possible and that begins with bringing them into a compatible marriage, period! If you want to keep this guy and live with his craziness please have your tubes tied!
You might want to read this book, it will help you sort out the tough questions:
Before You Say 'I Do' : Important Questions for Couples to Ask Before Marriage
Happy reading and good luck!

Regarding human beings----the Society for years resisted that expression. They instead referred to it as "human creatures".
LOL mini my reference is more about a human simply being instead of the WTS version of doing.

Those Three Words "I love you"
by Thinking of Leaving inhi everyone, happy friday.
i have a question for the guys and girls on this board.
do you think that the man or the woman should say "i love you" first in a relationship?.

TGIF to you too!
I wouldn't worry about who should say what first I would worry more about confusing love with lust. True love takes time and shouldn't be rushed into.

I learned what conditional love is.
I was taught to be a human doing instead of a human being.
I learned prejudice.
I learned to believe in magical thinking.
I was taught to be in subjection to men.
I repressed feelings ie; to see what I saw, to hear what I heard, to feel what I felt, to believe what I believed and to act on them would get me into trouble.
Most of all I learned fear, fear of man, fear of god, fear of the world which I lived in yet didn't belong in.
I learned that Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs are the dis in dysfunctional.
I was taught to be dysfunctional in a functional world.
I was told to wait on Jehovah and I learned he is a lazy god.

OH! Do tell!
The answers are found in the Proclaimers heritage, history book.
Don't have the book, don't want to get the book, LOL. Sitting on the edge of my seat patiently waiting for the answer Blueblades.

Jehovah's Witness allow pedophiles in their congregations and punish the victims.

Well a great big Happy Birthday wish for you Renee!
FWIW when I was a Dub I used to give my kids a big Birthday hug and *pinch* and let them have whatever they wanted for dinner that night. I missed out on Birthday's as a kid and wanted to do something to let my kids know they [are] were special to me. As a kid the only thing I had to look forward to on my Birthday was a card with a one dollar bill in it from my Grandmother. Don't laugh $1.00 went a long way way back then!
