  i dont know where to start so why not at the beginning.

  i was seeing this girl and we hit it off great chemistry.

  it went from a physical to a deeper relationship.

  My advice from a few pages back still stands. Move on, nothing good is going to come from this.

  If nothing else, you deserve someone who accepts you as you are. You can never change yourself enough to make someone else happy - Witnesses expect you to change to earn their love. After you join it is a never ending barrage of things you need to change to make them happy. Get out while you still easily can.

  the irony would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

  that's right, a country that bans women from driving cars is on the un womens rights commission.

  "electing saudi arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief," .

  Yeah great idea. As a woman, Saudia Arabia is the first country I would want to weigh in on women's rights. 😏

  I went to Brooklyn once. Patterson and Watchtower Farms more times than I can count. I worked on a couple of projects there and briefly dated an overseer from Watchtower Farm. He said I was too headstrong

  I don't really know as I shut the door on those people and that part of my life a very long time ago.

  The only one so do know of are three families I was close to growing up each couple had two children, and in each family one stayed and one left.

  last week we had a reassurance ultrasound with our ob.

  she was just supposed to check heartbeats on the two little ones and they were going strong!

  but because she had extra time and she can be quite anal about her work (which is a good thing) she decided to take some measurements.

  So, how's it feel, Watchtower -- now that the shoe's on the other foot?

  yes, your cult has been banned in russia.

  what surprises me is that this hasn't happened in more countries.

  what surprises me is that civil suits in the u.s. haven't flooded the courts -- violation of civil and human rights because of the cruel act of shunning of disfellowshipped ones, even members of one's own family.. discrimination is a form of cruelty and civil and human rights define such.

  I couldn't agree more,Simon. Do not excuse the individual JW actions, they are masters at making their bad behavior someone else's fault.

  It's like an abusive husband who says it's his wife's fault he hit her. JWs try to say it's the DF'd persons fault.

  I am never responsible for someone else's bad behavior. But on the other hand I am always responsible for my own bad behavior. I always have a choice in how I act or respond and so do the JWs.

  Once my parents are gone, I don't care. My siblings are vile JW's so I don't care if I ever have anything to do with them. As long as my parents are alive I will keep most of my opinions to myself. I live life freely as it is, because I physically relocated from the area where I am known to JWs.

  JWs always try to make their actions a result of something you did. Don't fall for it. You said "if I had said yes earlier maybe she wouldn't have went back." It's her choice, her actions, don't take responsibility for her bad behavior.

  i know it sounds cold, but having dealt with my own family members JW craziness, I can speak from experience. JWs explain their bad behavior in terms of what you did to cause it. My sister has done awful things to her children because of "their actions", which consisted of not wanting to be a witness anymore.

  People are also drawn to the witnesses because they don't have to be responsible for the state of their life. The religion takes all the decision making out of it, so the results are not the individuals responsibility.
