he was a creep at the time we split, good looking and all the rest, but prone to violent outbursts and had this knack of making me think i didn't need any other friends (i gradually dropped them all) whilst all the time becoming more controlling........it messed up my head at the time.

(like a dumb twat i even gave him all my visa cards as he said he'd be better at managing "our" money) apparently he is now a changed person, and i am too, no longer as gullible as i once was.

EvilForce:

I haven't come out and told them but my mother knows (how could they not know?). I still have other things to deal with without having to deal with my ultraconservative parents right now besides Im not seeing anybody so I dont see the point.

EvilForce, I'm also 37 years old so I know what you must have went through being part of the organization during the 80s. Sometimes I wonder what I would have done differently had I started out as a young man and not in the truth and didn't pursue a "worldly education" at that time and now that we are "so close to the end of the present wicked system of things". Ironic that elders now have their kids in college as we are even more closer now!

I know what you mean!! I feel I can breathe now!! I dont have to worry about my parents visiting; they always want me to come see them and they dont like driving "in the big city", lol.

jws are always being reminded that you "could" stumble someone.

you had to continuously question yourself about possibly offending another (weak) christian's conscience.....were you always worried that you were going to get into trouble because you might've screwed up somehow??.

EvilForce, Thanks so much. You are a great source of encouragement and I don't feel so alone now with what I am going/went through. I had to just eventually move away from my hometown to find out who I am.

New Light that you can masterbate? LOL!! wonderful if they will ever adopt the "don't ask, don't tell" concept; yeah, I was constantly walking on eggshells as a witness, especially since most of my relatives were witnesses and there were 2 good size congregations in the small town (less than 9000) in it and you lived in a fishbowl.

Evil Force, you sound just exactly like me having been a JW for years and single and having to be celebate and gay and not being able to feel you can explore your sexuality and still feel guilty about it. This is my first post here and now I feel there are people out there like me who I can relate to. But getting back to the topic, men and women can just be friends. I remember when I was young that question coming up in the Young People Ask section of Awake and I had a best "girl friend" whom I have grown up with and that is all I could see in our future was just friends, her being like a sister. I couldn't for the life of me believe that "the society" had that point of view. I don't think I have been into a kingdom hall since 1996 so that is how long I have faded.
