139The Loved Up Thread [Fluff]
by diamondblue1974 init might have escaped your notice but sirona and i are totally in love and seem to have a mutual appreciation society thing going on; however this has not taken place without causing some online problems as some of you might be aware.. both dawn (sirona) and i are conscious that we have hijacked a number of threads given our perpetual state of being loved up.
given the untold frustration we might have caused to some posters we have decided to launch our very own jwd loved up thread.. this hopefully should allow threads to go on being productive without the frustration of people (us) whispering online sweet nothings and flirting and we therefore invite you all to use this thread if you are loved up, have similar mutual appreciation societies or simply wish to flirt with other online posters.
you can even use this thread to dedicate a post to someone who isnt online and who just lightens your life and makes you smile.. please join us and reassure us that we are not the only loved up people on jwd.. .

My favorite movie is The Matrix, for lots of reasons. My fav TV programmes are pretty brit-tastic so aplogies if you havent heard of Afterlife, Spooks, Little Britian, The Office (you get that on your side of the pond dont ya? You guys made a good version of it too), Extras, The Fast Show, Big Train, The Mary Whitehouse Experience and Jossie's Giants.

My story (very long)
by reneeisorym inwe all went to the same kingdom hall.
another thing that bothered me was the lack of love.
i was bothered that the arguments and logic of the society commonly made little sense.

Thanks for all your comments, I do feel a bit better. And bigmouth, thanks for adding to the 'debate' lol.
New Boy- Well, back when I was a JW I wished I could have been a footballer (soccer player to everyone else) and you see when footballers turn 30 its not long before they think about retiring... so I guess I always judge myself agewise against that, so feel "past it" approaching 30. Obviously I'm not a footballer I decided to get baptised instead (dumbest decision ever looking back).
So its not long now.... thanks for all your words, they have helped a lot.... ultimately I need to stop feeling sorry for myself.............................................................................................. and buy some slippers!!!

I am still AMAZED at how much I have learned and keep learning
by megsmomma inthis board has helped me so much in clearing my head and becoming myself.
i feel like i used to be such a shell of a person......and when i would hear the things the wtbts taught....i just numbly took it in and didn't really even really "hear" what they said.
then, i was so well "trained" to respond to questions from people that i could give the "right" answers to questions from studies....."wait on jehovah...." being a common one.. after i left years ago...i still wasn't free from the teachings.

Megsmomma- I know exactly what you mean! I truly felt it was like waking up after a weird deep sleep. I owe a huge debt to this website.

Here's a silly thought.
by AK - Jeff inby mutual collusion we could drain a little money from the wts coffers, and perhaps stop them from making that convert they seek.. plan;.
every apostate here that is unknown in his/her territory by the local witnesses, shows interest in having the wts literature when they come around the next time.
don't carry on much conversation, just take all the lit they will give you and show enough interest to get them coming back.

I might consider this, but only if I move to a house that requires 'real fuel' for now I've got central heating...

JW teenage pregnancies...............did you know of any ?
by vitty ini was in the borg for 20 of my adult years and i must say that in all that time i only knew of one sister who got pregnant before she was married.
she was given a public reproof and was never treated badly.. considering a lot of the teenagers did most things they shouldnt have and many did get reproved for immorality, i am surprised that many didnt get pregnant.
especially as they would of likely not have been taking contraception.. was this common in you kh or area?.
