well me and my b.f met a year ago through mutual friends at a rock concert in london...we clicked instantly and i was very attracted to him as id never met someone so nice who i got on with that well i liked at the same time.
an over the next few months saw each other a few times but only as friends as we lived on opposite ends of the country....we stayed in touch via text.
then the texts gradually faded out.
yeh i find it hard for us to 'talk' properly as i have to really carefulwith my words not to offend.....wenever i ask him how does he know its the truth he says that he believes because the bible is the worlds oldest book so there has to be truth in it!! to be honest i dont think that they make all their rules from the bible they must has been re interpretated along the way somewhere am i right?

because i have told many people about the watchtower bible and tract society's affiliation with the united nations i have reproached the name of jehovah according to my ex-wife.
when i mentioned to her that it was the watchtower bible and tract society who had done the dirty deed with the un and that i was just the messenger she blew up and told me that it was all my fault that jehovah's good name had been reproached.
if it wasn't so pathetic that the dubs really believe the wtbts can do no wrong and anyone who exposes their hypocrisy and dirty deeds is bringing reproach on jehovah it would almost be funny enough to put them on late-night tv.
ah now i get it...this organization is so crazy!!! DO THEY TEND TO PREY ON THEIR RECRUITS WHEN THEY ARE WEAK?

sorry am a newbie !! are dubs like witnesses?
it sounds to me like they are just moving the blame onto someone else as long as its not on themselves? surely you personally cant be responsible?

aw thanks guys so glads i found this place!!!
no theres no way of me ever becoming a J.W an i think he knows this...what gets me is his grandparents who he lives with are both raving alcoholics therefore he gets drunk quite alot and his grandad even drink drives!!! i rarely get drunk beyond control but they still hate me!!! when i was visiting him last week they wouldnt even have me in the house i had to wait outside while he got changed!! how christian is that!!! i really dont understand them!!! am gonna get that book i think though coz he is a very intelligent person and they preyed on him when he was at a low point in his life...unemployed no money for rent or food and they took him in housed him etc so he was quite impressionable but im not gonna let it take over my life or anythin!!

hello everyone!!! well me and my b.f met a year ago through mutual friends at a rock concert in london...we clicked instantly and i was very attracted to him as id never met someone so nice who i got on with that well i liked at the same time
an over the next few months saw each other a few times but only as friends as we lived on opposite ends of the country....we stayed in touch via text. then the texts gradually faded out. then about feb time i was drunk at a student house party so plucked up the courage to text him...i got no reply for about a week then suddenly a phone call sayin that he had decided to become a J.W(his family are J.W'S but he never followed it.
so we chatted an it was just like old times....we stayed in regular contact via texts..letters..phonecalls and recently we have been meeting up as he nows lives about an hour and half away from me....on our first meeting he confessed his feelings for me as i did for him and things have just been progressing from their....he seemed just like the same guy i loved when i first met but recently his elders have told him that he cant progress while he is seeing me..even as a friend..he says that he loves me and is willing to be with me but i dunno whether it would be best to end it now and save myself from heartbreak further down the line?
Anyone who used to follow this religion what will happen if we carry on seeing each other and what really are the beliefs on relationships with a non J.W? I REALLY want to know but all the books he has given me are ridiculously biased and wenever i ask him he just goes funny and avoids the subject!!!
thanks guys ellie x
i can recall from a very early age, that before just about every meeting, our family would be on edge while getting ready.
often some of the very worst of our personalities would show themselves.
we would argue and sometimes be downright verbally abusive with each other.
hi there an new here from the u.k..recently a boy who i have been close to for a while has become a J.W.....i am going to visit him soon an i said i would go along to a meeting with him.....i know there is no danger of me being brainwashed as i dont agree with the teachiongs but i just wanna know wat goes on an what to expect!!!!!!if anyone knows then please reply as im feeling rather nervous!!
thanks so much elouise x
