UBMs - why do we love JWs??

by Super_Becka in

i think there's been a thread on this before, but i figured i'd ask again.. for all of the ubms out there, why is it that we love witnesses??

what is it about them that we find so attractive??

why are we putting ourselves through this mess when we know full-well that there are lots of non-jws out there who would be better for us??.

Becka I don't know you so please to not take this as a judgement in any way

I always find myself falling for a guy who needs a lot of work but that I'm crazy about anyway.

I have a serious problem with this. People don't need work. I mean we are with who we are with for who and what they are. This human need to "make people better" is troublesome. I have been in relationships where this was an underlying goal. It hurt and I am sick from it. I am what I am for good reason. The changes I make to my organism are changes that I deem necessary because of some event or occurence which makes me believe that such a change is required. Sometimes that comes in the form of people bringing things to my attention. Usually though it is some inward work that I have done that brings about such changes. To want to conform someone to your will or your ideals of what would be "better" is not the most productive way to express your love for them.

i will echo the previous. a truly amazing piece of film work. but paying attention is completely necessary. you'll lose a lot if you don't pay attention to all of the players in the story

If the society says jump...................you say

by wannaexit in

well the c.o was visiting the congregation a few weeks ago and he made an interesting comment.. he said that years ago when the society said "jump" the brothers would respond "how high?.

now when the society says "jump" the brothers ask "why"?.

this tells me that the walls of this spiritual paradise are cracking and that many are not willing to put up with all the crap that jw's of the past did.. what do you think?

coolhandluke

yeah see, i heard this crap different. i had this co who said once that when the society asks us to jump we don't even ask how high, we jump as high as possible

wanna hear the worst part? i completely and totally bought into it.

TV series&movies-CURSING!!!

by BlessedStar in

how do you feel about tv shows & movies at present?.

do you think it is appropriate for children to be viewing comedies with cursing and sexual encounters?.

don't you think movies have more cursing even though they are rated "g"?.

the march 1 watchtower's cover asks the question, "where can you find christ's teachings?".

meanwhile, in the very same magazine, we get 2 study articles containing the following:.

Jehovah baby: you were my better-half, but just an invitation to the blues.

by tetrapod.sapien in

losing jehovah was like losing a girlfriend that you loved.

you barely had time to flinch when you found out that she had been sleeping with all your friends and stealing your records to pawn off.

that you had just been another sucker on the vine.. when jehovah dumps you, you start looking at yourself longer and harder, and wondering what it was about him that you found in yourself, until all you see there in the reflection is just yourself, dancing with an imaginary hand and waistline.. when jehovah was gone, and the war was over, i realized that all the things that had made me "good", and "moral", and "hate what was bad", didn't mean anything to me anymore.

Help!

okay am i the only one that has noticed how many people have shown up here during the last week or so asking for advise regarding dating a jw?

so whats the best advise you have to give people that are dating witnesses?.

post it here.. mine would be.

coolhandluke

Honestly, I think people date Jehovah's Witnesses because on the surface they seem different in all of the right ways: Personable, respectful, family oriented, kind, principled, of moral fiber... I could go on.

I think the board does a good job of sympathizing with people. Truly all we want from a love interest is to be challenged, understood, valued and appreciated as the unique individuals that we are.

I realize that you are joking with your reponses, but the human component in the requests of these people begs of our sympathy, our humanity and our understanding. It isn't an opportunity for bashing a way of life that we once embraced, but is one to help someone see the choice that many of us in similar circumstance didn't realize we truly had.
