  Reasons for having a "Worldly" boy/girlfriend while still in?

  by damselfly in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when i was a still a teenage jw ( sounds like a bad b movie drive in flick ) i had a "worldly" boyfriend.

  i didn't want anything to do with the jw's but knew i wasn't strong enough to just walk away.

  he became the focus of my family's hatred and the reason they believed i left (nothing could have been farther from the truth) this helped me to avoid explantions of why i didn't believe.

  Explain 1 Chronicles 16: 30; Psalms 104:5; Psalms 37: 9, 11, 22, 29, 34

  .

  if i remember correctly, these and other scriptures like it support the belief of "paradise on earth" inhabited by righteous people forever.

  sorry to make you pull out your bibles, but do these verses confirm that the earth will always exist (i.e., never totter) and that the righteous will live on it forever?

  hope springs eternal in the wts.

  despite having left before even being baptized, i would have to say my parents still wholeheartedly believe i will someday come around, .

  get baptized, become active and maybe even become an elder !

  meeting jehovah's witnesses at your door was a fresh, new experience.

  What do you see when you look in the mirror?

  by findingmyway in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i look at myself in the mirror i see a different person than i saw a few years ago.

  also, when i look at photos of myself from a few years back, i don't even know myself.

  not that i look that much different physically -- it has something to do with the eyes.

  by findingmyway in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  well, the time has come to explain my former jw life to my boyfriend of almost 2 years.

  he's getting a bit tired of being there for me during my meltdowns and not knowing or fully understanding why i am having a meltdown.

  i can no longer explain it as pms...he knows me too well now.
