  2. relationships

  my other half's sister is dating a wb, (i'm a wg), she wants to know how to deal with all of us strange worldly people (she's says this with a humph).

  her boyfriend, is being very male, problem is my darling jw half agreed (my turn to humph and sulk, go to the fridge and get a beer for me only).. they haven't quite made the step to look here themselves, so they asked me to look for them, i told them they are wusses .

  anybody have anything for me to print out for them, not too nasty about us worldly lot.

  Self Mutilation - In A "Spiritual Paradise"? Awake Feb '06

  by metatron in

  1. jw

  i found this latest article in the awake to be quite remarkable.

  while they try to explain cutting yourself as a sickness in the world, it.

  nevertheless makes clear that some witness kids are committing this self multilation, too.

  Jo-Jo a tattoo sounds like a good idea.

  My sister also a cutter (alot younger than me, never knew I did it till I found her unconcious down at the stables. I left home when she was 13 and went to Europe), I got her a tattoo cover the worst of the scars (scar tissue is a little hard for the tattoo artist to cover), she is now addicted to tattoos.

  To the others out there lots of love to you. Stay strong

  Hi Jgnat

  My soon to be sister-in-law's boyfriend is just being a mere male as in below:

  We have a laundry basket? Where is it, I've never seen it."

  On a more serious note though he is struggling to cope with the fact he hasn't met any of her family other than my other half. Which is why I have sent him to this site. He will be lurking around here somewhere.

  While my dearly beloved's family know about me and are coping with the fact we are together and I WILL NOT study, they may not cope as well with their darling daughter being with a WB (they have 5 children, one already married to a JW, the oldest is with me).

  If, on the other hand, he is having trouble with the exclusiveness and abusiveness of JW relationships (can't go here, EEK hide in the closet, must go there), he has a legitimate beef.

  Both of us worldly pair in these relationships are very open and giving people. We have never had to hide anything in our lives (except when we had to sneak a smoke down in the back shed;).

  What our JW other half's can't cope with is, is our honesty and openness. It's like they don't know anything except how to hide the truth, not lie outright, just not say anything.

  I love your writings, thanks Jgnat.

  Poppers, you seem to be a young person

  Funny, when I read his wisdom, I'd swear he was a thousand years old.

  I agree with JamesThomas.

  Hi Golf

  Thanks, have printed lots of stuff out for them, been lurking around for the last year.

  My other half's sisters bf is here somewhere too. We have often found info to help us non-jw. Not much for the JW to deal with us mad worldly lot though.

  For those with bf or gf who are JW's: How the JW view non JW's

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  2. relationships

  this thread is a quick primer for those who are fairly unfamiliar with the jw, but have found that they are dating someone who is or used to be a jw.

  well just to give you a little background on how jw's view the rest of the non-jw world: they basically see you as a bug.

  you are worldly and certain to bring their loved one death at the hands of god at armageddon.

  Thanks C-Y-P

  As a non-christian loving a JW (sometimes fading), this is great. I choose to be with him not to SAVE him. I printed this off for him. We are pretty open. He has his moments and as perfect as I am, I have mine. ;)

  This site with this sort-of info has been great for us.

  Keep it up and many thanks.

  but you know, i still cut myself. it doesn't mean you want to really harm yourself, it just means you want to escape for a bit. the pain comes back worse than before, but like any addiction, you keep doing it because the relief is, for a few moments, beautiful.

  Yeap, sometimes I catch myself thinking about cutting instead of crying. Crying's ok. But people can see you been crying. Cutting can be done out of site and it hurts only me.

  Like Lady Lee said it's to deaden the emotional pain. I am a reforming cutter, physical pain is soooooo much easier to deal with than emotional pain. I never cut where anyone could see, but I did do it as a so called adult, only occasionally in my late teens.

  I'm afraid JW's don't have the all of emotional pain, they just seem to have more condensed within a group than many other groups in society.

  Hi Star welcome

  This is a great place for info, with regards to being involved with a JW. I have been invovled with my beloved for a while now and I am sure I drive him as nuts as he sometimes drives me. (He hasn't got it figured that I as a woman am ALWAYS right;).

  But seriously take the time to look through this place, look for Jgnat's writings. Set boundary's for both of you.

  Engima you're right should be a auto button for us crazies who fall in love. I lurked here for quite awhile and got some ideas on how to deal with blood issue etc. The response I got made me feel not so alone. Even if it does drive you nuts.
