  Serious Question

  by Prisca in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  as we all know the society has very strict guidelines regarding conduct between the sexes.

  in the cong i grew up in, it was so small-minded that if you were single, and seen talking to a member of the opposite sex, you were presumed to be in some sort of relationship with him/her.. sex before marriage is out of the question, with heavy petting also looked down upon.

  dating is a serious affair, with all onlookers expecting engagement/marriage to be the outcome.

  @Still Recovery -

  Is there something you wanted to add to this OLD thread? Must be something for you to have searched it and posted 5+ times.

  But your comments are showing up.

  You know when they said you should wait 2 years before you witness to anyone?

  (at least i heard that from a lot when i came in, though only in jest).

  i think it's true for those who leave.. you need time to be with your own thoughts, time to heal before you try to talk to anyone.. .

  if you don't, you'll just confirm what's on the minds of those who fear where you've gone.. .

  Yes. My mother used to say that alot - new JWs should not be allowed to talk to anyone for a year.

  In over-zealousness, the presentation is just waayy too emotional and off-putting.

  When I first found JWD/N, I wanted to share what I learned with a few relatives who were semi-out. Turns out they were pretty strong apologists. LOL! Who knew??!!

  I was just interviewed by CNN Money

  by Confession in

  2. current

  it's for their annual feature, "surprising six figure jobs.

  " had the interview been longer, i'd have loved to mention the need to carve out a career, despite my religion and parents' lack of support for an education.. cnn money - "surprising six figure jobs".

  here's my website, if you'd like to listen to my voice demos and read my blog.

  Looking to reconnect with some friends in the San Diego area

  2. experiences

  i moved to san diego over 10 years ago and was still active at the time.

  since that time however, i have executed a nearly perfect fade.

  i would like to see if i can get in touch with some of the friends i had made in that short amount of time to see if they are still going or possibly have opened their eyes as well.. i went to the pacific beach congregation for quite some time and also knew/visited several friends in the kearny mesa and spring valley halls.

  @ Flying High - Yes. Other parties, too.

  Looks like without JWN votes, it would have been a tie or a loss. Y'all are just awesomeness.
