My heart goes out to this family. Such a horrific tragedy.

I went thru a similar thing but took 19months to find the body of the missing friend (daughter of the PO). That murder has never been solved but those first 19 months were the worst as there was no closure until her body was found.

my father passed around 9 this morning.

he'd been in poor health for some time, but it still comes as a shock to have him gone.

we are going to miss him terribly.

Serious Question

by Prisca in

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??!!
