I don't like playing games so the direct approach works for me!! If i am interested in someone i say so!!
Paula
generally i find that if a girl is interested in me she makes it quite obvious by her actions and words.
i'm fine with this.
however there are times when a i really can't tell and this is the problem i'm grappling with at the moment.

i have been invited to a birthday party by a close friend.
should i go?is it not o.k to go?why should'nt i go?.where is it written in the jw religion that i should not attend my close friends party.
is this not a moral delema as oposed to a religous belief.
My JW boyfriend came to my sister's birthday party Sun. night, 4/30/06 and he really enjoyed hisself!! I gave everyone "seven people" a card that said a little something about my relationship with them which they really enjoyed! The one i gave my boyfriend said something about our seven year relationship!

i have been reading all of the feed back for saddler and the others.
i too have been in a relationship with a jw for a little over a year.
i love her very much but all the abuse i have taken over the pass year from her elders, uncles, grandfather...etc has really taken it's toll on me.
Hi Eve
I'm to am in love with a JW and i am not a JW! We have been in this relationship for the past seven years! He to sneaks around to see me and denies to anyone who dares to ask that we are in a relationship! About 1 1/2 years ago i told his family but not his church about us and they told him that if he continued to be with me they would shun him so he is still hiding me!!
I know what it is like to be in love with a lying, sneaking, selfish, good for nothing man who claims he is a good JW!!
Paula
would you give up your life for someone if you believed that if the shoe were on the other foot---they wouldn't do it for you??
?
Yes!
mary!!!!
her treat.

Hi Mouthy!
Paula
my jw friend seems to be unusually immature when it comes to relationships and women.
i don't think he's ever had a serious relationship with a woman (he's 23).
he uses the terms "womens" when he speaks about women, and he uses the word "boobies.
I can only comment on how my boyfriend acts because he is still a JW! He also was raised in a strict family of JW's and because of the way they felt about sex a person can only go one of two ways when they get old enough and that is to go against the church or obey all the rules of their church!
My boyfriend choose to break many of his church's rule before and after his divorce because his parents/church was too strict!! I'm sure his church still has a strong hold on him because he still hides our relationship from EVERYONE in his life!! Also, he fears his family shunning him the worst!!
Paula
do you think a jw man or woman would make a better spouse for someone compared to a "wordly" person?
not that many jws would want to marry non jws but it would be interesting to discuss such an issue to see what comes up.
some may argue that a jw spouse is more likely to be loyal and gentle but there are also many pitfalls with jws.
My boyfriend is an active JW and when he was married "not now tho" his wife was not a witness but she became one later in their marriage!! I can't help but think, what a waste because after all she did for him he ended up cheating on her many times in their relationship!! So she divorced his but!
Paula
a recent study published today says that women who marry or move in with a partner start to pile on the pounds?.
i wonder if the saying is true - "a single woman gets home from work exhausted.
looks at what's in the refridgerator and goes to bed.
Both times i married i gained weight and when i divorced them i lost it real fast!!
Paula
this obviously is my first post, i actually feel like i may be sick but i felt compelled to post.
only if to just say hello.. my life has been anything but boring, pioneered for years, brought several family members into "the truth", and find myself unable to have studies anylonger because i feel unsure about the stand i have taken all these years.. i was previously married, my husband left the organization for various reason, we divorced and i recently remarried another brother, he is a wonderful man and husband, i care for him deeply we and had been friends for 15 years.
i also have a son from my first marriage who is 4, he is the love of my life, recently my son had an opertion that could require a blook transfusion and to be honest i could never deny him that.
Welcome Unclear and Looking_Glass
Pull up a chair, take off your shoes and stay awhile! You all come back now, ya hear!!
Paula
i think you are all going to get a kick out of this, .
for those of you that don't know me, i have been out of the organization for almost 4.5 years but i have never been disfellowshipped nor have i disassociated myself.. last night after going out to a nice italian resturaunt with my girlfriend, father, and step-mom,( who never were part of the organization in the first place) my girlfriend and i said goodbye to them and we began the trip back to her place, which is 2.5 hours away.
before we got on the turnpike she said, "that she had to use the restroom and could i please stop off somewhere.
Hi general
First, i would like say "welcome to the forum"! I can't help it but what you said made me laugh! Like, how dare they!!! What you said kinda reminds me of what happened when a JW who lives in the Senior building in front of me found out i was dating a Witness! BTY, i have never been a JW but am in love with one for the past seven years!!
Anyway, when she found out she accused me of trying to distroy a "good man" and take him away from the church, blah blah blah!! Since then she stakes herself outside his apt. which is just across the street from me as well!! I laugh at her but my boyfriend is afraid of her because he is hiding me from EVERYONE!!
