Oh my God! I can't believe that! Not only is that really worng, but it is so sad. Jesus died so we could have communion with him. I am sorry if this sounds overly emotionial but I can hardly believe it.

Argh I can't get all of the new files to work! What am I doing wrong? I listened to the appeal. Wow, they have no idea what they are talking about. And rabbit trails? OVer and over....
Please I would really like to hear the new files too. Any ideas?

Glad to know I am not the only one
by Wendy_Warden ini've been lurking on this board all morning and reading all the articles about dating/having a relationship with a jw.
because, as many people seem to, i find myself in that situation.
i am confused becuase the jw guy is not a very consistent jw in a lot of ways.

When I say I have no choice I mean that I would never feel at peace if I didn't try. If I dumped the whole thing then I would have the assurance that...what? I saved myself when there was no danger of me coverting in the first place? Not having a broken heart? I am afraid that will happen if I walked away to him and me.
I think your right in the approuch that should be used. I know I have to be careful. I never let myself fall in love with anyone beofre because I didn't want a raft of failed romances behind me. That said I went ahead and fell in love with JW. But like I said I would never have bothered if I didn't have a hope of it working out. By the way....how did your family take it when you married your husband? Mine would be livid if I did that. THen they would be sorry and then they would be okay but that could take years....
So what did you do?

Broken Heart,
Thank you! I understand what everyone says about being careful and in most cases I would agree. But in this case we work together and see each other every day. Beside, running away isn't in my character or his. I am counting on that in the area of trying to witness to him. Thanks for your encourgement.

I'm so angry!!!!!!

yesterday afternoon i was in my office when two elders stopped by for a visit.
they came into my job and began to question me in front of my boss and my new assistant!

Wow that sounds like hell on earth (excuse my french) but Iam glad your boss was there for you. If that happened to me I think I would have broken down crying. You did a good job of holding it together despite the circumstances. Go you! And keep holding in there.

I am afraid I have next to no idea what you just tried to say... If you could try and say it again I might be able to say something in the way of an answer. But as yhings stand...uh...I can't answer.
Sorry. Your questions also are a bit strange. Would you explain what you're talking about?

I have been trying to think of ways to witness to him without attacking the watchtower directly. I am sure that would be a bad move because I've heard they like to feel put down. So, I think I might do what you said about asking him to make things clear to me.I mean, I know how I stand on most of those issues, but what I really want is him to question them himself. I know that the chances of my converting him are slim, but I don't think that giving up is a choice. I would feel responsible for not at least trying to help him see his way clear of the Tower. I've been reading books about how to answer the doctrine of the Watchtower and have been trying to be ready should the chance arise to use it.
Thanks so much for all of your help too. I feel totally on my own in so many ways. But like many of you said it is not something to be all touchy feely about. I know I have to be careful of myself first and him second. But since I do care for him I feel like I can't just drop it. If you have anymore suggestions about what I can do to get him looking into materiel exposing JW's I would great appreciate it.

I am confused becuase the JW guy is not a very consistent JW in a lot of ways. I know this because I've been reading up on it. He's in martial arts, has a computer, is going to college and ...well, then there's me. After reading all of your posts I still have a hard time seeing him doing any of these things. He did invit to communion with him but I wasn't able to go becasue of timing. My father would have flipped by the way. He mentions his beliefs in a carefully off hand manner, but I know of we would really get at it ( we have in the past) that he would listen to a certain level.
I am afraid that I cannot talk to my parents about this becasue they would just expect me to drop him and I cannot do that.
