i recently started dating this guy, tonight he wants to come over and spend the night with me.
but he absourlutly refuses to make any other plans to see me beyond that!.
is this normal?
but it is scaring me a little though...
Pay attention to your feelings here.
If he is mad because he isn't getting any and making you feel even a little bit scared.
It's time to cut him off completely, including texting and phone calls.
Run, don't walk

The man is being dishonest with you, if he is using a fake name.
In my opinion, you have to have your standards, even with just a f*ck buddie.
Honesty comes first.
jehovah's witnesses are the only people that will inherit life on paradise earth.
only jehovah's witnesses have the ''truth''.
the wts is the only ''channel' 'to jehovah.
I had rock solid faith.
The facts not adding up wasn't a concern because I knew I had the truth.
was looking for something else but ran into this-great vid imho :).
witnessing- jehovah witness gets saved.
blessings,.
Very few X-JW's ever make it back to a real relationship with God and accepting Christ. It's like the JW's have poisioned then against anything
This is an unfare generalization and demeaning.
I have done plenty of research upon leaving the JW's and everyone else I know that has exited has too. I would have gladly embraced christianity if I could find one thing that shows the Bible is from God.
Terry has a thread about it, just one little bit of proof, that's all we ask.
Simply relying on faith is no different then squeezing your eyes shut, sticking your fingers in yours ears and repeating I believe I believe I believe...........
I want to belive their is an omnipotent being that has everything under control and will ultimately right every wrong. You have no idea how much I want to believe that.
But I see no evidence whatsoever.
And if you have evidence then you need to post it on Terrys thread so we all can see it and become believers too.
on another thread, i just said that i refuse to pander to the cult sensibilities of visiting jws by wording my posts in a way that will not offend them.. i am convinced that any dyed in the wool jw, will be offended by any of the "apostate" content of this board, no matter how witness friendly the words and phrases actually used.. even now, i can see a jw being offended by the word "cult".. they are also no doubt offended by the suggestion that they have "sensibilities" rather than true beliefs that should be respected.. they are offended that i disagree with them and see the need to start a thread like this.. if it scares away a reniaa, it will save us endless wasted hours dealing with hijacked and derailed threads.. and, actually if a jw is offended by my way of dealing with the damage, it is a pity they can't respect my own feelings.. i am not in the business of saving people from themselves.
those who leave the wt organisation do so because they are ready to and are sick of it.

I think it depends on why you are here.
If you post here to help other people, then yes, I think we should be careful how we word things, and be incredibly patient.
However if your here for recovery, then I think it is very important that we be able to freely express ourselves, even to the point of going on a rant.
I think the recovery comes first and the helping others comes second.

here is a dramatic statement: .
The door to door work is another way the society keeps the rank and file busy, busy busy.
All cults keep their adherants busy
A member who doesn't have tons of busywork to do is a member who has to much time for non-cult activities that may lure them away.
And most importantly, staying very busy keeps you from thinking clearly.

"What is the one teaching that was taught in 1919 that convinced Jesus that Rutherford and Co were suitable as the FDS ?"
I have asked that of a number of long time Dubs and had no answer.
The only answer I could get from a JW with your question is " We weren't teaching the trinity"
hello all my jwn friends.. .
i felt the need to share what i have heard recently.
i have a very close friend who has a brother who is an economist.
