  I'm Dating . . .

  by compound complex in

  1. social
  2. humour

  because i am still very much held a prisoner to past beliefs and practice, i dress in suit and tie and bring a briefcase on my frequent dates.. i talk business during the entire happy meal (macdonalds), displaying ad brochures and spreadsheets relative to whatever business plan i happen to be hawking that day.

  i count the venture as a business expense and jws who frequent this fine diner know i am not on a date.

  there are no smirks, no snickering, no knowing glances.

  Thank you, millie210, but you are too kind.

  I live in a funny, strange world where the border between reality and fantasy bleeds and blends, one into the other.

  Always nice hearing from you!

  Thanks, LV101:

  The basic premise is true, the details are a wee bit exaggerated!

  Essentially, I was living in two worlds and had to step out of one, into the other, and vice versa. Now, I come and go as I please and whoever is my friend is my friend. Nothing to hide, nor do I care to.

  Best Wishes.

  Thank you, Blondie:

  It's been a few years since I've "studied" THE WATCHTOWER. Some information I had been wondering about is here, nicely set out and easy to read. Good comments, too.

  Thanks, NY44 and Bobcat, for your replies.

  The above is based on fact, when I was asked out on dates. I did bring along a briefcase. As much as possible, I said "no" to dinner dates that took place in a restaurant.

  Our restaurants are always loaded with JWs and they knew I could not remarry (per their rules).

  Since I can finally laugh over love lost, this thread is meant to be in the humor category.

    My table mates -- there are many, but not all on the same night -- will, on occasion, ask me, "How do I look?" or "May I have cheese on my burger?" I am not distracted from my goal to have a nice night out, chatting up a most willing audience, and ending the night hearing a warm "thank you," and receiving a firm, parting handshake.

    There is no doubt in my mind that I am well within the confines of Jehovah's sheep pen.

  My self-worth hinges on getting a "like."

  My morale is very, very low now . . .

  kind of got into it with my jw wife last night for the first time in a long time.. i try to not engage in conversations about doctrinal matters unless she asks me which she did.. anyway, i wont go into details but of course i am "not going to change her mind" and "why is it that you can't see when very smart people can?

  " yada yada yada.

  you probably can imagine.. it makes me so depressed.

  Greetings, NikL:

  I'm sorry about what you're going through, having been through the same, although I'm no longer married.

  I hope you get many replies and will feel a sense of solidarity with us, as a result. Despite many tries of returning to "THE TRUTH" (because I couldn't bear to leave my friends and family), I am out totally. The only contact I have with them now is on Facebook, where I mind my theocratic p's and q's.

  Best Wishes . . .

  Isn't a real man the guy who says, "I'm sorry. I'll make it right"?
