explaining my jehovah's witness past to a potential mate all things considered, this is the one thing that bothers me tremendously.. so much so, that it has kept me out of the dating scene let alone to be.

properly wed. .

MIL Thanks:

Northland did not even dawn on me.

Considering it is less than 3 miles
away that may have some potential.

Thank you.

I wish to apologise to Fe203. My mistake
no hard feelings. In addition, Brandon
you make a case as well.

Sadly, I am still influenced by the
Society's approach. Okay, thank you
for your perspective on the matter.

JW's give advice on how to get rid of apostate literature

by unbeliever in

jw
friends

i know we have had threads on this board about getting rid of jw literature.

they make a lot of the same suggestions, throw it away, use it as liner for the pets, etc but some of their suggestions are down right hilarious.

one poster said the literature should be dipped in acid and one poster said she wipes her dogs butt with apostate literature.. http://ewatchman-exposed.co.uk/research/read.php?t=2196&reply=13#msg13.

Explaining my Jehovah's Witness past to a potential mate

All things considered, this is the one thing that bothers me tremendously.
So much so, that it has kept me out of the dating scene let alone to be
properly wed.

Having been a Jehovah's Witness

How do I explain to a potential mate that for 14 years, I was
captured by an institution called the Watchtower Bible
and Tract Society?

I think it would be easier to say that I lived in a cave for
14 years of my life.

The standard of morals that were taught

Admittedly, though, I loved the standard of high morals that
I applied in my life as a Jehovah's Witness and still adhere
to them. And, I would love to find someone with the same
nice qualities that I am used to.

(*Sigh, I should have been born in the 18th or 19th century).

The world's morals are loose and something I personally
despise. The thought of becoming wrapped up with a can-
didate from the Jerry Springer show mortifies me.

Seeking advice regarding a potential mate

Can any one share some advice on finding a potential
mate and disclosing your past to them?
How did you successfully handle it? Or, did you?
Would you try sites such as e-harmony, match.com
or would you consider an ex-witness first?

Any good advice would be appreciated.

Respectfully,

The Wanderer
