Let me correct my latest post first.
>My brother is an active JW and stay single, I remember I wish to marry very much.
My brother is an active JW and stay single, I remember he wished to marry very much.
Thank you, evita. Just after I was disfellowshiped, I thought JW had truth, believed their teachings. That's why I kept attending meetings and after marrige I was suffered from fear of Armageddon. Before and after DF, I kept struggling to choose which one I would associate with...JWs (5 million worldwide including my family) or my dearest. Finally I chose my husband.
For about three years I haven't checked any of JW related sites since it was prohibited, even I was DFd, I was kept by that rule. I have no one to ask for a advice regarding my JW parent issues. My husband is very kind but he hates them because of their attitude.
I couldn't go along with his parent well. I lost all the friends as they were JWs. New friends I couldn't tell about my experience or the fact I was belonging to the org. Once they told me loveless words regarding my parent, I was very shocked and I knew no one without JW experience could understand my feelings even my husband. Then I tried to see ex-JW sites. That was about 2 years ago. -

What do JWs teach about survival of Armageddon....As of non-JW spouse?
by windchime ina friend of mine asked me what do they teach regarding non-believers' future.
can they survive it (probably because of good deed of jw wife or husband)?
it should be different in case of the partner is friendly to jw and its belief or persecutors.

Thanks zeroday, I myself think so, too. I remember being a JW is minimal prerequisite and not all JWs won't be survive, no?
Do you have a source from specific WT article, especially refer to non-believer spouse and Armageddon? Please let me know. -

Thank you for your quick respond, itsallgoodnow!
In JP, too many sisters comparing brothers and it is hard to find her own. One sister said to one brother, sisters twice of the truck load! Of course a brother popular amongs the girls may MS, Elders or bethelites. It seemed to me sisters those who marry around me did pioneering and their husbands were MS, Elders or to-be. I have heard a parents who has daughter bought a car for bethelite brother. My brother is an active JW and stay single, I remember I wish to marry very much. -

Appreciate for the comments. Ashamed of not being pioneer is one of my background. I sometimes doubt myself that I don't do all I can.
I found a man who was my superior at the office, he came my hometown far from his home, worked until midnight every day. At first, to tell the truth, I didn't want to be under his supervision. It seems that he was considered not very capable man by others. But as working close to him, he worked as much as he could and tried to protect his staff. I decided to do what all I could to support him.
As I was taking care of him too much, I love him. He did knew that I was a JW and the factory we worked for many JWs engaged in. He took my kindness because I was religious person.
Later he confessed me that he loved me and we met private some time. I was so happy that was my first exprience dating and so on, even I was in early 30's at that time. But on the other hand, I was so afraid that Jehovah should have know all the things and someday it would be opened. My conscience pricks me much.
One day I confessed my deed to pioneering sister and PO. Then my parents came to know about it. My father suddenly required me call him in the midnight. I couldn't refuse for fear he would call office to ask his flat. He came my home for me. My father preached him for a few hours and it did hurt him very much.
Actually I had Judicial Commitee twice. As first one, I could avoid DF under condition, separate him including resignation my job. I supported him very much in the office, he begged me don't quit, even he and I won't associate privately any longer. I was so scared to be cut off from my family, congregation and organization I had no choice at that time. (He still blame me about that.)
Yet I couldn't get away from him. I made second confession myself which led to another JC. My mother blamed me since my father couldn't sleep or eat for a few days. Second JC made me DF.
After DF I continued to attend every meeting because I didn't lose faith as a JW. Of course I was in love with him. My parents followed my association since they wanted me to forget him and come back to cong. I felt I lie on a bed of nails when I was at home. Finally we decided to marry and I stopped to attend the meetings because he wanted me not to. -

Death and Ex-JWs
by Mysterious init's a long weekend so it's time to bring out a big issue, death.
i know it's something most ex-jws (at least for a while) struggle with when they exit the organization.
i think a weird moment for me was yesterday when my boyfriend's parents called.

Last week I lost my grandmother. She was 85. She loved me very much, and I was very sad and cried some time, until her funeral's end.
From her point of view, I thought she fully enjoyed her life after her husband passing away 20 years ago. She was very outgoing and lots of friends, contributed to local activities. So her death makes me ponder about how I live until the end.
