Let's see here:
1976-1985(?) Montbello Congregation (Denver, CO) I can't remember exactly the cingregation was forced to split into two b/c it got too ig, and so my family and I were assigned to the "new" congregation, Parkfield, until 1990...the year I got out.

Hi Princess:
I agree with the othe rposters about runnung from this guy. True, you could have a chance to wean him away from the JWs, but i don't think so.
If this guy has had sex with you twice after others had found out about his "indiscretions" and fornication and he hasn't told them, then he's a sneaky one.

So, let's say for argument's sake, you stay together.

Scenario one: He quits and stays with you. It seems to me that the stage is ripe for him to statrt pimping around on the down low (are you all saying that still in America?) and do you think he would tell you the truth? Remember, in the JWs' thinking, the Organization comes before all other humans...inclduing you. If he can't tell them the truth, what does that say about you?

Scenario Two: You join the JWs. You have to give you r life as you know it now: friends, habits that are frowned upon by JWs, holidays, family, etc. You as a woman are expected to show men such respect that isn't allowed any more by mainstream American society b/c it's sexist. Even though my mother never followed that path -- she wores the pants in the family, but be prepared that if you "step out of line" in your honey's eyes that the possibility of physical abuse won't arise. And it seems that JWs keep that kinda of thing hushed, and if you went outside of the Organization for relief, you would be ridiculed if the elders to do so. You spend your time having to fill in hours in door-to-door ministyr work.
Your sex life as woman is ruled by JW doctrine. Guys have it a little bit easier, but not by that much. So, let's say that two of you do something outside the norm. He feels guilty, but you have to submit to the witch hunt and endure having to answer humiliating questions while (from what I understand from other posters) the male gets only a few questions, like: "Do you feel remorse?" "Did you do it?"

This sounds like torture, doesn't it?
But hey Princess, you're young...just 22. There's plenty of nice guys out here "in the world".

Elders' Gems of Wisdom

my dad asked the co about this one.

mat 27:52-53. and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, .

and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

When I was about 12, I remember this time one elder I really liked was really passionate about his speech about the dangers of foul speech...in his excitement, he put up his finger to say, "point number one" which was his habit, but unfortunately, he used his middle finger.
I mean it was sooooo silent for a moment, you could hear a pin drop, and then the snickers from a couple of wise-ass teens. The elder was wondering what all the snickering was about.
I started laughing, and my mother whcked me a good one. But it was funny, ya gotta admit.
