51Sorry, I need to vent for a moment...
by Abandoned innormally, i don't mind where i'm at in my life.
i'm forty, no kids, low-paying job, live in a trailer court, etc (and trust me there's more to the etc, then i've already mentioned), but today i had a hard time.. one of my best friends from high school was a big dope head (no offense to the dope heads out there).
he showed up nearly every day to our first period art class smelling of weed and was generally so whacked out of his mind that he got horrible grades.. he finally graduated - barely - and made it to college.

Impossible Situation?Of Course it did not work!
by smily inso i agreed to have a look at all this jw stuff just to save our relationship and after all that iam still not good enough!
well iam sure this is not a surprise to all you wise people here but i still dont understand....i never did think love conquered all...but ....he feels that as he is having doubts it must be wrong..i asked him what was more important-what i believed in or who i really was as a person?
he said i just dont understand...of course it was most important what i believed in and he cannot see himself living his life with anyone who is not fully in the truth!

Impossible situation! Can it ever work?
by smily inwell, things have moved on...my jw man has been agonizing over whether he should be seeing me or not?!
if i was a jw it would all be different?!
is that not like saying if i was not "black,american,german,white ect" surely this is racism of some kind?

Is it really that difficult to leave?
by smily inmy friend is a jw born and raised and has been disfellowshiped.he is unsure if he wants to go back or not but it seems to be such a heart wrenching decison which as a non-jw iam having alot of trouble understanding!
he still goes to meetings and seems to have alot of trouble letting go...i have met alot of his friends and he does not seem to hide me away although he is careful to only see me at certain times.. iam afraid to encourage him to leave as it seems so difficult.i know he feels he would be letting alot of people down but he already does alot he should not like drinking and sports...and seeing me?!.
is it really so difficult?.
