  Nosferatu's School of Dating - Lesson 2.2 - Building Rapport

  by Nosferatu in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  since many have commented that lesson 2.1 has "no feeling", portrays the individual as an abuser, and all the other negative comments, i decided to cover rapport next.. the unfortunate thing is i can only give you tips on how to build good rapport.

  i will not be giving you magic lines that will make her fall in love with you.

  it's your own personality, your enthusiasm, your wit, your sense of humor, your creativeness, and your imagination that has to do the actual work.. many people will tell you "forget about all these tips, tricks and techniques.

  Anyone else end up on a JC after losing their virginity?

  by yaddayadda in

  yep, i did.

  i got 'privately reproved' after rushing to the elders to confess my sin after losing my virginity via fornicating.

  i think all that shame and guilt and legalism that flowed on from that experience must've f*cked me up a bit, scuse the pun.

  Lack of gatherings means the congregation only exists in the Kingdom Hall

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is the situation with my congregation and i wonder if it is the same with yours.. as many of you know, the watchtower is not known for organising social gatherings of any kind for relaxation or enjoyment.. many of us only come into contact with witnesses while going to meetings and going out on field service.. as soon as you leave the hall, the congregation ceases to exist, in my mind anyway.. when you go back to the hall, the congregation exists, but only for the time you are there.. think about it - you spend 2 hours sitting and perhaps 10 minutes talking during each meeting.

  if you have no friends in the hall that you see on a regular basis, then you feel like you're on your own until the next meeting.. .

  my point is this: for those who still go but are not invited out anywhere, particularly if they are fading, do you feel that the congregation only exists in the kingdom hall?

  Have you recovered financially since leaving the Tower?

  by lovelylil in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  remember how many families (maybe even yours) struggled with money issues while being a jdub?

  i remember lots of families under stress due to being jdubs.

  you are always told by the tower not to work overtime if it conflicts with the meetings and not to go for higher education, for the same reason.

  2. friends

  i had no idea what to expect!...................as in the case of most jws.

  since sex is strickly forbidden before marriage.

  at the time (1970's) kissing was even frowned at too.

  2. friends

  this is a nice big open board, thought i'd throw myself out there.. recently i had been a part of the "e-jehovah's witness" board.

  especially as i don't think i even care that much anymore.

  well, 3 weeks after that she cheated again, with a different guy.
