hi everyone, the guy i'm currently dating suffers from social phobia and it's beginning to affect our relationship.

does anyone have any experience dealing with this?

i have to admit this is all new to me, most of the guys i've dated are pretty normal, but this one seems to need some extra care.

being raised as a good witness, i was a virgin until i was married.

of course, the scriptures say one must not commit fornication.

however, i know most teens have sex well before marriage.

If you had to, what religion would you choose to be?
by Crumpet in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
you can answer this as seriously (lt) or as inanely (buttlight) as you like!

i was reflecting having read someone's thread about blowing off non jw family that actually it would have been so much better if i had a larger family, preferably not completely jw saturated and this random train of thought led me to thinking that if i could choose i would be catholic, because then i would have a huge family, go to really nice gothic churches with lots of candles and tortured saints and be able to go to confession (instead of lt's mobile).

also the colours of the whore of babylon always were a lot more enticing to me than the mild blues and undistracting beiges of the khs.. i think we all have religions which would suit our personalities so much better.

thanks so much for the really warm welcome.

just a small confession .. my last post was actually written a couple months ago before i'd gotten the nerve to post.

i copied and pasted it ... and forgot to update it.. my wedding came off in december 2006, and my mom did attend.

hi everyone, i recently joined this forum as i'm close to being df.

i am suppose to meet with a judical committee soon but was thinking that i don't want to go through those personal questions that i'm sure the elders would ask.

does anyone know, is it better to just tell the elders before, say like on the phone, that i want to be df and not go through the committee?
