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. I've thought about breaking it off because of his illness but I have very strong feelings for him and care for him deeply. Am I being realistic in hoping this will work for both of us or is this form of mental illness so severe that I can't make a success of the relationship. If anyone has advice on this, please share it with me.

Would You Recommend A Person Remain A Virgin Before Marriage???
by minimus inbeing 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.

For myself, I prefer to wait. Too many guys out there want you for sex and sex only. I would feel really used if I had sex with someone, got pregnant or an STD and he took off. It really is a personal choice.

well it's not a secret anymore, but I also dated a worldly man for about two years, left him and started dating another worldly man, my friends never found out even though we live pretty close by. Weird

If you had to, what religion would you choose to be?
by Crumpet inyou 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.
