Social Anxiety Disorders
by Thinking of Leaving inhi 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.

My boyfriend is not a JW and am now DF. He grew up with an abusive father and was always shy as a child. His fear is so severe that he dreads going to the doctor, dentist or any other health professional. He won't even make a phone call to a strange person to get information over the telephone. We went to a wedding and he met my mother the first time and freaked out because she asked him a few questions. Just making small talk with him and it went sour. I bought him a book on Social Phobia which he hasn't read as yet because he said he's scared to. Scared to learn more about his illness. When I read that book it described him to a T. He has a severe form of this illness and I'm afraid it's beginning to affect our relationship. I find him distant and unwilling to talk about his feelings or his illness. He's now 41. I care for him a lot, but it's taking every bit of strength I have right now. I suggested to him to attend a group support, I'm not sure what he thinks of this as he hasn't told me as yet.

Crises of Conscience

Why do you support having sex out of marriage?
by free2beme ini work with a lot of people who are very sexually active.
which should mean they are real happy, right?
after all, isn't sex the best feeling in the world and that is why we have such a strong internal sex drive.

I know I should probably be ashamed of being a virgin at that age, but while being a JW I was proud of it. Now I don't even know where to begin. I must say I want to have sex, I really do, but the cult has imbedded in my mind that it's wrong and I will only regret it. Only a temporary enjoyment of sin right? I also don't want to have sex with anyone unless I'm absolutely sure the person loves me, that he's not just in it for the sex. I know it sounds stupid....good God I'm almost 35

I once saw this elder cornered his wife against a wall and pointed his finger in her face. He seemed very angry with her, not sure what she did or said, but she definitely didn't deserve to be treated like that. This elder was known throughout for his arrogance.

I'm still a virgin at 34 and cannot for the life of me bring myself to have sex. Been a JW since I was 15, got DF for immorality a couple weeks ago, didn't have intercourse but did enough to warrant being DF. I'm still not sure it's what I want though, I mean I always wanted to wait til marriage as I think it makes it more special. I also want to make sure the person absolutely loves me before giving myself to him. So unless he proposes to me, no sex

District Conventions
by EAGLES ini hadnt been to a d.c. in about 10 years is it really true that congragations have to sit together now????
whats up with that is it so that the elders can see who's there and who isnt.
that would blow my scam from way back when i would maybe make one half of one day and tell people i made all 4 days.

So they disfellowshipped me
by Thinking of Leaving inlast wednesday night.
get this though, a df "brother" called the house today looking for me, he told my mom that he wanted to talk to me about something he heard last week, she told him i'm at work today and he wanted my work number which my mother refused to give to him.
i wonder what the heck he wants.

Yeah I found that strange too, I think he's very nosy and just wants to find out why, imagine he hardly goes to meetings and wants to encourage ME ahhahaha, sounds like he needs more encouragement than I do. He better not call me again.

for those of you who don't know I was DF for immorality, I didn't have intercourse but commited other "immoral" acts...I never went into details with the elders as to what I did and didn't do, I just told them I committed fornication (never told them I didn't have intercourse), anyhow I never met with their JC and never got into details about my personal life. It was never any of their business anyhow and I wanted them to DF me, I wanted to be free to live my life the way I choose, without feeling any guilt.
So I spoke with that DF "brother" this morning, it was so important that he called yesterday three times and when I didn't return his calls, he called this morning, very early, to make sure he got meapparently he heard from his sister (a self righteous Pioneer "sister" who is VERY gossipy that I am DF and he wanted to take the opportunity to encourage me, he said he wanted to tell me not to wait too long before coming backI told him straight out that I don't need encouragement and I won't be coming back anytime soon, so not to bother calling me, he said oh well you have my number if you change your mind, yeah whatever!!!
