  Excellent read! I'm glad to hear this.

  I so agree with this paragraph....

  My encouragement now is to anyone else going through fade-away hell... stick with it, grit your teath, breath, stay strong and its definately worth it... The juice is worth the squeeze!!! The light at the end of the tunnel is lovely flattering light..... man you look so hot in that light!! Yummy!

  I'll say this to anyone going throught the fade thing myself. That's the same with me. I didn't think it would work out but it most definitely is right now.

  I wish you the best!

  ok, so maybe i didn't take as long a break from here as first expected, but i've accomplished what i wanted.

  as far as borg stuff goes....... the co and po stopped by unannounced last week, even after i cancelled the scheduled meeting with him.

  i'm finally going to be deleted as an ms thankfully.

  Thank you everyone!

  unique1- They've had stories about the program on the local news, encouraging ones to volunteer. It's even something my mother suggested....back before I was an extremely active Dub. It sounds great though. Such a short amount of time to me can mean the world to someone else.

  Great questions, but JWs do have an answer to all of them........

  ......"wait on Jehovah, he'll reveal all of these things to us in due time."

  There you have it, the answer to every unanswerable question we can imagine.

  Do you have a magnetic personality? Somewhat

  Does everyone want to invite you to their party?? If I actually knew alot of people then perhaps I would.

  Are you a loner? Yes

  Is it hard for you to make friends? No

  Do you think you'd be greatly missed if you no longer were around??? Maybe just a little

  Thank you F2T, ex-nj-jw, oompa, and Open Mind!

  oompa, my earlier threads are alot more detailed, but the basics of what woke me up to the truth about "The Truth" was the lack of love, the obviousness that the elders and the Org as a whole wasn't so Holy Spirit guided as they claimed, and from reading the book of Acts. After reading through the book twice without the Watchtower blinders, I knew the JW religion was a lie, and that it wasn't the modern day clone of 1st century Chrisitanity.

  We have some fine-looking JWDers here.

  I'm not sure if i'm up for posting my picture yet. Just posting my name for the first time was a big step.

  Thank you purps, snowbird, Gopher, and Snakes.

  snowbird- I don't know how deep into the Org your daughter is, but you know such volunteer programs are of little significance when it comes to the life saving preaching work.

  Gopher- that's so true. I guess i'm no longer "friendship material" to them. Now that my organizational activities have been severed, i'm not of any interest to them anymore.....at least that's why I think. I've already have a few new acquaintances that I think can be very close friends in time. We'll see how that goes.

  Snakes- I have to be careful, I almost typed in your real name. But yes that's exactly why I want to do all this traveling now. I don't think i'll be able to soon.

  My Dating horror= You can't have coffee at the mall without a chaperon???

  by Witness 007 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  being a pioneer/servant for years, i thought i was very responsible.

  when dating a sister whom i later married, i read every publication on courtship the society had.

  i then spoke to an elder whom i thought was "resonable" and we agreed as the publications say: "a couple can meet together in a public place, when courting, without a chaperon.

  Dating within the world of JWs is an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy!

  So much stress and strain was put on my relationship with my ex-fiancee by the rest of the congregation. With me then being a MS and Pioneer, I did my best to be extra cautious so I wouldn't "stumble" someone. There was one big fiasco that took place when she stayed with my parents and I at my grandmother's house when we had an out of town assembly. Also, an elder chewed me out because I took her to a Dr's appointment when she was sick and had no other way to the hospital. I guess they thought we'd have sex between the times she's taking medications.

  We did alot of plotting and planning around EVERYTHING we did so that no one could potentially get the wrong idea about us. This caused alot of unneccessary trouble for us.

  I don't even consider this dating.
