firefly, I read the last couple of posts between you and sixofnine. I'm really sorry that you were attacked that way. It was unfair and uncalled for. I really appreciate the insight that you've given me. I looked up your post history and see that you've really gone through a difficult time yourself.

And just for the record, i too have done a lot of jw research and toyed with the idea of converting if it meant being able to keep my bf. When it comes down to it though, i know that a jw life is not what i want, however i guess that means that i too am a "troll".

Hi Skeeter. In response to your question, his wife and i had been friends, and after they seperated and he got with the girl he was with before me, she would often talk to me about how she didn't know what in the world he thought he was doing and that he was thinking only of himself. She wanted things to work out between them. I had felt so bad for the girl that he was with because she really loved him and treated him so good. I honestly couldn't understand why he had broken up with her and gone back to his wife.

Hello 4mylove, actually when i first met him he was df'd and seperated from his wife. He was in another relationship and was living with the girl. After about a year with her he started feeling guilty and went back to his wife. He became reinstated, but about a year later they seperated again, he started another relationship and was again df'd. I've actually only ever known him when he's been inactive. He tells me that he's always been in love with me but had not seen it before

He had been disfellowshipped about 2 years ago because of a relationship that he had with a non jw woman while he and his wife were seperated. However he decided to return to his wife and work on becoming reinstated. His wife decided last Dec. that she wanted a divorce. My bf tried hard to save his marriage and keep his family together (they have a young child), but it didn't happen. about 3 weeks into the divorce i admitted that i had always had an attraction to him and then he suddenly started seeing me in a new light. We started seeing each other about a week later.

Things have been going great with us, and we are very much in love but he seems to talk more and more about wanting to be reinstated and becoming involved again with his sons spiritual growth. My bf is a 2nd generation witness and his family are all active in the org. He says that he wants to do whatever it takes to be able to see paradise.

I myself have never been a witness and have no desire to become one. I am a single parent of a 7 year old daughter.Will our relationship be able to work? What should i expect if he wants to be reinstated? He had been very much in love with the woman that he saw while he was seperated, but started feeling guilty because he wasn't free to be with her, and felt that by being with her he was going against God.. I thought that maybe with me it would be different since he's divorced now and free to be with me, but am i just fooling myself? i really don't know what to expect at this point
