I'll be available in 3-5 years depending on good behavior. I can't cross the borders though. So I'd have to be a homebody.

What do you think of people playing hard to get?

by asilentone in

I forgot to add. She eventually dumped me. At first, I think she thought I was "playing hard to get". But after a while, I wanted to have a regular relationship with her. I think that's when she freaked out, because she wasn't expecting me to be anything more than just a good time. She made up a bunch of excuses and but I could tell once the chase was over for her she moved on.

I'm not a JW, but I've met a couple of unhappily women that are. They both played hard to get (even though I wasn't trying to get them), and they also showed signs of extreme loneliness and poor self esteem. One of them used to flirt and sexually tease me a lot. Until one day I couldn't take her sexual innuendos anymore and I just took her and kissed her. We ended up having a sexual affair for several months, then she went and told her elders about. I thought that was kind of strange, but I think she was trying to get kicked out and she thought they would let her just go. But she was really hot looking and I can't imagine any guy wanting to let this one get away. They talked her into staying. She said they asked her a bunch of questions about what went on during the affair. All I could imagine was these guys getting all hot about the stories she probably told them. She was pretty hot herself and I don't doubt the elder guys would have had sex with her if they were given the chance as well, but who knows maybe she played "hard to get" with them, too. I think she used to mark down the time with me having sex as her field service. The only reason I think this is because she was telling me about how she had to come up with hours every month to turn in a time card, she would do this as she was putting on her clothes and leaving. I thought that was kinda strange the first time she did that.

hey gang.... can we be a gang?

that would be a fun "anit-witness" thing to do ... but more to the subject...... i realize that saturday at our elders meeting we're gonna give them our da letter.

this is damn emotional stuff.

I wish my friend had the courage to leave as you've shown. You're leaving something that has been a part of your life. You will need time to process the feelings and go through the stages of separation. Don't stop talking to people about how you are feeling during this process. It sounds like you will be happier. I've never been a witness, I only had a good friend who is and I saw the organization pull her life apart and I could only stand by with support and couldn't do too much more. She made a decision to stay and now she is even more miserable than before. I think that type of person needs to worry, You on the other hand, sound like you're going to be OK. It's just going to be rough the first time you say it out loud. Peace

Ok, this is a little odd for me...just need a little advice

by A-Team in

...there is a young lady at my workplace, who is a jw, and is sending the obvious signs that she at least has interest in me...even know that i will be a minister 'of the devil's church', as jws call it, as of june.

i'm not going to lie, i think she's cute, and if she wants to talk, i would do it.

one of my major questions is this: if i am not a jw, why would she have any intrest in a person that is apart of 'satan's system'?

when it gets 5 to 1 give me a call

Using the phone to listen to meetings

by tryingtounderstandjws in

i'm not a jw.

my friend is and gave me a phone number to call and she said i could listen in on the meeting to hear what she hears.

she specifically said they won't ask for my name or phone number or record my information from the call.

I'm not a JW. My friend is and gave me a phone number to call and she said I could listen in on the meeting to hear what she hears. She specifically said they won't ask for my name or phone number or record my information from the call. When I called I had my caller ID blocking my number. I got a recording that said my call was rejected because of the block on the phone number. The message also said to call another number and extension where I would have to talk to someone. Does anyone know anything about these call in numbers and how they work?
