@ MsGrowing:

Cool. Just wondering.

I pioneered for 5 years. The "Crisis" book really just confirmed things that I had long suspected about the Org.

Do you get to choose who you" fall in love with" ?

by caliber in

it's possible to choose people you get to know.

so, in learning about the people around you, it is possible that the things you learn about them could be things you appreciate or, at the very least understand.

many ex-jw's believe they married for other reasons (than love ) such as spiritual qualities or for security.

I chose with my head the first time............didn't go well.

Second time, I didn't get to choose...................but sooooo much better!!

I'm with the person I'm supposed to be with.

Shy JW at the door ... the pain of it

by MrMonroe in

someone tweeted today: "a jehovah's witness who is shy to people at the door.

those few words paint such a sad picture.

how many jws with little self-esteem and self-confidence, particularly born-ins who have never known anything different, are sent out into neighbourhoods to knock on the doors of strangers and speak to them, knowing the householder resents them being there?

OK, good.

You scared me.

quote from another thread i didn't want to derail:.

i too like blondie was shunned as an elders wife for whatever reason i have as yet to understand, it happened even when i was pioneering.

you never know what law you might break to tick someone off in that religion and how long you will be shunned.
