Dating after Divorcing a JW...

by RagingBull in

any experiences/advice on dating (moving on) after a separation or divorce from a jw?.

i know that when (not if) i leave the org, my wife will probably separate then divorce me (and we have 3 small children).

i only know of horror stories when it comes to that type of scenario.

From my experience, you are screwed on a number of levels.

Normal people will not be able to relate to your experience. I told the first woman that I entered a serious relationhip with after leaving the JW's, that it is almost as if I were raised Amish. She could not relate to the strange differences.

One was politics. She was appauled that I had viewpoints that were strong, and had never voted. She could not believe that JW's couldn't vote. There were others but that is the first to come to mind.

What Did You Not Do Because You Were A Jehovah's Witness That You Wanted To Do?

i didn't go to college and of course, "higher education" was never recommended.

still, i never felt terribly deprived because of not going further in my education.. yet, i did wish that i could've had "normal" aka "worldly friends".

i wish that as witnesses, we could've been better integrated with other people.

Become an architect. I blew it, my Dad (not a JW) would have put me through school. I, like a dumbass, listened to Brooklyn. I would have had it made . . . sigh! I was damned good.

i wondered about this as the song by brian adams played....what do you do/say/act if you really love someone.. .

edited to add: - i ask because some are so idealistic about it and think it's all fairytale stuff.

others are cynical..

I've Decided That It'll Be Best For Me To Return To The Kingdom Hall.

by Philadelphia Ponos in

after carefully evaluating the my current life situation, i've come to the conclusion that returning to the hall will be best for me.

i simply just don't fit in with the rest of the world.

i don't drink, smoke, have sex, go to clubs, listen to worldly music, watch movies, or gamble.

Wow. You have your shit together, but want to shoot your co-workers. Yes, the JW's are a good place for you. You have everything dialed in!

Do You Think You Would Be Terribly Missed If You Died?

by minimus in

jw
friends

lately, i have noticed that many suddenly have died or as it is usually expressed, died "unexpectedly" in the local obituaries.. i have come to know of many young people suddenly deciding to kill themselves for whatever reasons.

most that i have known about had either financial or personal issues and sadly, they just gave up.. i wonder if we were suddenly gone, would people take notice?.....

(and don't worry about me.
