There seems to be many jw's marrying outside of org recently.
by atomant inl was wondering if others have noticed this or is just my imagination?my sister whom has always been a fine example of a dub just got married to an outsider was a shock to everyone as no one knew she was dating an outsider.she seems happy.the elders are to shit scared of her to approach her about the matter.

I would rather be in the JW cult than the ex-jw cult
by questioningmyfaith ini have posted one other time on this website.
just for the mere fact that i wasn't anger and bitter and ready to declare the gb the sociopathic criminals that so many here ascribe to, my initial question digressed to bickering over ad hominem attacks against the gb and not my beliefs that i'm questioning.
some did give me some help on my questions.

I've never fully understood peoples need to make an 'ANNOUNCEMENT' that they are leaving some type of group. I swear, everytime I see one of these posts on social media "this is my last fb post"...."Im closing my twitter accout"..."Im officially done with Snapchat" - blah blah blah. It is all a cry for attention, nothing more, and I just smh. Usually that person is seeking validation for their threat to leave, or they want people to try to convince them to stay. It's the difference in the person that constantly threatens to kill themselves at every turn vs the person that sadly does commit suicide. Ex: abusers will loudly threaten to leave and end their lives each time they dont get their way and/or wants attention. But most that do take their own lives, dont give advanced notice. They dont consciously draw unnecessary attention to themseves - thus why the act is so devastating.
As on any chat group/forum/social media site, people will openly express their opinion and then communication ensues. If I dont agree with things I see posted, guess what I do???
Wait for it....
It's a new concept, I know...
You ready for it?...
I read something else. I move on. Or I ignore it. Novel idea, I know. My point being, an official announcement is never necessary. Because in the end, that opens the door for all kinds of responses - which seems to be the very reason you are 'announcing' wanting to leave this forum. Although you make some valid points that I do agree with, overall, unless you are a CEO of a major company who is resigning, nobody needs a speech. 😁

JW marriages: “They” looked good on paper.
by Londo111 ini applaud anyone, male or female, who overcomes shallowness and looks at a person’s deeper qualities, especially in regard dating and marriage.
the movie and fashion industry does much to institute shallowness to the point that, in my opinion, it promotes outright discrimination and judgmentalism even as they give lip service to tolerance..
on the other hand, among jehovah’s witnesses, there seem to be a preponderance of incompatible marriages.

Wow...does this bring back memories. I recall a JW family I was close to in MD that tried to hook me up with this divorced brother in his 40s...while I am 23! The story was that this man waited forever to get married, finally does, and she cheats/leaves him. So he was now looking and his beety eyes were set on ME. Now I have always been loud and speak my mind, so when my friend basically pushes us together to talk, I got irritated and grossed out at what this much older man would want with me?! In the end, it was obvious why this brother was cheated on - he was so weird. I almost believe he had Aspergers years before that was even well known. But my friends actually got OFFENDED that I had no interest in this man. As if???!!!
Another example is when I was about 16. There was this older man (40s) who used to come to the Khall from the sign language cong - and he was totally deaf. No one knew why he came to my cong as he had no translator and couldnt hear the speakers? Come to find out, this dumpy man was coming to talk to me. He told the brothers...correction...he WROTE the brothers that he was interested in me, and wanted to get their feelings on us being s match?! The elders told me and my parents, and then next meeting, this creeper writes in his tablet "I would like to date and get to know you better"?! I was so disgusted!!!!! I was in high school...come on. Igave him the stank face, smh, and wrote back "no thank you. Im still a kid."
Last story...I swear (cause I have a billion). Had met a bunch of brothers I became friends with, and we would all hang out. One of these brothers liked me and was very open about it. Mind you, I had my own apt, my own car, a good job, and was independent. HE was the same age, worked PT so he could be a reg pioneer, honestly...looked like a human version of Shrek, and lived at hime with hos parents and sisters. This guy was sweet but a damn mess! So when he asked me out and I told him no...he got MAD and offended that I refused. His response t me saying no was "...but you are 27 and not married. Isnt that what you want? I can give you that?" I remember LAUGHING out loud in his face (since my full blown IDGAF attitude was in effect in my 20s) and couldnt believe thr nerve of this guy. It really is no joke how JWs date and marry. It is so backwards!

JW Hypocrisy Rears It's Ugly Head...As Usual
by babygirl30 inso about last night.... i am out at a local club (not restaurant, not event venue - a club) to see a rap concert.
now, i am with some friends minding my own business, and i find that i am standing right behind 3 active jw's - one of whom used to be my best friend.
this girl is as fake as they come: 1) she used to live with me and would bring non-jw guys home all the time, 2) was living with a man when she lived down south - until he dumped her, and then she decided to go back to jw's the 1st time and got reproved, and i supported her.

Matter a fact, she is wishy washy with the ''truth" over money...her family has money, takes lavish vacations every year, the kids got new cars when they graduated, etc. So whenever she is OUT in the streets, her parents cut her off. And Im sure she gets tired of struggling on her own, so she runs back. This cycle has now happened 3x. To me, that is pathetic -

Freddo - I wish I had taken pics. But I just didnt bother cause the way they literally RAN outta there had me dying...their guilt made me smile!
Beautiful Mind - you hit the nail right on the head. They always FORGET what was done for them...when you dont follow the gang mentality. It is the quintessential definition of fake! You are to them when its what they need, but suddenly become not good FOR them when you dont think how they think.

Pete Zahut, your reply was beautiful!!! Had me rolling here...cause it was to the point but full of sarcasm - just my style! I know this chick is fake, and the fact that she even responded with that JW rhetoric means she knows she is guilty. No further convo or explanation would be required at this point...and like I said, I know for a fact she isnt dumb enough to TELL anyone JW she saw me...cause they def would ask where - hahahah. She would have to out herself, which she is way too chicken to do. It made me remember again why I have no desire to go back. This petty fakeness is a reminder of how oblivious JWs are to their own reflections. At least in the world I know exactly what Im dealing with...but the facade JWs wear is so thick even they can see through it. -

Agreed JRK...although I did it for years. But it was SO tiring and time consuming, and the older I've gotten the more I see it being so fake. It's not worth it to me to do again, thus why I won't go back. -

Yep Stephanie61092 - you get it!!! That is the worst kind of hypocrisy, but it doesn't make me angry anymore. As I see it, karma is a 'mutha' and these fake people eventually will suffer the circumstances of their own bull shit. The very fact that my ex friend responded in such a DEFENSIVE manner means she knows she was caught...and that was truly my reason in writing her. I bet you ANY money she won't mention my msg to her to anyone else...as that would incriminate her being at this concert at a club. But I wanted her to know she was caught, and that was my goal. Your ex friend seems like just as much of a winner as mine...lol. -
