Doesn't sound like JWs. They try to be friendly with their neighbours so they can preach to them and hopefully start a Bible study.

"In a flock there always seemed to be stubborn sheep. For some reason they just didn’t want to obey the shepherd. At times, other sheep were inclined to follow a disobedient one. So the shepherd would try to train and discipline the stubborn ones. For example, he would leave such a sheep in the pen alone. In time, some accepted correction and followed the shepherd’s directions. Sheep that remained stubborn ended up on our dinner table."

Dear Confuzzled,
now you lost me. Did you say that you are a JW?

Dear Confuzzled!
I trully believe that your anger is misdirected. The belief: "No sex without marriage" is based on the Bible. The "rule" is there for protection for those involved and potential children born out of that union. If your BF really was JW you would never found yourself in the situation you are in. It's him you should be angry at - he is not a JW yet he uses WTS as his shield. He doesn't want to marry you and he is a coward to tell you it's HIM who is at fault. It would be more fruitful to resolve the situation with him than to be angry at some "organization" that has nothing to do with your situation. Think about it.

Open Letter To Jehovah's Witnesses
by cindalmiller inyou may not remember, but i know you very well.
i met you a long time ago when you came to my house with your smiling faces, your neat clothes, and your soft voices, and a bible tucked neatly under your arm.
you told me many beautiful stories of a "paradise earth," and a "righteous new system" which would be established shortly.

Such a melodrama! You wanted a "paradise" you went for it. It didn't work out for you so you have to blame somebody. But everybody is responsible for making their own decisions unless somebody is holding a gun to their head (literally) and Jehovah's witnesses certainly do not do that. I know - I went in on my own will and I left on my on will.

Pot Calling the Kettle Black
by babygirl30 inreading another post on here about 'association' and how home jws brag about their accomplishments and how spiritually great they are, yet their lives are bull-ish and the 'fruit' they produce is fake as hell:.
a couple in my cong where the husband was gunning for 'elder' over the years and the wife regular pioneered.
he doesn't work claiming he is disabled (yet he can play basketball with the brothers every week) and has no pride - he will ask for money outright for whatever necessity they have.

You got it, girl! Your Mom taught you well. And don't worry about Jesus':"By their fruits you'll recognize them", he evidently meant the "spiritual" fruit.

Their life has nothing to do with their spirituality. There is a precedent for it: Both, Russell and Rutherford, had less than exemplary family life and Jehovah chose them as his representatives here on earth. So if God doesn't judge them and His Holy Spirit chose them and (your) elder to lead his flock who are you to be saying things like that?
(I hope you can hear the sarcasm in my voice)
