I was PIMO who dated and married a POMO. Then I became POMO myself. Its great! We understand each other have same escaped the cult mentality. Beining PIMO and getting involved with an in the box JW is setting yourself up for a load of trouble . There is growing exjw community, that is a great place to find new friend's and maybe even a romance, there is something to be said for having a shared background, failing that, stick to non jws, JW love has strings and is conditional , just my thoughts.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

― Socrates 375 BC

I knew Amber and her husband (long since divorced) in the early 2000s they pioneered and sevred in a Mandarin speaking congregation in Vancouver. In those days the society was encouraged Mandarin speaking pioneers to go to China as need greaters. As the work was basically banned there they did not go with any sort of official missionary status. A lot of dubs from our area did this. Was all rather hush hush as often they were not even to tell family and freinds what city they where serving in. So yes she was not an official missionary, but must have used the term to help readers understand what she was doing. I ordered her book, looking forward to reading it, she writes very well.
