I am sorry to hear this. And I thought I was getting harassed. That would give me an anxiety attack. Really I blocked some phone numbers. You have the right to ignore them. You owe nobody an explanation for your actions. I like telling people you've got too much going on and leave it at that. No time for them.

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015): Serving Single - Do not use JW dating sites!
by Designer Stubble inaround the 39:00 minute mark the focus shifts to a single sister who cannot find a mate.
at the 42:30 minute mark she states "i cannot believe it crossed my mind...to look on jw dating sites".
guess a new unwritten rule is added to the many oral traditions of these pharisees.

This is not new. For 10-15 years now the Kingdom Ministry & convention talks have explicitly said do not use JW dating websites, even naming jwmatch.com.
I have my own theory why not. Besides what they say, that you can't be sure of someone's 'spiritual character' online, they must be afraid that people who are internet savvy also have enough sense to research and will soon learn TTATT!

Excellent post, thank you. I just had a conversation with a non JW Bible hobbyist about how the witnesses do not give Jesus the recognition he scriptural commanded. -

I took a different test. I'm not sure your link is the most accurate online version of the Myers-Brigg. I've taken other versions with differing results. According to the link you are having people use I'd be ESJF. That's not accurate for me so I didn't use it.

A poll of sorts: How long have you been a "fader" for?
by SecretSlaveClass ini'm curious about the following:.
1) how long have you been a fader for?.
2) how often do you still get pressure from congregation members and/or family to return as an active witness?.

1) 6 mos
2) 2-3x/week
3) My baptized uncle successfully faded from age 27 till his death at age 42.
4)n/a
5) Not shunned, but treated like "bad association." I don't get invited to anything anymore. If I saw someone in public they'd still say Hi.
6) Don't care about any "friends," but some of the immediate family obeys the DF/DA arrangement and this is a factor.
7) 0
8) Yes, bc they are still controlling family and prevent my freedom of speech.
Please publish your results when you have them! I love stats.
