i'm a middle aged man.
i dated a jw lady for 3 months ., we never had sex, just made out , half naked , well everything except underwear .
she has been a jw for 40 years ., was married to a jw but he committed adultery 13 years ago so they divorced .
I just reread this post. Forgive me, I had forgotten that you've already given her a lot of information to think about. It sounds as though she's been unhappy in her family life (her home sounds more like a prison) and it's a respite and relief for her to spend time with you. She really likes you, but she's needing you to drink the Kool-Aid with her. It would be nice if you both could leave the Kool-Aid out of it and just agree to disagree...but is that even possible for her?

hey all, .
this is my first post.
i haven't been out in service or to a meeting in over a month.. i realize now that i've been having serious questions for years and many articles and talks have greatly disturbed me over the years.
Welcome Sevan,
Overcoming cult indoctrination is no small feat...congratulations! Take your time...there's no hurry.

Notalone,

Hi Simon,
I remember you from JWR. She's still seeing you, after all these months! Wow, she must be feeling very conflicted. Does she know about the ARC hearings, or the $4,000 per day fines the WTS is paying to avoid producing its records on pedophiles? These are not apostate lies; they are matters of public record. As a mother, I wonder what her thoughts would be on these issues. There's also a secular reporter, Trey Bundy, who has compiled a good deal of information about JW sexual abuse and policies. Again, none of this info is from apostate sources.
Good luck!

it was a shock despite us being divorced for over 40 years.
my son from that marriage phoned me with the news of sandra's death a couple of days ago, followed by my daughter.. sandra was one of 5 siblings.
the other 4 are still jw's.
Good for her!! Take that JWs!
it`s so crazy:.

hello everyone, it's been quite a while since i was last on this forum.
originally i was under a different user name, but lost all that information when i moved to a different state.
anyways, i had left the jws back in 2001, after being raised up in it most of my childhood life.
RSVP that you are coming but that you'll be staying as long as you like. It was rude of the inviting party to extend a conditional invitation.
all they did was invite us to a convention on the other side of town in mid-july.
my husband tried to engage them and asked where he could send them some information.
they showed him the address for the convention center across town-yeah, they are going to get it there.
You're right, it is stupid. My mother would have thought so...when she did it, they actually knew their stuff.
judge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.
Vidiot, I wonder about this a lot. Of course your points make sense...it looks like they've dug themselves a deeper hole than they'll be able to get out of. They would have been much smarter to just clean house and get rid of all the pedophiles...but I suppose they think it's too late for that...

i created this thread so that jwr members can list their old jwr username with their username for whatever site they've moved to.
i apologize if this has already been created somewhere else.. jwr = starrynight.
jwd = starrynight9.
For any of you who haven't found it yet...a number of us have gone over to ex-jws.boards.net. Hope to see you there!
