@gentledawn
After you got baptized.
My study conductor assured me that I wouldn't never have to abandon my parents as they are the ones who brought me on this earth.
@Londo111
I'll take your suggestion in consideration. Thank you for your advice. It is very much appreciated.

What did being a JW teach you?
by punkofnice inthese are some of the things the wbt$ 'taught' me:.
dishonesty is fine if it's to trick people into joining the cult.. if your spouse stops believeing, the best thing you can do is break up the family.. the laws of the governing body overrule any other laws...or else!.
my friends are conditional.. avoid loving people, they'll only let you down or get df'd.. unintelligent dumbos are better than intelligent ones if the dumbos are elders or above.. hate is better than love.. i am not good enough and god will probably enjoy killing me.. demons will appear in my room at night.. ignore practicallity if being practical or loving prevents the leaders getting money or praise.. god hates.

•Be overly suspicious
•Watch my mouth
•Be paranoid
•Overthink (I cannot buy a bottle of red or black nail polish without worrying about wheter or not i'm breaking some unwritten rule)
•Be more tolerant
•Be thick-skinned
•Fear man
•Appreciate my own compagny
•Be consistant with my goals
•Be grateful for my freedom
•Draw close to Jehovah
•Turn a blind eye on people's flaws
•Be more fogiving
•Control my attitude
•Be more understanding

Wow. This is extrem. What I meant by stalking is the possibility that some members can track you down on social media

I would live, but things aren't that simple. I don't expect you to understand my situation as it is quite complex. Thank you for your advice. -

It is my study conductor who said this to me, not an elder. -

Thank you for your replies everybody.
As you may guess, my study conductor refused to reveal the name of the complainer. I told her it is best if SHE (we both know who she is anyway) come see me direclty to address the issue, otherwise there will be no change in my attitude whatsoever. To wich she replied:"you might have valide reasons to behave that way, but as real christians we must put our difference aside and swallow our pride to maintain the congregation peace. (She pointed out some verses in the bible). You might not realize but you are not just hurting sister x. Your attitude may be stumbling others members". I ended up the debate by saying That being distante is the only way I can preserve my inner peace (and that of the congregation by extension). Since i'm not disrespecting anyone, i'll continue to do so. It is really common for the members of our congregation to ignore each other. that's nothing new under the sun. Nobody will stumble.
you know what we say about hispanic and black women: they are very assertive (I may be out of line. Don't quote me on this one :-p ). Guess what? I'm a combinaison of both. In my culture, we don't believe in passive agressivity. Ever since I've been affiliated with the JW's i've learnt to be less confrontational wich I think is a good thing. I deal with people that I want to deal with, and ignore the ones whom I can't learn anything from.
