The thing is we've known eachother and have been talking for abt 5 years now. His parents are Jdubs (kind of weak), his uncles are elders and Circuit Overseers

He was the one who stuck with me and tried to help me work through my religion problems (He doesn't believe obviously but was never baptised so his parents still talk with him) He knew me before this religion, kept talking to me even though i stressed him about not being baptised and was very self-righteous towards him. He helped me out of that religion. We spent many nights on the phone discussing this religion and other topics over the past 9 months.

He likes me also and wants to take me out on a date (Just to see the movies ) But....i'm scared.

I REALLY LIKE HIM...like really...

But what about his family? They will HATE me! I was baptised and i left...I can only imagine the stress that lies ahead.

I told him how i feel and he keeps on re-assuring me that we will work through it but i'm not so sure.

I don't want to cause problems in his life and he keeps telling me don't worry but i know that things change.

He tells me that his parents are not so into the religion any more BUT they go to every meeting still though

I really like him and want to go out with him but...What do you'll think?

"a brother once told me that it is better to be wrong with the organization, than to be right and be on your own without the organization.".

wow.

The Jw's are not as bad as the other religions so its right. That's basically what i was told byan elder.

That sweet, tingling feeling...

that sweet, tingling feeling you get, no matter how hard life is at the time, when you remember that you're free.

that feeling reminds you that it's okay to not be sure about everything and it's okay to love persons even if they don't read the same literature or hold the same views as you.. it's okay to make mistakes because the people who love you will not pull back their love and association because of it.. the persons who are around you genuinely love you and are not just trying to portray 'love' because it looks good to 'potential' sheep.. it's even okay to try new things and it isn't a bad thing when you're actually enjoying life.. i don't have to try to be someone that i'm not and my worth is not, not.... my worth is not measured by a number on a piece of paper.. i can go through life at my own pace and i can be different.. that feeling reminds me that i can be myself!.

i know that you get that feeling also.

MsGrowingGirl20

It's okay to make mistakes because the people who love you will not pull back their love and association because of it.

The persons who are around you genuinely love you and are not just trying to portray 'love' because it looks good to 'potential' sheep.

It's even okay to try new things and it isn't a bad thing when you're actually enjoying life.

I don't have to try to be someone that i'm not and my worth is not, not...

My worth is not measured by a number on a piece of paper.

I can go through life at my own pace and i can be different.

That feeling reminds me that i can be MYSELF!

I know that you get that feeling also. I KNOW IT! What does it remind you of?

Vengeance Dad Meme--I think I want to do some JW-based ones...

by sd-7 in

i was just reading some random memes and came across this one.

it's truly insane, but maybe my sense of humor is such that i laughed rather hard at quite a few of the ones using this photo.

i was thinking, how could i adapt this one to jws?

MsGrowingGirl20

hahahaha!

so, a good friend of mine, a pentecostal christian, invited me to go to a retreat with her church.

we're the same age-19 years.

we were friends before i became a witness and she was always patient and caring with me especially throughout my arrogant spell as a witness.

MsGrowingGirl20

thank you all. i really appreciate the advice. I will talk it over with mom.
