  A "follow up" meeting?!?!

  well, now they want a follow up visit!

  when you tell the elders that you have doubts and they say " its okay, we have had our doubts.

  having doubts is not apostasy.

  Little_socrates, evolution makes NO attempt to explain how life originated. That's like looking at the theory of gravity to explain climate change.

  the influx of new posters made me wonder if the push to view jw.org is helping curious ones find this support site?.

  please post whether you found jwn during an internet search or if someone told you about it.. i myself was directed here by a df'd family member once i shared my doubts with that person..

  Perfect Relationship, He Still Broke Up With Me

  by tiff21390 in

  2. relationships

  last month, my best friend of four years and boyfriend of six months came home from a jehovah's witness convention.

  he'd been acting strangely the entire weekend and i knew something was wrong.

  i initiated a discussion and he said, "essentially our relationship is wrong and i'm not supposed to be with you.

  Yes, it sucks, but please understand that he's broken. Most of us here are still dealing with the effects of the brainwashing years later. If you get in contact with him again, you'll need to be prepared to make a decision. Either help him understand that he's in a cult, or let him go. The former is a lot of work, and will likely not work.

  Just read it... Garbage. An intelligent believer would still find this contemptible. You should be ashamed for even posting that link on here.

  Hello

  i thought it was high time to introduce myself (without my name of course).

  as my name would suggest i have been reading your intriguing post, thoughts and discussions for some time now.

  around 3/4 months to be exact.. i guess to start with it would seem fitting to give a little background on my current situation.. i'm a born-in, but have over the last few years found that through a number of varying occurences, (some of which i may discuss in future posts) that my 'zeal' has gone from regular field service and meetings to no service in over a year and very sporadic meeting attendance.

  Lurker!

  You are one of the lucky ones. So many on here including myself are still struggling years later to help their mate see TTATT.

  That being said, I'd say it is morally incumbent upon you to share how you approached your wife, or at least how you two shared your doubts and researched together.
