hello, i was reading judical com.
was really suprise to find out how some of jw's feel.
some have, like the single mom, have such a negative experience with them.
Hello French
Glad to hear you still beleive in Jehovah.
Yes I did stay for the WT study. I do not plan on having a sexual relationship with the man. It was something that happen. I agree that fornication is wrong per Jehovah. When I meet with the elders I really do want to tell them everthing. That is one of the things I have been praying to Jehovah about.
Thanks

It was'nt that bad. The elders still have not gotten with me yet. Oh well, I am ready when they are. I feel much better this afternoon then I did this morning, things don't appear so grim. Jehovah knows I love him, he know that I am weak, he know that I am human.
Thank you Thinker and Thinker's wife

To Waiting
Yes I now realize that I am not alone. I am in a world full of imperfect people, we all miss the mark. And it does help to have a really nice man who loves me.
Again thanks

To OVB
Please remember that it only happen once. He still calls, email etc.
You sound like the elders when I first went to them letting them know that I was attracted to a worldly man. They stated if he loves you he will study. I want him to study on his own, not to keep me.
Thanks. Oh yeah and it is my intention not to engage in anything sexual. But the flesh is weak. Pray, Pray, Pray for me. Please don't stay out of this, I value your input.

this policy is unethical and immoral in my opinion.
however, i can no longer continue to serve the members of my church as i do not agree with a church policy that as a church elder i am required to enforce.
To Thinker's Wife
I am glad that I clarified that for you. I promise I will try to stop
beating myself to death.
Love and kisses to you all.

I hope next week, or next month this all will indeed be a disant memory for me. It's hard to stay away from him. Thanks for the incite.
Well guess what, I had to endure one of those talks at the hall today, it's was'nt to bad, but still.
To RedhorseWoman
Thanks, yes let me restate that comment. My loyalty is indeed first to Jehovah. I like what you said, I am glad to hear you still talk to Jehovah.
You both said some very powerful things, they really got me to thinking. As of today, my heart has become much more involved with this man.
Love you all!

To larc
Thanks for the incite, you really made me feel good about saying that are worse people then me, such as Peter who did indeed deny Jesus three times.

But you know I feel I don't belong, I feel dirty. Can't help it. I feel that I should still do what is expected of me, I don't wish to stumble anyone, even though I know that death awaits me at the end of this system of things. Again how do you really know that Jehovah has really forgiven you of your sins. How do you know he has not remove your name from the book of life?

To Larc
No I would not be dis'f for marrying an unbeliver, probaly marked for awhile. I don''t know
To Frenchy
Different in what sense. I am a bad seed anyway it goes, so in the end I guess it really does not matter. I have loyalty to the org. Yet at the same time, my treachous heart is with this man. You know when that heart gets involved you are not thinking clearly.
Someone mention the word "program". Again this is all I know. Beleive when I have dicuss with other people their religious conviction. I find tht this religion is it for me. Again even though I was raised in the truth, I did'nt get baptize until I was in my 20's.
So can you separte the two. Jehovah and the org.? Is it possible.
Do any of you still believe in Jehovah?

To Bob
Thanks I to feel as you do, that I will be destroyed at armagedon. Even after going to the elders, how do you really know that Jehoavah has forgiven you? In the back of my mind I have thought about living for today! I don't know.
To Mommy
First I am following Jehovah. I draw the line between right and wrong. I would not in any shape form or fashion doing anything for the org. that I as a person know to be totally wrong. If I found out some info. about someone being molested, and was told to be quiet, my concscience would not allow me to do so. Even if it menat going to the secular authorities.
Thanks for the prayers and lots of love sent right back at you.
To Pathofthorns
I will keep learning, thanks for the incite.
To Thinker's Wife
I am sorry. What I was implying was that for the things I do not know about, that are hidden Jehoavh would take care of. If I personally come to have knowledge about something so gross, I would without a doubt report it to the secular authorities. I could not stand by and allow things like that to go on. It is plain and simply "worng"
(hug)

I hear you Redhorsewoman
I have'nt reach the level you are on now. I am still think Jehovah will clean out his org. Who knows I might be one of them. It's what I was taught, it is what I still beleive. I've come to find out that you don't have to agree with everything the org. tells you, but have faith in the most important aspect of. Read and discerning for oneself what is found in the Bible. The rest I wait on the light to get brighter.
I can't remember if it was Frenchy or who made the statement, that JW's have had to come back and change things that they thought was right. Something along those lines. I'm babbling. Need to get some sleep.
Thanks to all of you for being patience with me, knowing that "I" still back Jehovah's earthly org.
But I understand where you are coming from.

Thanks RedhorseWoman
I will continue to pray about it. Either way it is going to hurt.
It will hurt if I let him go. It will hurt if I keep him, that conscience of mind. He is a very sweet man. I think about him alot.
He's very considerate.
Did'nt mean to make you sad. Thank you again for the concern and advice.
Hugs and Agage to you!
