find it hard to date girls out here only due to always having this secret i carry with me that i was once a jw and the thought of telling a girl one day why my family don't acknowledge me as even alive.. recently been thinking of trying to get reinstated and then do a quick fade as i cant go back to the whole jw stuff.. easier said than done and was turned down twice by elders after an immediate attempt 2 years ago.. my motivation for trying would be 1.

by KateWild in

today at work one of the clients that came in for advice was an elder and his wife.

hello all, i'm wondering if there are any ex-borg members in here from the north east ohio area?

specifically warren, youngstown, niles, and surrounding areas.. feel free to private message me if you are still "in" and want to remain anonymous.

i personally grew up in the warren tod heights congregation and know a lot of people from this general area, it would be nice to reconnect.
