  thanks for the advice. I have shared some of my past with her, but not all of it. Just enough to let her know it takes me a while. I need time to get emotionally involved, and she is already at that point. I understands she wants to share that with me. But it is hard when I do not feel that yet. I have tried talking to her, but it is hard with my trust issue

  Well this is my situation. I am dating a girl, and I really do like her. She is sweet and we have a lot in common. We have been dating for about 6 weeks. We have known each other for 3 years. She is getting very emotionally involved. She has hinted several times that she wants to say the 'l' word, but hasn't yet. I have issues moving that fast in a relationship. I cannot totally trust that easy. I have issues from my past and both of my parents completely have abandoned me and so I have had the ultimately betrayal in my mind. It is hard to trust anyone after that. Anyway. I want to be able to develop this relationship, but I get irritated with her for being at this point and she can be clingy which is very frustrating. I need my space. I think I have become really independent in the last year, and I do not want to give that up. I do not know. What do you all think...any advice

  thanks

  i ask you this because i saw a lot of hypocrisy in the org but i still have sometime this old fear of armageddon with a feeling a culpability.

  should i do some research on my own about all the lies of the wbts?

  what did you do to find a goal in your life?

  well first of all when i went to college, I knew I would never go back and I began to do all the things I wanted to do, and vowed I would NOT feel guilty. At first it was hard, but then I realized I was only being human, and that was important. After two years of going crazy, I got two years of counseling for being a jw and for other things in my past. I felt like I was two people, one I decided to show the world and one I saw. It was my goal to bring them together. This was the ultimate healing process, that I am still doing. I also spent time taking classes on philosophy and eastern religion. I realized all religons are not bad, and all that matters is that you live the best you can for you. I choose to worhsip my creator, but in a personal way. It takes time and healing...Good luck

  Hey sixofnine, well it was back about 4 years ago when I only came out to good friends. I am out to some more people now, but still not everyone, but it is a lot easier to tell people when you first meet them than explain later.....

  Hey Thomas, well you pose some interesting questions...And great summary of my post.
  1. Yes I feel there are things missing in my life. My mother and I have not spoken since september and I do not want our relationship to be this way. It ended on her terms and I never wanted that although she has borderline personality disorder. It is a long story, but I feel family is missing. My friends are my family. In fact my adopted mom is on this forum...Hey C!!! There is also something missing in my life that is not quite tangiable. Just a little hole....

  2. Yes whatever this little hole is, it is missing. I felt that it was filled for one year of my life, but I was living in a fantasy. After that fantasy, I spent two years in counseling. That helped me a lot, but I still struggle with things. Sometimes I think the hole is related to myself, sometimes I think it is something I need to find. Sometimes I think it is something that cannot be found. Have you ever heard the song Would Not Come By alanis morissette. That describes this feeling....

  3. I expect to have a deeper relationship with all people in my life. I want to get the most out of my life. I want to travel the world. I want to some day be a professor and share my knowledge and help others achieve their goals. I want to make a difference. The idealist I am, says I can. I have been through a lot of crap in my life, that I have not posted. If I can survive all that, I can overcome anything.

  4. I think meeting new people and continuely healing from being a jw, and from my past in general always helps me grow as a person.

  By the way I started puberty at an early age, 10 was it for me. Thanks for the questions...got anymore...

  Hi there. This is only my second post here to any of these boards. I was just wondering if any of you out there suffer from BPD or have a relative that does. My mom has it, and we no longer have a relationship. It is very sad to me, because when she was first diagnosised, she got some help and our relationship got better, but then she hooked up with an abusive boyfriend and she stopped all therapy and is back into her disorder. I think he maybe antisocial. It is a crazy thing. Let me know if anyone wants to talk about this...thanks

  Hello all, this is my first post here on this board. I have been to other boards, but I thought I would grace you all with my prescence as well. I know I just met some of you in the chat room. Thanks for welcoming me. I was a JW for only 6 years. From the time I was 13 to 19, so I lost most of my teen years. By the time I was 17, I knew I wanted out. My senior year in high school, I only went to half the meetings. My dad had been df'd and my mom was drifting. I had more friends at school than at the KH. When I went to college I broke away. Never looking back. I went wild my freshman year. It was great. My sophomore year in college, I finally explored my bisexual side that I had been supressing forever. I knew I was attracted to both sexes by age 10 or earlier. I still did not come out to most people, just my close friends. I got a tatoo and still had fun. I am now in graduate school. I am going to be an occupational therapist. I will be done in a year!! Thanks for listening. I hope to have many more posts.....
