Welcome Wovy,
We have many people on this board that have been in the same situation. I don't know your story so I can't really give you any advice, but I recommend you stick around. This is a great place to learn about JW's.

question is "is this a good forum to discuss problems i have dating a jehovah's witness?
" i am not a witness and wonder what i have gotten myself into.

many comments are made that jw's are actually brainwashed.
do you think this is true?
YES.
i've been lurking in this site for about a week now.
i didn't know something like this existed or else i may have come sooner.
i'm a bit selfish for making this my first post, but i'd like to introduce myself and get some feedback if possible.. my parent's became jehovah's witnesses when i was eight years old, so i was for the most part "raised in the truth".
Hello Anne. Welcome aboard!

if you had to choose another user name, what would you choose?.
I was thinking about changing mine to poon.

a number of people feel that basically, not only was their life stolen from them because they were witnesses, but because of their being at one time jw's, they are screwed for the rest of their lives.
are you in that category?
I used to be screwed up. But I'm all better now.
i love to flower garden, i have a really nice one in front of my house.. i have.
holly hocks, primrose, lilacs, daisy's, oriental poppy's.
i also have miniture roses along my sidewalk and i'm getting a peony tree very soon.
I love to garden!!! My last house I had a veggie and herb garden. My husband and I also built a lovely japanese garden with a cool fountain in the middle. We sold the house though, and now I'm stuck in a tiny tiny apartment with no yard untill our new house gets finished. All i have now are house plants. I just bought 2 bird of paradise plants, and 3 bannana plants.
.
just asking because i'm wanting to expand my musical horizons, looking for some new artists to get into.. my all time most-listened-to cd (and we're talking hundreds of listenings):.
thanks for sharing!
he's baaaack!
Come on everybody!!! Sing it!!
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)
Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's Nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way ?
I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog"
And : "May the lines sag, may the lines sag heavy and deep tonight"

I said "No"
And then I shot myself
So, drink, drink, drink
And be ill tonight
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
