Playing the dating Game..............how do you play?

by KateWild in

everyone knows i have been playing this dating game, and what a fun game it has been.

i have met a few nice guys but remained strictly platonic, and also met some really pushy guys too that just wanted sex.. i have not met mr right yet, but who knows what the platonic guys could evolve into.. it's all a game and anyone who says they don't play games when dating is lying.

does a man always have to make the first move?.

Dis-Member

I'm not so sure waiting for a man to make the first move is such a great idea. I have met many women (even in the hall) who have told me that they are in love with some guy or brother and have been for years and years!

"Why don't you say something?" I asked..

"Oh noooo I'm waiting for him to say something to me!" was very often the reply.

I have seen these situations again and again and many have gone for years. Only to end with said man being snatched by some other woman who was smart enough and bold enough to express herself and make her feelings known.

It's really quite simple. If you want something.. go get it. If you like someone.. go get them. Or forever hold your peace.. or aching heart as the case may often be.

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..

Dis-Member

Absolutely! Do a simple Google search for jw.org and you will see jwfacts and jwsurvey in 2nd and 3rd position. The curious must definitely be having a look.

i've been browsing the site for some time as things that the society teach just are not adding up much these days.

by exploring some of the threads on here i'm starting to see why.

Question. Can the society put spyware on my computer when I go to jw.org? I'm frightened they will find out I'm on this site??

No.. I have scanned that site for any and every kind of malicious software, hidden scripts, trackers, bugs and bots and it's come up clean. Your good.

It also gets a clean bill of health from some of the biggest and well known internet/computer security check services.

Wow new members popping up fast and thick! I wonder why? Of my original peer group age from my rather short time in the org (about 45 people give or take) 42 are no longer associated with the org. That says a lot.

I wish you well in your search for answers Purrpurr.

Index of my Watchtower Doctrine Threads

by cofty in

i just wanted to put links to my watchtower threads all in the same place for my own benefit and future reference.. i wrote these 4 articles almost 20 years ago just after i left the watchtower and before i had encountered any ex-jw books or websites.

they were all based on original research of old wt publications and the nwt bible.. my explanation of why they got it wrong about blood using only the nwt.... i still think this line of reasoning is devastating to the blood doctrine.

i have yet to hear a rational response.. the gospel contrasted with the watchtower doctrine of the ransom.... i wrote this when i was an uber-evangelical.

Thanks Cofty will check these out later.

Perfect Relationship, He Still Broke Up With Me

by tiff21390 in

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.

Dis-Member

Perfect relationship? Sorry but he sounds more like a coward and a liar and a hypocrite that just used you.

May I ask how old you are please?

Did my heart become untrustworthy when I was baptized?

by Apognophos in

growing up as a witness, a scripture that was used heavily by the society began to puzzle me:.

the heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate.

--jer.

Dis-Member

I assume they mean that at your baptism when you dedicate yourself to the organisation your heart and mind and reasoning are no longer your own but become under the sole control of and become directed by that organisation. Hive mind.

Your heart and mind are only correct and good when you submit, follow and are obedient. Anything outside of this and you are corrupt, desperate and bad.

For those of you that LEFT.....

by DocHouse in

...did you also toss your faith as well?.

Dis-Member

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.

How is it possible to receive a hundredfold of any of these things when in heaven there will be no marriage, no parents, no having children, no land and certainly not living in a house.. let alone 100 of them?
