Wow this post so relates to me. A few years ago I was that "spiritual" brother looking for "spiritual" sister to settle down with, and I did come across a few. But now I look back and I'm glad Things never progressed, I don't see myself in this organisation very long, so why would I make a vow of a lifetime to a JW woman. I don't want offend any women who are still in reading this but I finds the sisters I know to be unpleasant, mean spirited and not very genuine and easily influenced by other bitter and equally mean sisters.

Why JW marriage is a huge problem for the organization.
by kneehighmiah inthe difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.
but i would say it's hard for brothers also.
i was talking to a jw last night.

Socially awkward
by tamagotchi ingrowing up a jw has made me some what socially awkward.
i would often push people away due to my weird traits.
this was made worse by surrounding myself with certain people within the congregation who didn't have my best interest at heart, who now i know where trying to bring me down, this has invoked in me trust issues with people i meet.

The thing is I like to talk and interact with people. Hate to play the violin here but I have really little to no real friends in the "truth". Even though for a time it felt like I had loads during my teenage years, there was literally an army of us how times have changed. My question is has anyone here had similar issues and what did you do to overcome them?

It's all about appearances
by tamagotchi inso far i've managed to keep service time to a minimum and i don't put my hand up to comment at the meetings and already certain ones are distancing themselves or not talking to me at all, i have to laugh!.
i wonder if they think i've commited a serious sin well sorry to burst their bubble i haven't, well not yet anyway lol.. i find it funny everything is measured on what they see, but yet i have too but my faith in 8 guys who i don't know or have never met, too stand a chance of everlasting life.. there was a part in the watchtower this afternoon saying we should be thankful we are 1 in 1000 of people in the world who have accurate knowledge, give me a break..

@justkidding I was so guilty of this trait before I awoke, so much damage can be caused mentally and emotionally I suffered and still do from major self esteem issues because of certain ones in the Kingdom Hall.
@blondie wow that's not a story you hear ever! Are you and your husband still in? What was there so called reason to treat you in such a way?
@finkelstein @ofchange A lot of self proclaimed dribble. There seems to be an answer for everything.
@islandman ha! Yeah I guess I forgot about that sin lol

Hi to anyone reading this, so I little bit about myself. I'm 24 years old born-in, all my family are in, my father is an elder. Though I'm not fading as such I no longer believe JW.org is gods chosen organisation so you could say I'm mentally out. I'm single so I've managed to dodge a few potential partners lol I just can't see myself getting married into a religion I don't believe in it wouldn't be fair for either side, even though there was a time I believed Wholeheartedly, I just have this empty feeling when I'm in the hall. I have no motivation for it anymore it's been a struggle keeping my emotions intact at times. Alot of things have happened which has gradually changed my viewpoint on the organisation.
As you know it's very difficult finding someone to talk too express your doubts. If there is anyone I can talk to privately don't hesitate to contact me.

Loyalty or nah?
by tamagotchi ini'm currently still in, just recently i've noticed a new face on the jw social scene, this person is still very much a study they are sociable and very likeable.
but this person is far from trustworthy and is rather manipulative already causing small divisions climbing the social ladder trying to gain favour with certain people.
i find it funny that the organisation prides itself on its loyalty towards one another given its many examples published in the watchtower but yet things like this happen.. it make me think how can a study who isn't baptised in the name of the governing body, cause so much trouble among 'brothers and sisters'.

Hi Searcher, Eventually I'll reveal abit about myself but for now I'll keep things quiet. It seems so strange but rather satisfying typing my thoughts than reading other people's comments like i usually do.

Makes you think if the great tribulation strikes how many will truly stick with one another and not perform a Judas and how easy will it be for someone with bad intentions to infiltrate and cause massive damage within the organisation.
