If she's the kind of girl who resorts to giving dirty looks rather than finding out what is bothering you, then you're better off without her. If you weren't able to bring yourself to tell her what your true feelings are about such an important matter, then you really didn't have much of a relationship even though you were "head over heels" about her .

Ever since I learned TTATT, I stopped contacting a sister who I wanted to date
by Yondaime ini was head over heels for this girl, but when i realized i was in a self destructive cult i realized tieing the knot with her would screw up my future.
this makes me think of the highschool sweethearts i turned down that were worldly.
now she gives me dirty looks whenever our eyes meet a the hall or at gatherings.

I wonder if anyone here has any connection with a LGBT publication or group that could make a big stink out of this and demand an apology or at least embarrass them publicly . I wonder if enough of us sent a copy of the talk or newspaper articles in to places or groups who deal with discrimination and human rights, they'd be motivated to make these narrow minded comments go viral. They could also mention that gay people are thrown out and their freinds and family are no longer able to associat with them lest they be thrown out themselves for doing so.
I'd love to see these arrogant SOB's who mislead so many of us into wasting our lives, pay in some way. This may be the only chance there'll be for something like this to happen for a long time.

Just guessing but at your parents age (late 50's) they are burned out and looking for any excuse not to have to work anymore. Your Dad has tasted the good life, not working and getting benefits and doesn't want to go back to the old grind. Your Mom probably likes having him around or at least having someone to Pioneer with. They probably enjoy the status of being Pioneers as well. JW's are the only ones who can be hero's among their peers for being charity cases. I'd say they are using Pioneering as a means to step off the 9 to 5 treadmill.
If you're smart, you won't enable them by bailing them out financially if they are turning down jobs. When you were a teen they probably wouldn't hand you money if you were just loafing around.

"It's the intent that counts and not the result."
by donny in"it's the intent that counts not the result.".
i have been out of the jw organization for some 22 years now and i sometimes get a reminding jolt out the hoops that some will jump through to make their religion make sense to them.
the first line in this post is what a jw on the street here in salinas told me on saturday when trying to justify the society's history of false prophecies.

JW: Ray the point is that at least the Witnesses were trying to keep alert and stay on the watch versus being asleep at the wheel like the rest of the churches. In other words Ray it's the intent that counts and not the result.
If you were on a 8 day cruise and the captain kept announcing: " Attention Passengers, we're sinking go to the bow of the ship....no wait,go to the stern.....no go to the starboard...no, the port side...never mind, apparently the ship isn't sinking just yet but it probably will be in a few hours " The Passengers would be scrambling around at first but would end up frustrated, confused and possibly dead if and when it eventually happened.
Is the Captains intent to keep his passengers alert and on their toes the most important thing here or is accurate information from the person claiming to be an authority and who is in charge, what really counts?

The Day Armageddon Came
by Londo111 inmy grandfather only had a third grade education and knew little about the bible when jws called on him.
he was a different breed of jw than those of modern times.
he truly cared about people and would give them the shirt off his back.

Your Grandfather's sad last moments reminds me of something we found out a few days ago.
My wifes JW grandmother died a few years ago in her late 80's. All the JW relatives live a few hours away and it was her non JW Grandchildren who watched out for her in her last years. As it happens, only one person was with her as she died and that was one of my Wife's non JW Cousins. We didn't know this before but this Non JW Cousin happend to mention the other day that poor Grandma was really terrified in the hours before her death and this Cousin couldn't understand why or what the grandmother was trying to explain to her.
We asked her what Grandma was saying and the cousin said " I'm not sure exactly what she was talking about but she was really upset and I didn't know how to help her. She kept saying something about how she wasn't sure if she was one of the other sheep and kept saying again and again, something about the number 144,000 and that she very very frightended to die."
My wife and I looked at eachother and knew exactly what was going on. Grandma claimed to be of the annointed after she was quite elderly but none of the JW family really took it seriously. Apparently she was having second thoughts of guilt about having partook of the emblems. Anyway it was distressing to find this out this kind and good woman died in such an agitated state. If one of the JW relatives had been there, they may have been able to comfort her and assure her that Jehovah would take care of her no matter what calling she had. Wanting to spare our feeilings, these non JW's relatives sheilded this information from the rest of the family who are all JW's. They didn't realize there was any JW significance, they just wanted us all to think Grandma had passed away peacefully.
