What made you think?
by greenie ini know this topic has been covered, so feel free to ignore me or point me to another post for your response, but i'm just curious: what made you first think the jws didn't have it all?
what it a slow process or like a lightening strike?.
for me, a non-jw, it was like a lightening strike when i started reading about the blood issue..

Deep thoughts: conditional love
by greenie inso, i know people talk a lot on here about how love is conditional for jws (ex.
as soon as you're not one, you've often lost jw family and friends).
in my own situation, many of you have counseled me to get out of my relationship (for those that don't know, i'm not a jw, my partner is).

Your views of the headship
by greenie ini've heard a little about this business, but i'm curious as to what you all think about it.
jw and exjw women - do you/did you believe it and abide by it?
jw and exjw men - do you still believe it?

Sad today
by greenie infirst, it feels so weird typing all this to strangers, but here goes anyway.. i suppose my jw had an epiphany recently because we had some really deep talks this weekend.
he was very kind and calm about everything, but he basically said he's afraid i won't be happy in our life together because of his jw lifestyle.
he says he knows a life with him isn't the one i pictured for myself and that he doesn't feel able to make the kind of compromises i would want or need to be happy.

Other Religions Compatible to JWs
by greenie injust wondering, are there any religions that exist that might be palatable to dubs?
i realize all of their teaching goes against this, but i'm wondering from an outside or neutral view, can you think of any that would work for someone who was/is a jw?
southern baptist?

Apprehension about the holidays
by greenie inso...i've been feeling a tightness in my chest thinking about the upcoming holiday season.
you know, october = halloween; november=thanksgiving; december=christmas, etc.
i'm not sure how to approach them with my dub (for those who don't know, i'm a non-jw, never have been one, never will be).
