you have to make up your mind which way you are swinging regarding JW life. If you don't plan to go back and stay there, why build a life with a JW? your goals are different. True you might pull her out, but then again you might not. I grew up in a household with mom a JW and dad not one, it wasn't an easy life and it eventually was the reason for their divorcing.

From heavy-handed morality to no morality
by logansrun init is an almost knee-jerk reaction for someone coming out of a high-control group like the jws to automatically throw all caution to the wind and act in a self-destructive manner.
(unless one goes from one hc group to another, that is).
i'm all too curious...for those that have been out a while, did you go through this anomie?

A couple years ago I got into a little trouble for the first time pretty much in my life and since I assumed I would be dfd, I really threw caution to the wind and did some pretty wild things. It was short term and ironically I didn't get dfd then. Now when I chose to leave, I thought about it. At first I thought maybe I wanted to do that again. Make up for the years of abstinence after being divorced but single for a number of years. I was always so envious of 'worldly' friends who could date and just enjoy life and not have to be doing this as an imediate view of marriage. No wonder JWs get in bad marriages. Don't have sex before marriage, so you rush into something to keep from committing immorality and what do you get?
Well i figured now I was going to go all out and just have fun (safe fun of course)..
but the thing is that gets old pretty fast and as much as I didn't think I wanted committments but was looking for fun.. maybe even date just for sex.. ooooh how tabooo..... I know.., the third guy I dated changed all of that 'let me be wild for a while' theory..
and I don't have to be wild just because I am not a JW.. I just don't have to live by their rules.. I only need live by the choices I pick for myself.
and I can chose to have a relationship that is full of adventure and ok by my rules.. even if it isn't by the rules I was raised with.

I am lucky to be alive
by happyout ini don't know if anyone noticed since i'm not one of the premier posters, but i've been gone for several weeks.
unfortunately, the reason is i was in a very bad car accident.
i can't give too many details, because i don't want to be identified, but my car was hit by a semi truck on a major freeway during rush hour.

Where are the liars now?
by spiritwalker inwhen i was a child, and being raised a jehovah's witness, i remember a lot of key members of the local congregation.
there were the elders who always seemed to be there for my family.
there were the families that were the central figures of the congregation and even the local witness community.

All our lives things were put off because Armegeddon was around the corner. Even now when I admitted to family and close friends my choice to stop association and living the JW life, all i heard was, the end is so close.. now is not the time to leave. And a small part of me thought, am I picking a time to stop only to find out sure enough it was that close and I picked wrong time? Being brainwashed for so long you don't know what to believe. I know I don't. I just look back on all the years of sacrificing so many things and what has it gained me?

Would You Have Given Your Life Up For Your Brother At One Time?
by minimus injw's are all supposed to be marked by the love they have for one another.
the love is called a great one because it is a "self-sacrificing"one.
theoretically, a witness would simply die for another witness because of the brotherhood---no questions asked.

If I loved someone yes. Be it JW or not. I still would. But it has nothing to do with the religion.

This is why I'm Disappointed....

I agree. I don't want my mother hurt either. There are people who make their choice to be a JW even if it means losing me, having been there and thinking it was the only way to life, I have to respect their choices. I can still love some of those people who are JWs even if not in my life. I don't want them hurt.
