it's a struggle to live a life of dualism.

you sought comfort in her arms, were soothed by her normalacy, and is a wiff of fresh air to you.

but if you, like so many others, a 2nd or 3rd gen witnesses, it's a struggle, especially if you believe the dogma and have family in it , and the hold it has on you in your mind it's extreme.

i never thought i would do one of those infamous goodbye i cant take this board anymore posts where the person shows up again a week later and looks like an idiot.

when i had enough of this board and needed a little break i would just quietly leave for a few months and hopefully nobody noticed.

that is not the case this time.

my wife and i have been married 6 years now.

she was a jw when we married as is her entire family.

i was, and still am, very attracted to her because of the way she carries herself and her compassion.. i would like anyone who has had a similar experiance or was a jw to better help me understand what is going on in their heads when it comes to birthdays and such.

hello, i am newly dissociated and was wondering how some of you who grew up in "the truth" have started relationships.

i have never dated for obvious reasons and am now 26 with no experiance and extremely shy about this whole dating process.

i have tried places of interest like gyms, workout classes and even eharmony with no prevail.

how important is/was spirituality to you when considering a person as a husband/wife?

did you expect the person to have similar spiritual beliefs and goals?

if s/he didn't have similar beliefs, was it important to be able to discuss spirituality respectfully ?
