it's hard to know where to begin, so i'll just... begin.. i had my first encounter with jw in high school when my now ex-husband moved into our small town.

(you're doing the math already, aren't ya?

:) ) after finding out he was a jw, i did a little bit of reading into it, which he discouraged... told me that that stuff is "apostate" (i had no idea what that meant) and that he'd give me stuff to read.

UBMs - why do we love JWs??

by Super_Becka in

i think there's been a thread on this before, but i figured i'd ask again.. for all of the ubms out there, why is it that we love witnesses??

what is it about them that we find so attractive??

why are we putting ourselves through this mess when we know full-well that there are lots of non-jws out there who would be better for us??.

Dear SMF

Did you mean me or someone else, not sure!! If it's me, my boyfriend has not hooked up his computer, it's still in his van, i'm surprised someone hasn't stolened it!! Just shows you how bright he is!!

im in love with a Jehovah's Witness

by saddler in

i've fallen in love with a jehovah's witness and i know she feels the same way about me but the problem is that im a methodist and cant find it in me to give up my faith and become a jehovah's witness as i would not expect her to give up her faith and it is driving us both crazy.

i've known this lovely lady for the past 8 years and have only now told her how i feel and every second im away from her im thinking of her wanting to be with her.

so im asking people who might know or be able to help

Dear Kristofer

Thank you for your imput! I welcome all advice and comments!! I guess you know better then anyone here how helpless and frustrated i feel! There's some self loathing here as well!! I guess deep down i'm feeling that if i can take it this long "seven years next month" then i can keep going!! This may not make sense but i would rather this happened at the age i am now "almost 60" then at say 20!! I may have gone nuts with all the stress! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!!

Not used to silence from a JW

by osmosis in

.

i found an apparently unbiased report on the un scandal, printed it and gave it to my jw aunt.. since then she has not mentioned it.

odd, if she thinks she's right about something she never hesitates to tell me in detail.. maybe i scored a point.. ?

My JW boyfriend thinks he's always right as well!!

Hi jgnat

Thanks for the advice, i never thought of making him jealous!! The only emotions i've seen him show in all these years is anger and lust!! I sometimes wonder if he has any others hiddened away somewhere!! I noticed it's mostly women who advise me, i wonder what the men in this forum would care to say about my problemo?? Good or bad, i can take it, really i can!!

Hi delilah and jgnat

I agree with both of you! I have to find the strength somewhere in my heart and soul to resist him in every way!! He lives just across the street from me so we run into each other i. e., at the store, cafes, me walking down the street going somewhere, etc.!! He flirts with other women in front of me, when i'm at his apt. and a female tenant calls he goes out of his way to make me think they are more then friends!! I understand he is also going thru "midlife crisis" and i feel sorry for him but i don't know how much more i can take!! Michael said if i tell his family about us again he threatened to speak to a few people in my life, i.e. my boss, my coworkers, my friends and make my life a living hell!! I'm also a volunteer with the city i work for and he said he would get me in trouble with them as well!

We know too much about each others personnal life!! I've done nothing wrong to or with anyone but he is a very good liar, beleive me, i know!!

This is in regards to how a mans body smells!! My boyfriend is very hairy and even when he is not sweating he has a certain smell about him that i just love!! He says it's because he is so hairy! BTY, i love all that hair!!
