You Elders! Follow the example of Jehovah's creation!

by PopeOfEruke in

i visited a wild national park last week, full of animals.

went on a boat tour of the lagoon where we saw the majestic sea eagle, a beautiful bird, sitting right near its huge nest up high in a tree.

the guide explained how the sea eagles always have 2 eggs, but as the chicks mature one of the chicks becomes dominant and starts hogging all the food, then it starts fighting with the weaker one and eventually kills it or pushes it out of the nest.

Yeah? At least you didn't get your head bit off the last time you had sex.

Is this site ever used for on-line dating?

by frozen one in

i was reading another thread that asked, "do you see yourself remarrying?

" i noticed some of the replies mentioned that getting involved with another xjw would be interesting.

i have thought that also.

After my divorce, I dated another ex-JW and we really hit it off, but the "world" has a strange effect on some ex-JWs, and some really go off the deep end. That is what ended our relationship. That being said, I would really like to meet another ex-JW sometime.

I can honestly say that in all the dating I've done, I find the subject of being an ex-JW seems to be a tricky one. At least with regard to bringing the topic up. Some women I've dated do understand, but we all know that it's really not that simple. Sympathy is nice, but true understanding - man, that would be the very best. In discussing the whole topic with another good ex-JW friend of mine, it seems that it is just about impossible for anyone to really understand how we feel and what we've gone through without having been a bonfide Jehovah's Witness and then leaving it all completely behind. All the changes, both psychologically and socially, and the pain of losing your whole circle of family, friends, and striking out into a whole new life - usually very much alone.

I think that a an ex-JW life partner would be so ideal. There could be a level of closeness and sharing unparelleled in finding one. What was once an important way of life, with all its great influence, would be a great part of a foundation of commiseration and trust.
