by daytona27 ini was married a long time, divorced and alone for the last couple of years.
i consider myself content.
i've come to terms with being alone and the prospect that i may not be with someone for a good while.

What type of person are you attracted to now?
by Layla33 ini was just thinking about this the other day, about how my ideas of a romantic partner have changed since being a jw.. growing up, i thought i would marry a very upstanding jw, we would pioneer together, do missionary work, have children, see the world.
(never had any thoughts about bethel, though.
) so what it boiled down to was a stepford husband, up tight, not the least bit sexual, closed minded bore.. so now that i have grown up, seen the world, been married (and actually picked a good man the first time, although it didn't work out), i just contrast that with what i am attracted to now.. i like them open minded, earthy, i love artistic types because i am a published writer, hair doesn't matter to me (long/short, bald, etc), challenges convention, very sexual, still like a traveling man.. i am just curious if you anyone else can compare and contrast how their ideas have changed since breaking out the group-think of the jw organization..

There is a girl that I like that I wish to start dating.
by D2meep inthe reason i'm posting here is because the girl i like (chelsea) is a jehovahs witness and i am not.
i used to try to pursue a relationship with her up until two years ago when i moved about an hour from her house after i graduated and started going to a tech college.
i used to think she liked me also because we used to do things with each other even though her mother hated the idea of her daughter dating (such as movies, going to the mall to hang out, amusment parks) and chelsea never actully said anything we did was a date but i could tell she enjoyed my company and still does but the way she acts towards me now is confusing.

Why I never say "run"
by jgnat inyou might be wondering, when i respond to a lovelorn person in love with a witness, why i never say "run"!
believe, me, i understand the huge personal cost when a non-witness gets seriously involved with a witness.
in my situation, i have a lot of mitigating factors that allow me to take greater risks.

20th Anniversay
by VoidEater inmy partner and i celebrate our 20th anniversary today!.
hmm...a successful relationship outside of the the troof...who would've thought it possible.... anyways - 20 years without a raised voice, a fight, a heated argument; 20 years of mutual respect, even when not in agreement, and getting along; 20 years of love and kindness, and mutual support.. who would've thought a jw and a mormon could both recover and prosper...!.

Hi all....wow
by -Tank inhello folks.
i posted one topic in the "relationships" section of this board, but just wanted to say a few words, and introduce myself, i am tank.
i was just curious, this is a jw board, i was expecting to find 80% of the members, or posts, to be of diehard, hardcore jw's, trying to preach there beliefs or there views, but yet, almost every thread i read has to do with someone leaving, already left, or a story of when they left, nonetheless, all the stories lead away from the jw religion.
