Born a dub. Never dated while in because I "wasn't ready for marriage", Haven't dated since fade because I really don't want to burden my girlfriend with the bull@#% of dating me while I still have to put up a facade of being "just inactive" to my family so they won't shun me.

This sucks. I want to be happy. I want kids. I want to be able to have that and still be able to talk to my family who are ALL dubs and I know would shun me if they find out that I'm dating.

Does anybody here have similar story and been able to have both? Anybody been through it and think it's best to drop family? Don't know if I can do that, but worrying about my relationship with them is what's holding me back from doing what I want to be happy.

AAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Any comments welcome...

Oh ya...to answer the question, when I was growing up as a dub, I defintely missed out on a lot of willing and ready tasty morsels due to my dumb a$$ believing the bs about no sex before marriage...all the way until I was 23. FMJWL( F My LW Life )

It is a fairly common concept that what is unattainable is more desirable, so it only goes to reason that persons of the opposite sex would be more forward and persistent in their sexual advances since they have basically been told, "You can't have this". Simple psychology.

I tried to talk to JW's today and they ran away.

i spotted them out in fs on my block as i turned into my driveway, so i waited for them to come around to my side of the street.

they were in a huddle, 2 sisters and 2 brothers- the brothers had a young boy around 6 with them to get sympathy.

i had my 1924 wt book, the way to paradise, in hand and approached them.

If we take into account that the real reason the disorganization exists is to make money and give power to those controlling it, we can see that learning actual truths or experiencing the "light getting brighter" is inconsequential to their mission. The "light getting brighter" is ONLY a bull#$(# excuse that they use to explain random changes in their doctrine or beliefs when there is no verifiable reason for such.

Absolutely. Nothing more rewarding than giving your significant other pleasure.

Some stay FOR the control?

i have been wondering lately...do some stay in the borg for the control?.

let me expand that question.

do some currently in the disorganization stay specifically for the sense of control it gives them over others(mate, children, family, friends) and the way it lets them have perceived control of others?.

I have been wondering lately...do some stay in the Borg FOR the control?

Let me expand that question. Do some currently in the disorganization stay specifically FOR the sense of control it gives them over others(mate, children, family, friends) and the way it lets them have perceived control of others?

In my study and meditation I have pondered on why some may choose to stay in the Borg even after they have privately awakened to the fact that it's all about control and nothing more. I think that some, if not many, choose to stay specifically so that they can take advantage of the mind control aspect for their own ends and continue to have perceived power over others by always referring to the so called "higher power" of the org, the FDS, or God as the ultimate authority when ridiculing or demeaning others. These are the ones who are constantly picking on so called "shortcomings" of others in an attempt to feel superior. I would include in this group those people who think it's ok to molest children as well as those who speak happily of billions of non-JW's supposedly dying at Armageddon. Please understand I'm not intending to minimize child molestation, rather by comparison I'm emphasizing how evil it is to be happy about billions of people dying.

I would like to hear others' opinions on this, so please reply with your thoughts whether you agree or disagree.

Thanks,

New Here - My First Rambling.

newbie, born-in, 30+ yrs, still trying to decide what i believe since all my options are now open...i can say i no longer feel the need to follow men.... i've lurked here for quite a while and enjoyed the ramblings of many, so since i'm now a member here are some of my ramblings.. it makes me sad that so many people will continue to do something just because they feel they have too much time and/or energy invested to stop and make a course correction, even if they see it's leading nowhere or to an undesirable end.

it also saddens me how some people are so preprogrammed to follow what others say that they feel extremely uncomfortable changing their views, deep seated or not, even when presented with uncontrovertable evidence that their views are at best unproven, and at worst simply not possible or even plausible.. but i also realize, that just like in the sci-fi fantasy world of the matrix, some sheeple just are not mentally prepared to leave their fantasy world.

it works for them, and who am i to tell them how they should live.

Here's a link to a larger version of the picture that's easier to see:

I've always liked this sign as it hints at the controlling nature of the Borg, yes makes fun of it at the same time.

But I also realize, that just like in the sci-fi fantasy world of the Matrix, some sheeple just are not mentally prepared to leave their fantasy world. It works for them, and who am I to tell them how they should live. I believe some people are better off as followers of whatever they follow. They just don't have it in them to make the big decisions for themselves, because then they would have to take personal responsibility for making those decisions, and that weight has crushed many souls.

That's all for now. Thanks for tuning in to my frequency.
