My Experience with Wordly Guys
by LaurenM insorry, two posts in a day..but i need to vent something: so far my experience with "worldly" guys has not been the best 1. my first guy experience was with a dude who left state and never came back 2. a coworker asked me to netflix and chill and i did 3. a guy wanted to sext me all the time but never took me out on a date and i did 4. a guy who took me on a great date but then asked me up to his apartment immediately after and then didn't call me after 5. finally, another great date, until after the guy texted me asking for nude pics..told him no!
so basically i've concluded that i had been giving off a vibe that i had no self respect and that was confirmed by me allowing them to use me as a sex object..but i'm hoping that not all worldly guys are like this, and when i start acting like i have self respect, they will treat me like that too?
is that a good assumption?

Being a Socially Inept ex-JW
by LaurenM inso i'm absolutely clueless concerning relationships.
i had barely any friends at all growing up a jw kid & absolutely no interaction with "worldly" people or any guys whatsoever.
i have had a relationship of sorts with a guy for 4.5 months now, but i'm so clueless!

I'm Going to Break Up with My Boyfriend Today
by LaurenM inso like the title suggests, i'm going to break up with my boyfriend today.
it's for several reasons, but mostly because i'm not prepared for a relationship.
i need to grow and learn what it's like to be me now that i'm not a jw and learn how to love myself so i don't make the person i am with miserable.

The Way JW Females Act
by LaurenM inthe more i interact with non-jw men and women the more i notice that i still behave like a jw woman.
when i interact with people (men especially) i find myself being super submissive and docile.
acting like i don't have a brain and can't make decisions on my own.

Disturbing how Christians Feel about Non-Christians
by LaurenM inso i posted a question on yahoo answers asking about what christians feel god feels about non-christians.
the overwhelming answer was that he feels they must convert to christianity or risk hell/death/distruction (john 3:16).
i just don't understand how this could be!

Jehovah Created Animal "Kinds" - The Numbers Don't Match Up?
by LaurenM in1. the creation story taken literally: god created all "kinds".
from jw.org: what is a kind?
: the biblical “kinds” seem to constitute divisions of life-forms wherein each division allows for cross-fertility within its limits.

Thoughts About Individuality, Not Living Forever, and the Beauty of Knowing TTAT
by LaurenM inso i guess i like to use this forum to kind of vent my thoughts to people who'd understand..but anyways, i realized i've been out six months now, and if you've read my old posts you'd know that i've made several "mistakes" so far.
i've been kind of promiscuous and have gotten hurt...but despite all that, i feel like these past few months have been the happiest of my entire life!
i finally know what boundaries are good for me and i just feel so..free!
