I Need Help Please!!!

by CW02 in

i'm a 24yr old non-witness who has been dating a 23yr old witness.

we met through a mutual friend.

when i met him i thought he was sweet and kind and the kind of guy i could see myself with for the rest of my life.

Some good, relevant replies here. I can't understand why he has "popped the question" so soon. Especially as he must have known that problems were going to arise as you are not a witness. Surely he can't be that niave?

I know from first-hand experience that a witness/non-witness marriage can be a BIG PROBLEM.

Anyway, I hope that these replies have helped!

Please let us know how things go.

Sillyputty, do you want me to ask my two friends if they post on this board, or intend to?

I don't know of any on this board but there are two "active" elders in the local congregation who no longer believe in the WBTS, but stay in the Org for family reasons. Don't want to be shunned. I get to know about all the latest gossip in the congregation, as well as some pretty good "inside information" .

WTBS kill Zoo-Keeper

zookeeper mauled by lion

panama city, fla. - a 500-pound african lion mauled a zookeeper who had stepped into the animal's cage thursday to pose for a magazine photo.

george koll, 61, was attacked in the head and throat by the male lion.

Maybe the stint was planned by the WBTS! You know, a kind of " before and after thing "

Before Armageddon: Lions are dangerous and attack people.

After Armageddon, on a paradise Earth: Lions are tame and love being stroked by little children.

" Do you want to live forever in paradise on Earth? Jehovah's Witnesses would be pleased to arrange a free bible..blah...blah...blah.."

Let's look out for the Christmas edition of the Awake!

I'm going to spend, Spend, SPEND!!!

by Englishman in

it's arrival did, of course, remind me of the most famous littlewoods football pools winner ever.

i am a jehovah's witness now and have been for 21 years.

others are happy to see me.

That's interesting, Englishman. I remember seeing a film called "Spend, Spend, Spend!" I presume it's about the same people. All I remember is she bought a big, pink car ( American, I think ) and her hair was dyed pink, too!

Seven years ago we took out 100 in premium bonds, and won 2x50 in the first year and nothing since. Loads of people I've spoken to have told similar stories. Beginners' luck?

5.40 ? I wish I was rich like you, Eman!
