HI EVERY ONE I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS A HIT AND RUN, BUT IM STILL AROUND. I WILL ALWAYS BE READING, EVEN IF I DONT POST. TODAY 5-3-03 IS MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. TO A MAN WHO IS NOT A JW. WHO LAST YEAR ROUND THIS TIME I WAS ADVISED NOT TO BE UNEQUALLY YOKED TO. IM STRIVING TO BE BAPTISED, AND HE WAS REALLY KIND OF NONCHALANT ABOUT EVERYTHING. WHAT MAKES ME MAD RIGHT NOW IS THE SMUGNESS OF THE JWS. "HOW COULD THIS MAN BE RIGHT FOR ANYONE HES NOT A JW " " IS HE THINKING OF THE SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE FAMILY" HES NICE TO ME HE TREATS ME GOOD. I WAS TOLD CALL NOONE GOOD BUT GOD . I CAME IN THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THREE CHILDREN AND HE TREATS THEM NO DIFFERENT THAN HIS. ON MY LAST POST SOMEONE SAID " ONE YEAR AND YOURE UPSET" SOME SMALL HISTORY. I BEGAN STUDING WITH THE WITNESSES IN 1989. NEVER COMMITTED MYSELF TO IT. BECAUSE OF THE WAY I HAD TO MOVE AROUND. BUT I THOUGHT JUST LIKE ONE. THIS PAST YEAR I WANTED TO REALLY COMMIT MYSELF. I COULDNT BECAUSE I LIVED WITH MY NOW HUSBAND. I WAS TOLD THT ICOULD NOT PROGRESS LIVING IN SIN IN THIS WAY. EITHER LEAVE OR GET MARRIED. SO I WENT TO HIM TOLD HIM EITHER MARRY ME OR ELSE. HE DID. BUT WHEN I LOOK BACK ON THAT PERSON THAT I WAS,THE WAY THAT I WAS FEELING INSIDE THAT FOR JEHOVAH I WOULD HAVE LEFT HIM AND NEVER LOOKED BACK. ONE YEAR LATER IM SO HAPPY HE IS WONDERFUL.

ENOUGH OF THAT, I HAVENT ENDED MY STUDY YET WHEN I DO I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW. AFTER ALL THE POSTS AND THE RESEARCH I CRIED BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I NEVER COMMITTED I ALWAYS FELT IT WAS THE TRUTH AND ONE DAY " I WOULD MAKE THE TRUTH MY OWN " IT WILL TAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS BUT I WILL BE FINE. ONCE AGAIN IM GLAD I FOUND THIS FORUM BEFORE I WAS BAPTISED AND YES IM GONNA END MY STUDY I HATE TO LOSE THE FRIENDSHIP OF THE PEOPLE I MET. BUT OH WELL LIFE GOES ON

being disfellowshipped was one of the things that I told my teacher bothered me because people make mistakes. but she said that once you are baptised Jehovah deals with you in a different way than when you are not, like maybe you would be given extra help from him.

Thanks to everyone for all the good advise. farkel youre funny. I stumbled upon this web site it said JWs so I entered. It is different when yousee a site and people dont know anything about the JWs than when you find people who know and have had experiences then it helps you to see. alsoI dont have a computer at home so I cant comunicate as I wish. Cause i want to learn more. thanks for the scriptures they have been helpful. I thinkcounseling may not be a bad idea

Hi I am new here. I have been reading your posts at work. I have been studing with the witnesses for about a year this last time. I have almost completed the Knowledge book. Before reading these posts I had wanted to be a JW more than anything, seems nothing else was more important to me. When some one would say something bad about the JWs I would think that it was another example of the witnesses being persecuted because of the truth, the same way Jesus was. So I never paid them any mind. While studying someone said something to the extent that God would expose all false religion and this was why the Catholic religion was being exposed. They more or less told me that this type of thing does not happen in their organization.(pedophiles) (and I beleived them ) Then I stumbled upon this forum, I feel betrayed. I know I still beleive in God but where do I GO NOW!! I want to worship God, but how do I do it now. I have come to realise that the guilt that I was feeling about not being baptised was wrong. I have not stopped studying and I need some advise on how to quit. They are always so nice when they come by. When I first told my daughter that we would no longer celebrate birthdays she cried I felt bad but wanted to make Jehovah happy. Also I was afraid that the world was gonna end and the only people that would be their or be saved were the witnesses when I know that I have met some GOOD people. Point is I dont know where to turn now. The more I think about it the more I feel angry. Please help advise, experiences would all be helpful.
