    A friend of my sister asked me this about my fiance the other day. I said no that he is agnostic and I never preach to him about the bible or witnesses. HA HA! Why in the hell would they think I would! I guess they are just hoping.

    I wanted to say I am not receptive towards it either. LOL That might have freaked them out to badly. And after all it was nice hanging out with my sister. I guess I shouldn't ruin it.

    I'm living "in sin" w/ my fiance and though I've never been Df'ed or Da'ed it is ok for them to hang out with me. Not that I am complaining. And i don't hang out with them all the time, this was a rare event actually.

    But my niece who was Df'ed cannot hang out with her mother while her mom is around witness friends.

    All there lame rules. I wonder if they ever think about how backwards they are.

    They are hoping he will see the troof.

    I guess my family is in denial. They think one day I'll see the light and return to the "fold".

    That night I ended up with my sister and her friend at this couple's house, witnesses of course. I sat there for almost two hours listening to witness talk.

    They were talking about somebody in there sixties that professes to be of the annointed. And even though this seems quite young nobody can question him or her.

    It is hard for me to believe, I once used to sound just as crazy. LOL

    Its like a special secret club, with a special language to go along with their "special" knowledge. Kind of juvenile actually.

    Hi Sandy. My mother wanted me to wait to marry my fiance`, until he "got the truth"....I said, "No way, Jose`". We were married, he eventually did study, became a JW, saw through the whole "truth" mentality thingy, and made a conscience decision to leave, consequently he was DF'd...best decision he ever made.(leaving the JW's). I sincerely hope, your fiance`, does NOT go that route. It was a terribly tough time on us, but we survived....my family still "hopes" we will "see the light" and come back as well, but it just isn't going to happen. Hang in there.

    Wow Delilah! Your hubby actually took the big plunge. I don't preach to my fiance at all. In fact I tell him the truth about the troof. When I was a little younger, early twenties I was still confused and would try to preach to non-witness boyfriends. Thank goodness I'm passed that. I'm glad your husband finally found his way back to reality.

    You could have said, 'yes, he is very receptive to the truth, that is why he will not become a jw!' well, I guess that won't work if you want to actually have a continued relationship with them. too bad.

    I really wish I could be a smart ass to my sister at times. I am once in awhile but implying it is not the "truth" would really make their heads spin.

    <div>LOL googlemagoogle that is so funny.


    J-dubs always want to convert unbelieving mates. I remember when my niece got her first boyfriend, at least that we know of, at 18, my sister and the elders were pushing her to bring him to the meetings.

    Some how that makes things look a little better to some of the "friends". LOL


    My mom asks me every now and then about my fiance, "do you ever witness to him?" LOL

    Very soon, I'm going to tell them that I am an apostate. Maybe using that word with them will get it through their heads. The only one I stand to lose is my oldest brother. And these days I am so annoyed and angry with him I wouldn't care if he decided to shun me. The only way I'll ever want to be friends with him is if he leaves the WT. He is so judgemental towards my Df'ed niece. He really treats her unfairly since she's gotten df'ed.

    He is the same with me, the lost sheep, and I live with my fiance "in sin" and he overlooks it.
