I am a non JW, who has met a JW and we have been online chatting for last 9 months. I have fallen in love with him. He has been trying to push me away lately, and finding out one of the reasons is because of the religious background. Well his ex-wife this week turned him in to the elders ( by the way i don't understand a lot of this) So this morning he had to meet with the eleders about me. He informed them that we had been chatting and yes he does have feelings for me and because I was not JW he was backing off and that he advised me to contact my local Kingdom Hall to get someone to come over and explain thier religion to me and to ask them the questions and for them to explain what they belive.
First off I want to say I know God sent this man to me, Won't go into detail but I just know deep in my heart he did. I have not asked this man to change what he belives or even suggest for him to switch religions. I have done some rearch on the religion on the computer and Well i have many questions that just don't seem to add up. I don't belive you have to answer to elders because of the choice in a partner you might make. I have thought about letting them come over and talk to me but I am too independant and to opinionated I am affriad they would go running and then call the elders at the other kingdom hall.
I just don't know what to do. Walking away from this man is not an option. I pray for him daily and ask God to give him peace, at first it was becasue he was going through so much with other issues in his life, but lately I think that prayer could also be peace having to do with the religion. He quoted a bible verse to me yesterday Matthew 12:25 and in short a house divided will not stand, So then I say back to him that there are many ways for a house to be divided and to be united. You can agree to dissagree on some things in your life and as long as you are in agreement then you really are not divided. I feel here what makes this not work is having to answer to the elders. I have asked him why i had to talk to local Kingdom Hall and not him. Why can he not tell me what HE believes not someone in his religious orgazation. Of course he responded he is too emotionally involed with me.
Is there anything I can do? He was raised JW and I meant what i have told him about not asking him to change, to me that would be something he would have between him and God and because I did anything. Do I just keep praying for God to send him peace and cry my self to sleep nightly?
