Our son's JW wife.....

lavendar

Was wondering something: If after all the prodding and urging from our JW Daughter-in-law to convert our son (her husband).....what if he decides NOT to get baptized into the borg? Will our DIL catch some "heat" because of this?

Thanks,

Lavendar

She's been "working" on him for YEARS and so has the KH.

Probably she won't catch any heat if he is not baptized. Unbelieving husbands give JW's an ongoing science project, and they love it.

He is likely to catch plenty of heat if he is baptized. After baptism, the love bombing ends and the demands and criticism begin.

Mark my words.

With prayers for your son to stay dry and free,

Supply him with a copy of C of C book and a few others and they will leave him alone forever. In fact they will see him as non person and will simply ignore his presence when out and about in town.

Works for me.

If he never gets baptized, it is more likely that she will be viewed with some sympathy for having an "unbelieving husband." On the other hand, if he gets baptized and then quits Dubdom, he may discover that she is advised to treat him as a "spiritual endangerment" and she may seek a divorce for that reason.

He will be FAR better off to remain uncommitted. In time he may regain his silly wife.

I have a step-dad who was never baptised. My mom married him before she bacame a JW. She gets all kinds of pity from the congregation since she has to be married to a man who is not baptised, which she thrives on.....and He LOVES the attention he gets at the KH and how people still try to kiss his rear. ALl he sees is the "good side" of the "friends". He doesn't (never has) go in service and people will even lie to him when he has a question just so they sound good. (Naw......they don't teach Jehovah will destroy babies in "A")

I would actually wish for him to be baptised on one hand...to open his eyes to the real world of the JW's. On the other hand, if he was smart enough to see through the sh*t, it could ruin his family.....so double edged sword there.

I think she will get heat for having an unbaptized boyfriend or husband. She can't be above reproach if she is involved with a worldly person. That is probably why she is "working "on him so hard. She wants to slear her name.

I agree with megsmomma,

she'll get lots of sympathy because she is married to an unbelieving mate Get him the book Crises of Conscience.

Not at all, but they will pity her.

Lavendar- Mr. Flipper here. I tend to agree with those that have told you that your daughter in law will be treated with sympathy because of your son not joining the witnesses. Some in the congregation, especially elders, if he has shown interest in the past, will continue to try and patronize him with the hope that one day he will join the church. It's called a gradual winning over of his trust till he believes the elders aren't just being nice because of what they want him to do, but they will act like they sincerely care about him. Which some may care, however know that the elders main motive is to get him saved from destruction by eventually getting him in the church. Good luck, Peace out, Mr. Flipper
