So I've been going out with a JW awhile now, and it's gotten to the point where she would be willing to 'convert'/switch to my religion. The only problem is that she says she doesn't want to lose her friends/family. The big one is her family since she lives with her mother/sister who are both JW and she doesn't want them 'shun' her.
I really don't know what to say to her about this. If anyone can help me, thanks.
PS. She has around 20+ other family in the area that is Catholic. It's only her, her sister, and mother.

Wieghed in the balance, w you and whatever you have to offer her, and her mother and sis on the other side, who do you think will win? If she converts, she can't have both sides.

Oh Brilliant Young One- She can't have it both ways. She is going through what very many of JW's go through. Let her do it on her own. DO NOT give her any pressure or advice. It can only be used against you in the future. What you may not realize is how BAD she is for having a worldly boyfriend. If she is willing to convert she must think she will be with you forever. Take you time. I know it seems hard now but it can work out. Also, consider not having her convert but just fading. She won't get disfellowshiped if she is not going to meetings. And her family won't be FORCED to shun her. Contact me if you want specifics of ramifications for different scenarios.
