AnneB
She has regularly slept over at my parents house (in the same bed as my brother...
Why not try the obvious? Tell the elders! Your family knows it happened, right? That's the "two witnesses" they need to take judicial action against this girl for "porneia". One witness to the event is supposed to be a JW; that would be her. If she tells the truth she'll be disciplined by the elders (reproof, disfellowshipping), if she lies your brother will see another side of her..and of JW's.
Maybe if your brother sees what it's *really* like to be a JW he'll wise up and quit before it's too late (baptism).

Wow, I missed that little tidbit of information. AnneB is right. You need to let the elders in that girl's congregation know asap. She should not even be dating a "worldly" man, let alone be sleeping with him, (or anyone else for that matter). Your brother needs to see first hand how dating outside of the organization and fornication are dealt with.

I just wanted to mention one thing: if this girl has reformed your brother, and his reformation has deeply affected his relationship with (you) his family WHILE she is sleeping with him -a huge no-no for JW's you might consider there are mental issues on her part. This behavior sounds very manipulative and could totally be blamed on the JW's- up until you mentioned the fornication. She is manipulating both your brother and her so-called friends at the kingdom hall-she's screwing with everyone's brains!
I would bet that even if this girls gets the boot from JW's-if your brother chooses to stay with her he is in for quite a ride. She will most likely find other ways to manipulate and cause trouble. I'm sorry to be a downer : ( good luck with this one!
