I have been dating a JW for 2 years now and everything has been going great other than the fact that she is in a cult. She at first tried to convince me to join but she quickly realized I wasn’t believer. In this age of information I just don’t see how so many people can fall victim to this religion. I am torn with the choice of breaking this off or really attempting to show her how wrong her religion is. I know I don’t want to marry into that religion but I don’t want to let her go. People I have spoken to have told me it would be wrong to try and get her out of that religion but isn’t that what they do when they knock on doors?

Re-read your above statement and tell me how your relationship is going great.
Come now... go dump her and get another fish.

It's not wrong to want to get her out of the religion but don't get your hopes up that you can.
If you want to maximise your chances of being successful, you need to read Combatting Cult Mind Control and Releasing the Bonds, both written by cult expert Steve Hassan.

there is a movie about your situation "worlds apart" rent it. it will solve all our doubts. She is under mind control. But she doesnt know it. And trying to get her out would be to her as trying to kill her. fyi

Run like Hell and never look back. There are plenty of fish in the sea. You will both recover. You're not married and no children are involved. You'll be dodging a bullet.

Yeah I figured this a repeated topic. I had been googling her religion and this forum came up. She is a great girl, I just figure there is hope becuase she is young and is not so strict with the rules in the religion. I kind of figure anything I say she will consider me a apostate and that will ruin any rational conversation on the matter. It hurts but i think I know the answer to my question. Thanks for the advise guys!

MIA Danny - Welcome to the board. Here's the bottom line, It is extremely unlikely you will get her out, especially if she has a network of family and friends in. If you want to make your life really hard and quite possibly miserable, then stay with her. If you are hideously deformed and even internet dating sites ban you, stay with her. If not get out......while you can.

He's lying.
JW's don't date outside their religion.

Come on... Do you all have to be so radical? I've been married for 22 years, 21 of which I was a staunch witness whereas he just wasn't religious at all but let me do my own thing, and our marriage has been quite enjoyable so far.
