I've seen this happen no less than 5 times. A lonely person, always a man is contacted, starts a bible study and starts attending meetings just to get a wife. None of them stayed once they realised the sisters where stuck up weridos.
Am i alone in having seen this? I should point out that the men were always rather odd, the loners of society, looking for pretty but submissive door mats.
Yes! A friend of mine studied with the JWs but eventually got doubts about the same time I did, so he was on his way out, but his dad (who was divorcing his mom) went with him to a meeting (or was it the Memorial?). And there he saw this woman from Japan and what would you know, he immediately asked for a Bible study. I actually knew about her from my missionary friend (who went to Japan in the early '80s) who lived with her and said that she was mentally unstable. Anyway, one day this guy told my friend, "I decided that I'm going to go for the whole package deal". I never forgot that because it disgusted my friend so much, that his motivation in joining the religion was because of his horniness for this girl. And eventually they married and I think (I'm not sure) he became an elder.
Yes, twice. They were both older men who were infatuated or in love with a younger woman who first contacted them and commenced the BS. They stopped coming to meetings almost immediately the sisters married someone else.

This sort of thing happens in all religions. Many years ago, a friend's roommate did the same with a Baptist. He was a drunk and thought a good woman would help him get over it.
What Rob said.
Down here, if a woman goes to church, she's assumed to be chaste and almost saintly.
I remember the story of a pioneer in Mississippi who witnessed to a homeless man.
He showed interest (more in her, I'm thinking), she found a suit of clothing for him, he visited the KH, and the rest is history.
That was about 10 years ago.
I wonder if they're still together.

I remember seeing allot of guys who never really spent much time going to meetings.
surprisingly show up at assemblies, the reason girls.
In reality the social connection that religion presents happens with other religious organizations as well.
Ohhhhhhh YES! These were men who I'm sure would be turned down by toothless hooker, washed-up bar skanks . . . . with crabs. These losers would be in heaven leaning against the literature counter at the Kingdumb Hell looking all of the pretty young virgin Jdubs and think they had a chance in hell. If none of these young virgin Jdubs were mentally unstable (by Jdub standards) these pervs would start looking at the "over 20 crowd" then the "over 30 crowd". Eventually they would find some desperate single pioneer "sister" who was probably so depressed, nothing mattered anymore. I think people in the congregations looked so forward to the good laugh at the circus wedding, that they did very little to talk the "sister" into her senses. Very sad . . . .

Not MY JW woman. She does not follow the whole 'submit to the headship thing' at all. Way to bring reproach upon Jehovah's name no?
Yup, I've seen it happen.
OTOH, I've also seen someone pulled away from the baptismal talk at the DC to be accused, by an elder, of only wanting to get baptized so that he could get with the sister that originally contacted him. That wasn't his intention at all. He left a few months later, that experience put a bad taste in his mouth, among other things that happened.
