If a spouse never practiced the religion he/she was born into, are there less chances of them becoming a Jehovah Witness if their mate studies to become one?
Does it make a difference?
Has anyone experienced this?

What are the odds of a non-religious spouse becoming a J.W. convert?

That is exactly what is happening to me best mate right now. He ignored his born religion all his life. She became a JW and worked on him, along with the elders for 3 years. He gets baptised soon.
If he had had Biblical grounding, I could have quickly and easily demonstrated to him how unscriptural the JWs are.

Jaff, I was hoping for just the opposite reaction.
I thought that maybe if the spouse didn't have any Biblical background, that the spouse would want to research it even more.
I see what you mean, though.

The stats out there suggest that your risk of being inducted into a destructive cult are TWICE the statistical risk of contracting chicken pox

I think Randy Watters has a study cited by an evangelical Christian group on his website that says that people who have some nominal connection to some Christian faith are more likely to be attracted to the JWs than those who do not.

Thanks, KLS.
This is the situation that I am dealing with here, so I was wondering if there was a statistical view on it.
Do you know of any couples that fit this category?

Edited to add: Thanks, Jeff, I'll check our Randy's site.
