blondy-i am in the same situation as you, in fact it scared me when you were relating your story. my girlfriend is also jw(3rd gen.). we have been dating for awhile. it took a long time for her to tell me that she was a witness, and i have done some studying with her and her cousin- but they never made sense to me and my arguments made her question our relationship, we have broken up many times and gotten back together in short periods of time. i really love her but her father was "informed" by other jw's that she was dating. this was followed by her telling me she had to "repair her relationship" with jehovah and then she called after 3 days of not answering my calls or emails, she told me that she didnt know what love is and she can only have "friendships" with people. she sounded so insincere and unlike herself that i knew somebody had to have controlled or shamed(guilted) whatever. i am not versed in the bible so countering them scripturaly is somewhat hard and every attempt ive made trying to convince her to see the "truth" of the hypocrisy of those around her and those that control her life has been met with her telling me that they are given divine inspiration or whatever new line of crap they decide to spew forth that week. it frustrates me to see so many smart people taken advantage of because of a desire to know god or have faith- especially when its someone you love. thank you for the book reccomendation- if you would post more it would be greatly appreciated, kit and maybe we can help each other if possible. sorry this is so long but i have nowhere else to go ,thank you
