I have a lot of respect for those of you questioning the authority of WT. I have tried to have discussions with my beau to no avail. I am wondering how a seemingly intelligent person gets roped into things that to me seem quite nonsensical. I am really coming from an ignorant standpoint as I myself have never belonged to any type of church, and therefore am not intending to offend only trying to understand.

Is JW all doom and gloom?
by uninitiated ini am in a relationship with a man who is jw.
the things he tells me leads me to believe that their beliefs espouse doing nothing to better the world as it is hopeless, and all is coming to an end anyway.
this seems like a cowardly way to face the hardships in this world.

He talks about marriage, yet I haven't met a single person close to him. He has told me that he has bought the ring, but that until I make some serious changes (which ain't gonna happen) he cannot propose. It's like a control tactic. I am beginning to understand things a whole lot better. thank you all for your input thus far.

He was at my house last weekend and referred to me as a friend while speaking on the phone. He later told me that he was breaking the rules by seeing me in private and he could not tell the members of his congregation about me.

How incredibly sad. I assume that my active interest in the community, opinions on politics, and the fact that stand up for what I think is right is only working to my detriment in this relationship. I find it sad that his religion, which I thought was supposed to bring people together, is really the only thing that is pulling us apart.

Trust me, He is at constant odds with himself over our relationship and I do not believe we will be together too much longer, despite the fact that I have tried to be very accomodating and non judgemental regarding his beliefs.
