Dating a JW info

by Lady Lee in

other than telling a person to run:what do you think a person (who knows nothing about the jws) needs to know if they are getting involved with a jw.what would be helpful to them to end things before they get further involved?what will help them if they decide to go further and marry this jw?what challenges would a non-jw woman have if she gets involved with the jw man?what about having children and the struggles that will develop from that?.

if you think of anything else that would be halpful please add it to the thread.

i would like to have a lot of this info in one thread besides some of the great "dating a jw" threads we already have in the best of section.

MJ-- thanks for the awesome advice...its really helping me with my decision making. i dont know if he was baptized a JW...its somthing i really need to find out. im really hoping he wasnt because i may still have time to direct him in the right path.

i have a question for anyone out there--->is it possible to be a JW but not activly practice it. or better yet... if you decide to start practicing it again and later (say a couple of months) decide to still be a JW but to stop practicing...is that possible without being shunned or disfellowshiped or whatever?

thanks bestofme123

LL--

thanks again for the information. i have done some more research with the other information you have given me. i havent really gotten to talk to him about it yet...but from what i saw of him today it seemed like he already made up his mind. i kno his family is extremely serious about this religion which also scares me a little. i was wondering....who is considered an elder? grandparents or actual watchtower people? thanks. bestofme123

A Million Questions

by ConcernedMom in

hi, i have been lurking at this site and a few other jw or xjw sites in search of some clarity but i am just getting more confused...

my 15 year old daughter has been dating a 17 year old jw for about 2 1/2 months.

he seems like a very nice kid--very shy (he is just starting to talk around me now...still not too much to my husband).

bestofme123

i am 17 and dating a JW. we have been dating for about 7 months and we both love eachother. i always knew he was a JW but that he hadnt practiced it in a few years. justa couple days ago he said that he wanted to begin practicing it again to be pure and have a stable life. since we are both "not mature" he doesnt know if he can still date me. i have never been pressured into his religion and he keeps it to himself. what i am looking for are answers about the dating issue or ways to tell him that he can have me and his religion together. any response would be great. thanks. bestofme123

im new at this site because i am looking for help and answers concerning JW's and relationships. i have been dating a JW for a little over seven months. he has always technically been a JW but has not practiced it in many years. just recently he decided to begin practicing it again. this is where it starts. we are both young...about 17, and we are both truly in love with eachother. but as of today, he is not sure that we can continue dating because his religion says that you cannot date until you are ready for marrige. i really dont know what to do because i havent loved anyone like i love him. i am willing to accept his religion wholeheartly and i have told him that. i am just looking for some guidence and some promising words from every1 out there...if you are or know a lot about JW's please help me to understand it more and what a big impact it has on relationships. thanks. bestofme123
