i'm 21 years old and currently in a relationship with a baptised jw.
i have been studying with the jws for 2 years before we met.
well, i have to admit, i did not enjoy studying with them until about 10 months ago when i became interested of digging the "truth" although it means my sources was only the jw.
I say if you love this guy, love him enough to let him go and let him maybe find a JW sister. Be selfless and not selfish.
That's what i always imply to him. That I am not a baptised JW and may change mind later. I told him I am not promising him forever but as long as he wants me to stay I will stay with him. He says he's not looking for anybody else.

thank you everyone.
Right now I don't think he really realizes the difference between the organization and God himself and he doesn't seem to know of my worth more than being a part of the organization. But, I am willing to wait. I love him so much and I wouldn't run away because I want to give him a chance to realise everything. Yesterday I asked him if he would still court me if he has not seen me attending meetings but would know me in some other way. It hurts, he said MAYBE no. I do understand because we had only known about 5 mos...he doesn't know me that much yet. I told him I would ask the same question again once he has really known who I am and his reply may determine of our future together. I have written a letter which I plan to give him whenever he would have the same reply again...my letter has in it the ff:
It is better not to be loved than to be loved for who I am not. I love you that's why I have to be honest with you even if it would mean losing you. It hurts but I cannot afford to lose myself. It's but normal for an employer to consider the schools attended by two different applicants because he does not know the applicants personally but maybe familiar with the school. God is entirely different because he knows his people personally and would judge them individually.
The letter is 3 pages long but these I think are the most important thougths.
again...thank you...
comments you will not hear at the february 27, 2005 wt study (january 15, 2005 issue)
end in 1925. christ completes his conquest.
are jws the only ones who think we are living in the time of the end?.
If the political elements decide to get rid of religion altogether, why would they leave the JW out?
I asked it with the one I am studying with and he said "because JWs do not participate in politics".

He technically should not be having anything to do with you since you are not a baptised witness anyway..
Once I asked him why he broke up with his nonJW girlfriend then still courted me as I happen to be a nonJW also. He says its different because his ex did not want to convert, as for me he's looking forward to my being JW. I do not know if it is conditional love he has for me but I am willing to gamble and hope that soon he would realise of loving me for who I am. Once I told him if ever we broke up, he will be the one to ask for it and he said he may not know so much about me but he is willing to accept me for who I am. Maybe, he meant it. I will wait for the right time to tell him of my doubts...as for now I would make him realise I have been the girl he wants to love not because I am part of the religion. We'll get to know each other first then I'l let him decide if he wants to stay

Doubtfully yours,
True, dedicated JWs do not enter committed relationships with non-JWs.
Well, as I observed him he is not as dedicated as those JWs I've been with...he skips meetings because he has to work, seldom does he go out to preach. When we have talks he always says he's so guilty because he's not doing anything and his spirituality has not grown. We both went to college and finished it and he always tells me how he spent his time for nonsense things maybe referring to his education though I don't feel the same because I don't have regrets of finishing my studies...that's what I always tell him that we need to have our identity also and he has nothing to be guilty of.

Stillajwexelder: Sorry to ask a personal question which is none of my business - but have you had any sexual liason yet with this JW boyfriend yet? The question is relevant - trust me - never been to such sort of thing.

I'm 21 years old and currently in a relationship with a baptised JW. I have been studying with the JWs for 2 years before we met. Well, I have to admit, I did not enjoy studying with them until about 10 months ago when I became interested of digging the "truth" although it means my sources was only the JW. 5 months ago I met my boyfriend in a visit to Bethel. I did not know him that much yet I agreed that we could establish a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and use the time that we are together to know each other. Recently, I have been discussing with my brother about the JW(my family members are not JWs) and he suggested that I'd do a research about the JW and he concluded that after I'm done, I would be convinced that none of the religions are true. I agreed to do research and found about this site(been to freeminds.com too)...my gosh...it was hard to accept the things the exJWs say about the organization because I have to admit, I swallowed up everything the JW told me, about blood transfusion, disfellowshipping, etc...etc...Now I am confused, the elders have approved of my being an unbaptized publisher (before I begun to have doubts) and my boyfriend is expecting me to get baptised. When I asked him what quality he loves about me the most, he told me...number one,you serve Jehovah. He told me that before we met he had no plans of courting a non-JW because he always felt guilty before (because he had a non-JW girlfriend) when he attended meetings. He broke up with his first girlfriend because she was a non-JW although he claimed she's a good person. He is my first boyfriend...you may say 5 months is too fast but I really love him. Now that I do have doubts about the organization, I still plan to attend meetings but certainly I do not have plans of getting attached or baptised. I haven't told my boyfriend of my doubts...I'm so afraid...I've been with JWs for quite a long time and they do have that pride...they think they are the only truth. I'm thinking I'l just let him find his own doubts(I hope it will happen) because if I would be the one to initiate it, I would be labeled bad association. I do not want to leave him until he tells me to. I cannot think of a good excuse if he ask me why am I deferring my baptism.
what is actually meant by "not part of the world".
jws claim they are no part of the world.
in joining here, am i guilty of being a "part of this world"?
I, also strongly disagree of limiting my friendship only with those who are JW. I've got good friends who are not JW and I am not even forcing them to join the religion. We should well know that not all JW are good and not all those who are not JW are bad associations. I don't even refer to them as "worldly" myself, I don't think they deserve it just because they aren't JW
Who do you want to see again if the "earth be restored to a paradise?"
are you the type that's easily influenced by the opinion of others?
i'm easy to influence, but once i'm back alone, i do what i wanted to do originally.
how about you, are you easily influenced?
still beginning to think on my own, quite young,still
