in a sense it's heartening to see so many other people in the same boat as i am.. i have many questions though after reading the other threads on this site.. my boyfriend's former girlfriends were catholics like me as well.
his dad is an elder and he hasn't been baptized yet.
we have had sex.
Thanks for your advice everyone!
I really appreciate the concern I have felt from this site. It's touching how people who don't even know me personally can take such a genuine interest in my problem.
I am truly thinking a lot about what you guys have said. And they weigh heavy on my mind.
Keep it coming guys!

i didn't mind going to any bar, if i felt like it.
i know that the average jw wouldn't have went to these places.
Talesin,
I know I'm not and never was JW. But my boyfriend is.
I guess he isn't an average JW. =)
first off, i must say i am not a jehovah's witness.
but i am currently involved in an intimate relationship with someon who is.
i just wonder if someone can tell how this works.
Thanks for your advice guys.
It really does sound like he isn't strong in his faith but I guess that's partly because he isn't on good terms with his father right now. But he still talks a lot about his religion. About how he wants to be baptized.
Sigh.
I truly want to bring him out though. I have seen how much he enjoys gift-giving and hhow happy he is when his birthday comes along and people do special things for him.
Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks.

We women are all alike? What exactly do you mean?

Love11, You know what? You just gave voice to something I have been thinking about. Esp. since he has been with this other girl for 10 years now. I cannot, for the life of me believe that he hasn't had sex with her esp. since they have been to the beach alone together.
The first time we did it though, it did seem like he didn't know what he was doing half the time. Although I can't really say since that was *my* first.
I love the way you said: "just because you love someone doesn't mean that you will love your life with them. " It sounds really wise.
Thanks for your advice. Hoping to hear from others too.

One more thing-- creative sex. Premarital creative oral and sex in positions I never realized possible.

It's weird... I guess my JW boyfriend isn't average... Because we have been to a bar, he has drunk alcohol (beer, vodka, tequila) with me, we have fooled around, necked in public (i.e., ion the cinema) had sex (several times), he's a doctor and prescribes vaccines and transfusions...
He watches porn... downloads them to his palm even.
plus he joined the celebration of my birthday and even gave me a gift.
Hmm...

thanka for the advice guys...
I think I will check out what the others have to say as well before finally deciding what to do with this guy.
Sigh... I just wish I didn't love him this passionately. It would be easier to walk away if I felt less for him.

My boyfriend's former girlfriends were Catholics like me as well. His dad is an elder and he hasn't been baptized yet. We have had sex. According to him I was his first. in the same way that he was mine. Being raised Catholic I was taught that virginity was something you gave to your husband. Apparently, I failed in that (in a way). We're both in our late 20's so I guess that means we should be able to handle this better but somehow, it doesn't help.
It hurts that he hasn't introduced me to his family although they know about us (except the sex part of course). I've talked to his mom. And we've had this on again-off again relationship. It's like he keeps swinging between me and this girl he used to date before me. Frankly, its hard.
I was wondering why is it essential-- I mean, the whole have you had sexual relations and whether he/she is baptized.
I hope someone can help figure out what to do.
I truly love this guy.

Hi,
First off, I must say I am not a Jehovah's Witness. But I am currently involved in an intimate relationship with someon who is. I just wonder if someone can tell how this works. Apparently, according to him, my religion (Catholic) is a huge issue with his dad who is an elder in the community. I'm curious because his mom used to be from the Church of Christ before she converted and his former girlfriends were also Catholic like me. And he almost married the last one. They broke up when he and I met and got together,
I love this guy very much. I am willing to convert for him. Although naturally, that's not how I intend to go about it-- in the sense that I want to truly understand the faith then make the leap. He is just sort of like a trigger.
But I guess that shows how serious I am about making this relationship work.
I have some concerns though. Like how he and I have well... already made love and I have come to realize in my studies of the JW faith that it can be reason for disfellowshipping.
Hope someone answers. Thanks
