I do appreciate ALL of your opinions. I'm not quite sure if all understand the depth of what friendship is. I'm trying to be a good friend. I do realize that this all started b/c I placed more focus on a "relationship", but friendship always came first. I truly hope that is understood. I do want him to be happy and I am working to make sure that happens. My hopes for the rest can be put aside as long as my friendship can be maintained. He is staying here with me again. Not on the terms I can only wish for, but b/c I can't stand anyone to be homeless. I have had Awake! shoved in my face a few times in the few hrs he's been here. But hey, who am I to judge. Ordered that book from the public library. If nothing else, it can put my mind at ease. I might have something to interject every once in a while. By the way, completely Bible illiterate, with no particular interest. Anyhoo...the knowledge of everyone on this board is mindblowing. What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. Right?

How can you just let go?
by squeaky inmy boyfriend (on/off 5yrs) has been in and out of this religion since we met 10yrs ago.
right now, he is back on.
it's hard for me to cope with his switching back and forth.

Thank you both very much. I know that he will come around again. I just don't think that I will be sticking around this time. Friendship will always be there. Other than that, well...who knows. I'm just getting really nervous about our meeting tomorrow.
Thanks again though.

My boyfriend (on/off 5yrs) has been in and out of this religion since we met 10yrs ago. Right now, he is back on. It's hard for me to cope with his switching back and forth. I am not a JW. I know that the way he was raised and the person he became conflict in every way. My opinion is that he hates the person he is when not living by JW standards. We are both in our mid/late 20's and he moved across the country to be with me. When he first got here he was off religion. After about 4-5 months (and a small drug habit) he dropped off the face of the earth for 3wks. Earlier this week, he contacted me. He is coming over to get the rest of his belongings tomorrow. He has been one of my best friends for 10yrs. While I really do love him, I know that I am not ready to convert to his religion. I want to be with him so bad. I really do. But am not sure if that is would be in HIS best interest. I just want him to be happy. And, from what I've seen over the past 10yrs, the only time he is truly happy is when he is a devout JW. I guess my question is, am I going to have to let him go? Or is there some way that we can make this work?
