  Dating a JW info

  by Lady Lee in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  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.

  The man I am seeing is JW. I don't know where to begin other than to say I am not JW. It hasn't been a problem but I'm wondering if it will be. He would rather ignore this fact, but I don't want to adress this issue later when it grows bigger. We will be married someday. It's something we've always known and isn't a question. We have worked so far because I accept that he is JW, and encourage his beliefs. I am christian, and I think his faith is amazing, and wouldn't want him to not be JW. I think it has given him great morals and turned him into a wonderful person. I don't want to become JW however, because I don't believe in one true religion and I know JW do. I would be open to attending church or 'meetings' with him and even bringing along our future children. I will not however let go of holidays, refuse to save my life or my child's life by taking a blood transfusion, or ever agree that the JW are the one true religion. He knows all of this, and has only said he wishes I felt different or understood more but that he accepts that that is how I feel. But I'm scared of the problems my opposition to his JW traditions might eventually cause. After reading through your site, and posts, often you have said that JW try to hide "worldy gfs" but my man hasn't and I have never even heard of this term. I know his family discourages us becoming serious, but he does not care. I also have read that JW will put their church first, I would understand if he put his faith and beliefs first, but he hasn't put his church before me ever. I'm getting worried though now that this might come out later, and that right now we are really just experiencing a 'honeymoon' type bliss. I just need some advice. Am I lucky to have found a JW who can respect my beliefs and that I can respect theirs? Or are we just sort of biding time? Anyone with experience in making it work?
