Religion and Relationships?
by DocHayes inhow much does religion factor with who you decide to have a relationship with?
of course as a jw you weren't supposed to marry or even date someone who wasn't a dub.
but now that you're out how much does that matter?

I don't think you're being too picky. but...
Have you examined your own beliefs, your values, and the difference between religion and spirituality?
I am currently very confused with all of this myself, but I have realized that this is what I need to figure out. I do know that I want someone with the same type of values and morals as myself, and if you really think about it...what is good is bible based (with loose interpretation) but generally good. What is spirituality? What drives your hopes and dreams, your faith, do you trust in something? Who do you talk to in your head? Do you ever ask for help? What really gives you hope that everything will be ok?
Who you find in a relationship should respect and understand your answers to these questions.
or respect that you have no answers. and not pressure you to have the same answers as them.
Most people are just looking for someone who has the same values and morals.
Although, I am still confused and should be seeking advice rather than giving it.....just like to think out loud.

I made "Pult" for my mom and surprised her on her night shift last night.
She loves "Pult", it is a potato dumpling type thing (Swedish) that is really messy and hard to make (for me). She gets it once a year!

I am a bit confused. He has discussed with me that he can never be in a JW relationship again.
He and his wife are divorced (she did not "agree to it"). He has told them that he wishes to be married again.
That being said, he is not able to marry a JW.... If I became a JW I could not be with him for sure...Why would they try to convert me....?
oh my this is so.....ugh..... are these rules truly Bible based?

He's been attending regularily and ignored for about a year.
His application to go back was in the form of a letter stating his intentions.
We never lived together. I do not believe that he will go back to his wife. (whole different story)
I am appreciating all of your comments, good and bad. It's making me feel less alone.

I keep reading, over and over again my post and the replies. These words are hard to hear, hard to read.
I would probably tell myself the same thing if I was objective and my heart wasn't involved. I truly don't believe that he is telling me we will be together in the future just to save my feelings. We have both been struggling with this decision, both of us crying. This must be so hard for him to be so torn. He misses his friends and his family. His children are becoming lost and are struggling. I wish I would have married him, when I had the chance. Would it change things as far as the elders are concerned if we were married?
I reach out to you, because I have finally told him today, to do what he needs to do, and leave me alone. This is the hardest thing that I have ever done.
How long does this usually take? What is the average? Is there mostly JWs in this forum? Would they allow him back in if we were married? Would they allow him to be married again?
How is it that a group of people can follow the Bible, but judge and control others at the same time?
What would happen if I went to talk to the elders?? Would they talk to me?
More help please

Non-JW dating a JW.
My currently disfellowshiped JW is a 30 year old divorced father (3 children). We have been together for 2 years. We plan to be married. He has been attending meetings for one year (disfellowshiped for 3 years).
He is my life, my best friend, my everything and I was the same for him. He has recently made a decision to try to return to the congregation for himself and for his children. I am trying to support this decision. We have separated. We still plan to be together in the future. At this time, I have asked him not to phone me or contact me in any way. I am a basket-case and am falling apart. How long will this take? He has already made the application to go back to the church. I am worried that the elders will tell him that he can never be with me. He is not allowed to be with anyone in the congregation, his X-wife did not want the divorce. Will they tell him that?
Does anyone have any good news for me? Any information would be helpful, but try to go easy on me.......
Thanks
