Well I know its been a few weeks since i last posted on here but my sweetheart and I have had much to discuse and have come to an agreement that we wont let our difference in religion get in the way of our love and happiness. She is about to tell the elders about us and has assured me that though thay may not like it thay will not stand in her way or forbid it as she has told me that there are about 12 members of her kingdom hall that are married to non Jehovah's Witnesses. She as also said that the elders would not interfear in our lives outside off the kingdom hall and I know that she is telling the truth and belive her so now we wait and see how things turn out hopefuly for the best. thankyou all for listening to me and replying to my posts on this forums.

im in love with a Jehovah's Witness
by saddler ini've fallen in love with a jehovah's witness and i know she feels the same way about me but the problem is that im a methodist and cant find it in me to give up my faith and become a jehovah's witness as i would not expect her to give up her faith and it is driving us both crazy.
i've known this lovely lady for the past 8 years and have only now told her how i feel and every second im away from her im thinking of her wanting to be with her.
so im asking people who might know or be able to help

Ive been reading through alot of posts on here and quite a lot say run away. But this girl dose preach to me about her religion i work with her and have done for the past 8 years and she is kind , caring and above all she has a sense of hummer and i cant see that running away from her just becouse of her religion will benafit either of us. i admit i am in love with the girl not her religion and would be alot happyer if she was not a J/W but she is and i would like to find a way sometime in the future to take her away from it. so with that in mind here is a question to all the EX J/W's that read these posts WHAT MADE YOU LEAVE THE RELIGION ? WAS IT FOR LOVE OF A NON BELIVER ? WAS IT BECOUSE YOU WERE KICKED OUT ? OR SOME OTHER REASON i would like to know if anyone wants answer. thanks again for all your advice.

ive just had a nice long talk again with my sweetheart and have asked a few more questians firstly she is baptised and has been for 14 years she goes to 4 meetings on a sunday and has 1 at her flat on wednesdays but as for her minestry work as she calls it im still not sure how many hours a week she dose this for. we talked about both our religions but it seens she is deeply commited to her religion and would not give it up as i am with mine i have told her though that i am willing to talk to the elders of her kingdom hall and that i would like to know where i stand in there eyes. my thoughts and emotions are all mixed up at the moment she has said that we could not get marride in her kingdom hall or a methodist church which just leaves a registry office but at the moment this is fine by me as even though im a methodist i havent been to a church service for several years. the questian of children did come up though but as im 38 and she is 43 that might not be a problem as she feels it is too late for her to have children even though i would like to i would be prepared respect her wishes as i have said i would respect her wishes on other things such as medical ethics ie blood transfusions. at the moment we have told no one of our feelings for each other so as not to have people gossiping and that we want to take it 1 step at a time. thankyou all again for you friendly advice and i would like some help of what questions to ask her becouse i cant think straight and have no idea what questions are relevent in our situation .

Thankyou to all who answered my plee's for advice I do know for certain that my sweethart's mother is a Jehovah's Witness and that she was brought up in the faith but her father was not a JW and her 2 sisters have left the faith and her brother never joined as her father would not allow him to. She do'se go to meetings but how many i dont know andd she do'se go door to door but again for how long im not sure. one thing she has said though is when we were talking about holidays and the fact ive not been away for nearly 20 years her reply was "If I was not a JW we would go away together" this in mind got me thinking is she a true beliver and is she baptized. The problem is I dont want to make it look like im trying to pull her in a direction that she do'se not want to go I could cope with not celerbrating Birthdays or Christmass with her becouse i could spend the time with my family as for children I would like to think that we could both be civil and agree that the children would learn both faiths and allow them to choose there own faith when thay are of an age to understand what religion means. I do know with 100% certainty that she feels the same about me as i do about her. thank you all again for you help and advice im not going to run away from her or her faith im going to see it through to the end and hope the end is a marige made in hevan parden the pun
