Is the ratio of JW women to men in america kept and freely known. Do they have breakdowns by age? My guess is more ladies than gentleman, but I'm curious about the truth if it is known.
Thanks,

Help - I'm in Love
by Downdog01 inhi i work with a smart, sexy, single jw who i get a along with great and over the years i've developed enormous affection for her.
based on this i don't want to do anything to hurt her.
i am not a witness and though i would like to pursue her romantically my sense is if she were to accept my overtures it could ruin her life since her family is very involved in witnessing and close association with one such as me could lead to reprimands for her.. my question is this.

Hi Sunbeam,
Thank you again for all your help!
One question; how did you even get married if he was still "half in" WTTBS?
Is that forbidden or just REALLY frowned upon?
Thanks,

How does one become a JW???
by Downdog01 inevery source i've looked at is very vague and my witness friends just keep encouraging me to stop asking questions and come to meetings.
my sense is, since i disagree so much with jw doctrine and the way it is presented in awake and especially watchtower that i'd never make it as a jw.
still i am curious what the process is and what "tests" if any one must pass.. any info will be much appreciated.. thanks,.

Prisca,
I've already read it and plan to get "Releasing the Bonds" next. Any other ideas for my shopping cart would be appreciated...
Thanks

Sunbeam,
Thank you for the encouragement, suggestions and wit.
I think my lady love is too intelligent not to have some doubts, yet she also seems very committed. Her whole family are witnesses and they are close, so the idea of leaving is very threatening. Plus all her childhood memories are tied up with doing stuff like going d2d, so leaving could not be taken lightly in any way. Still she had some questions about Franz's book when she learned I'd read it and liked me well enough to start a personal bible study with me until it became clear we would spend most of the time with me picking the bad logic of the literature apart.
I'll get "Releasing the Bonds" and try to be her friend, till something more seems to have a possible positive outcome. If it is true that "great love requires great background reading" I may be up to the task. Any further suggestions on your part would be appreciated.
Thanks Bunches,

I'm sensing that this is a rutted path with many perils where only the stout of heart or the very foolish will venture. As a result all the best advice is to give up this idea and move on.
I keep reminding myself that the Dalai Lama says, "Great Love requires great risk." But maybe I'm just a selfish egotist who hopes to beat the odds.
Does anyone out there have experience with this type of situation? -

Hi,
Hi I work with a smart, sexy, single JW who I get a along with great and over the years I've developed enormous affection for her. Based on this I don't want to do anything to hurt her. I am not a witness and though I would like to pursue her romantically my sense is if she were to accept my overtures it could ruin her life since her family is very involved in witnessing and close association with one such as me could lead to reprimands for her.
My question is this. Is it possible for a witness to date and later marry a non-witness who is open to her continued activity as a JW? If so how should this person present himself to seem OK to JW's even though he does not share their beliefs.
Thanks for your help and insight,
