you cannot draw a line between an adult refusing treatment and a newborn infant because the babies cannot decide for themselves, so we come to the conclusion that someone must decide for them. either: A - doctors act to save the child's life in the only way they can or: B - cult member parents decide to refuse treatment based on flawed doctrine and their children die. what they feel about it doesn't matter two ticks. life is more important than offending their sensibilities. getting hypothetical about it and saying what if, what if, what if is going beyond what the reality of the situation is. it is useless and an exaggeration. either the children die or live. the decision was made to give them life... sounds good to me.

You need to walk away from this. Everything about it stinks, so much so I can't even begin to iterate the ways, and you're just going to get your heart ripped out and fed to you.
You're 23 - barely starting your adult life. Count it a lesson learned and find someone else. Honestly, I mean this for your best...
this is true.
but if he does not at least try ...it will haunt him all the same.

okay, first things first... if you're going to talk to a JW about their religion you have to understand it or at least know about it or you will be overwhelmed. it really is impossible to know what it's like to be one unless you've lived it, but the second best thing you can do is arm yourself with knowledge.
jwfacts.com is good. there are other sites but this is the only one i know of off-hand.
this is the thing, though, if she knows you've looked at 'apostate' sites (basically anyone who says anything bad about the jw faith) then she will shut her brain off and won't listen. all the love in the world won't make her listen. you have to be smart how you say it.
whenever she starts talking about her beliefs you need to pay close attention... carefully offer another view and drop a few facts you learned.
see how she reacts.
be very gentle at first...or you'll lose her. this is really dangerous...cause if she sees you as a threat to her faith then that is worse than a threat to her marriage in jw terms.
it might be a good idea to ask her how she feels about being a jehovahs witness and just get her to talk about it and feel easy about explaining things with you. i hope she hasn't tried to convert you.
learn all you can
ask questions
listen well

My letter to the "Glorious Ones."...
by Justice-One ini thought you guys might get a hoot out of this letter that i just mailed..... dear elders (or should i call you glorious ones?).
you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all the people all the time.
and you certainly do not have me fooled anymore.

an elder is at my house right now studying with my dad in the next room. he can probably hear me typing now he knows it's me on the computer using his elder sixth sense for sniffing out sinners.
i got two crank calls in a row (the phone is right by the computer on the desk) ...then someone called a third time and i just picked up the phone and slammed it loudly. it rang a fourth time...i let it ring.
my dad comes in and answers it:
"Oh hi brother so-and-so!"
...now i know that elder is going to tell everyone that i purposely slammed the phone when a brother called cause i'm evil and i don't go to the meetings anymore.
