Thanks for all the advice! I have the book Crisis of Conscience and I am reading it now! AS soon as Iam finished I will be giving it to him with a small note saying...from a genuine friend ...knowledge you need to know! If he does not read it like you say at least he will know it exists! So hurt and sorry for him..

13Impossible Situation?Of Course it did not work!
by smily inso i agreed to have a look at all this jw stuff just to save our relationship and after all that iam still not good enough!
well iam sure this is not a surprise to all you wise people here but i still dont understand....i never did think love conquered all...but ....he feels that as he is having doubts it must be wrong..i asked him what was more important-what i believed in or who i really was as a person?
he said i just dont understand...of course it was most important what i believed in and he cannot see himself living his life with anyone who is not fully in the truth!

Sorry, I need to vent for a moment...
by Abandoned innormally, i don't mind where i'm at in my life.
i'm forty, no kids, low-paying job, live in a trailer court, etc (and trust me there's more to the etc, then i've already mentioned), but today i had a hard time.. one of my best friends from high school was a big dope head (no offense to the dope heads out there).
he showed up nearly every day to our first period art class smelling of weed and was generally so whacked out of his mind that he got horrible grades.. he finally graduated - barely - and made it to college.

Hey there, You never know but you may well have hated that good job if you had it now and if your wife left you Iam sure it was her loss not yours...you never know what might be just around the corner.....its surprising how days go by and they just seem the same old...and then you turn a corner for some unknown reason and BANG everything chances...there is still hope....dont waste your hate on JW's they seem to have their own problems!!!!! be glad they are not yours anymore!

yah,where are all the good guys...funny He was so nice before He moved our friendship onwards He knew who I was and yet he still went forward....selfish I believe...Iam sure god would not like that!! Perhaps I should remind him of this now that he wants to know why we are not friends anymore?

Impossible situation! Can it ever work?
by smily inwell, things have moved on...my jw man has been agonizing over whether he should be seeing me or not?!
if i was a jw it would all be different?!
is that not like saying if i was not "black,american,german,white ect" surely this is racism of some kind?

Ok so we are doomed!!! Does that give me the right to give up so easily? If being a JW is as bad as it seems than if I truly love him I should have a look and then I should apply patience,understanding,patience,doubt,questions and most of all love?! If he is dating me and risking all perhaps he has doubt? of course we are doomed anyway...but at least I can live knowing I tried......

Thanks for all the help! I always knew he was a JW that was never a secret I think I just never took it seriously also because he was df'd!.Now that he is reinstated its all a much bigger issue.I have met his family and friends he is not hiding me! It was my idea to have a look because it is so obviously important to him!!! He has not tried to convert me yet! No bible study has been suggested.just a look at the books and beliefs.

Well, Things have moved on...My JW man has been agonizing over whether he should be seeing me or not?! If I was a JW it would all be different?! Is that not like saying if I was not "black,american,german,white ect" surely this is racism of some kind? Why am I to be punished for what I have never been? So I have agreed (mind with a very heavy heart) to have a look?! (you all knew this was coming and have heard it all before,Iam sure!) The weight seems to have lifted (at least somewhat temporarly) from him to ME! Can this ever be resolved? Can love really triumph over THIS? I feel better when I think of him...he seems so much happier now? but have I somehow given false hope? Our we doomed?
Advice please? You are all so much wiser and more experienced than I !!!!!!!

I read somewhere there is a version of the bible that you can discuss with JW's Could somebody let me know what this is? Where is it best to start reading? I have no christian background so understanding JW's is very difficult! Why do I feel like time is of the essence? Iam curious about what my man believes but many have said if I start studying the JWs will not believe i want the truth! any way around this?

He does seem to pick and choose but as Iam not sure of the rules I do not know how serious it is.He does drink and we have had some kissing! He always feels guilty after and backs up and gets quite upset for a few days.He also does sports and has some non-JW friends.
