  I guess I just need to prepare myself and accept the fact that he probably won't be attending!

  All I can say is wow. I am NOT baptized and the ceremony is NOT being held in a church. This is one of the very reasons why i'm not in the religion today. Just because the person performing the ceremony isn't a JW and is of the clergy they are thought to be a "direct link to satan." No one can judge or say that for sure but God!!!! All I can say is this is the very reason!!!

  This is weighing heavy on my heart. But I will have to deal with it like I've been doing for the last 31 years of my life. Where the KH always took precedence over award programs, school plays, and everything else that wasn't either KH, theocratic ministry school, field service, or whatever else!!!!

  That's what I'm thinking. That he's getting pressure. If it's personal choice then I can get on him about that. I just can see that this is going to get very ugly.

  No it will not be in a church. It will be at a country club, both the ceremony and reception. We were just going to have him dress in a regular suit and not tell my dad....but he insists on the information before hand. I would really like them (parents) to be there. But if they decide not to then I will deal with it.

  I was what you call "born into the truth." It's all I've ever known. I'm not practicing the religion now and I was never baptized. My fiance is baptist, we care having his Pastor whom I very much like marry us. The problem is my dad is an elder and he keeps pressuring me into trying to choose a judge or government official to marry us. Is there anything in the JW belief that would prohibit my dad from attending my wedding just because a pastor is marrying us? I plan on confronting him and have him decide one way or another. I just need to know what angle he may come from. Thanks in advanced.
