i want to explain my recent reaction to a new poster.
you can choose to quit reading now or go on.. i realize this person was probably in a lot of pain......scrappymomma.
it seems to me that that the initial post was out of frustration and fear of her own feelings but she took it upon herself to put everyone on this board on the defensive.. i am amazed at how tolerant and understanding you all were.
strangler.......i just love honest posts....apologetic posts especially when needed.......bravo!..........oomps
good liteswitch analogy.......
hi im new here but i came for advice im not a religous person but i'm in love with a jehovahs witness,.

btw jim.....it is EXTREMELY rare.....but i do have a great ol gal jw friend who 25 years ago married a WORLDLY guy like you...they are still a happy couple......he is very laid back and non-religious.....and she agreed to be social with his friends and never speak about religion with him.....all of her other siblings married dubs......and ALL are divorced!!....lol........it is horribly paiful for a dub to marry "outside the truth" to a "worldly" dude like you....geeze man you see they have labels for everything.........but it is NOT impossible if both parties are open minded and honest with each other........frankly i hope she cant live without you and you guys can marry and do what my friend did......and even better she wakes up to the REAL truth about "the truth" (that is normally what they call their religion btw)......and you guys can have a NORMAL marriage........oompa

you poor poor thing......luv hurts......esp in your position........JW's believe you must "mary only in the lord" and they take that to mean marry ONLY another jw......you could aways agree to become one for her love, as long as she knows you really dont believe and will probably one in name only, and become very slack in the future....however, the one jw one not is a real pain.......she can have HER friends and you can have YOUR friends, but she will not want to hang with them because they are WORLDLY......anyone not a jw is WORLDLY and jws are not supposed to associate with them except for reason of conversion
trust me......this is a painful place to be as i left the faith after 45 years and my jw wife is still hardcore.....she does not even agree to have our next door neighbor over for a cookout!!!.........says she has nothing in common with them since they do not worship jehovah, nor have the same hope and principles as her........trust me there are few other faiths that are soooooooooo judgemental of others in their own faith and EVERYONE not a jw..........btw..........a jw minister CAN NOT marry a jw if her mate is not one.......they call that assisting a jw to become "unevenly yoked".....btw....both the quotes in this posts are quotes from their bible.......and ya........they even have their own bible that says things they want it to......it is not like most other bibles.........
i feel your pain......i fell in love with a catholic girl right after high school......oh it could have been sweet, but could not convert her, and it was not long that she new i was pretty brainwashed and in a very controling religion (cult).....
how hardcore jw is she?.......if she has doubts you might could get her out of this controling religion (they tell you EVERYTHING you can and cant do and you MUST comply or get kicked out and shunned by all friends and family forever.....that is the worst part of the faith)......there is a great website called JWFACTS.com and it will help you see the real deal about us.....i wish your gal would view it but they are forbidden to look at anything critical of them...the call that an APOSTATE website........is she will not view it, you might could find if she has ANY doubts about her faith, then use the site to help crack it wider..........................good luck friend!!!............oompa
and sent me a personal message using the letter icon in the top right if you want to talk or chat online........you will have MANY questions.......
apologize to those who find this offensive - i laughed til i cried.
so true!!!!.

that was fantastic!!!........so many of these points were huge issues for me for years......esp all the rape allowed crap.......but having to marry your rapist who took your virginity has always disturbed me greatly........oompa
they are not your leaders!.
here it is, in print, on page 110 above the picture of "the nine".. "the governing body relies on god's holy spirit for direction.
its members do not regard themselves as the leaders of jehovah's people.
I thought the annointe were "taking the lead" in the preaching and teaching work?!?!?...........duh.......that would make them LEADERS would it not???
and if they are not frikkin leaders.......then what the heck are they?....what would they call themselves??.........i see a real problem here for these guys.......they call themselves SLAVES (barf) an yet what slave could take the LEAD in ANYTHING??.........makes no sense...........oompa
and ditto password.........great quote you found on leadership.......lmao.......they provide leadership without leading?!?!?......too funny
gonna start it again for the summer.
nutrition plan and everything.
i was introduced to it by seeker (who i don't see much around anymore), after he gave it a glowing recommendation.
