my fiance says he is a christian.

he does not claim to be any religion, but his tendancies lean toward jehovah's witness.
Hi Cas,
I was raised, and still am, a Southern Baptist. He knows what I am and what I believe. I would never try to change him, and he said the same about me. I would not want him to try to influence me or my kids.... but I saw him doing just that with my son on his birthday. I had friends when I was young that were Witnesses. All I ever knew about them was they did not celebrate birthdays.

Thanks Hope4Others,
He was raised in a Christian environment where they celebrated birthdays, holidays and went to church. He said he out grew those fantasies when he turned 18 and learned the truth. He doesn't go to the Kingdom Halls or participate in anything like that. I know he believes that once you die, that's it until you're resurrected. I didn't know where any of this was coming from if he read his Bible and was a Christian. He's never admitted to being a witness but seems to have a lot of respect for them.
I love him, but I don't know if I can marry him. He loves my boys, and my youngest sure does think a lot of him. We've been dating for 6 months and he's really wanting to get married right away. Although he did break up with me, he's done that before and I'm not sure how serious he is about it this time. I may just let him go and be miserable for a while. May be better than being miserable the rest of my life. On the other hand, he can be so sweet and caring. He said he would take care of me. But I know the smart thing would be to run. He just seems so extreme with everything. Little things that don't bother me are grounds for an argument or breakup. Oh well.
Is someone here married to a witness but isn't one themselves? If so, how is that working for you?
Thanks for letting me talk,
Hopeless!

My fiance says he is a Christian. Believes in God and that Jesus is his savior. He does not claim to be any religion, but his tendancies lean toward Jehovah's Witness. He told me he will not go into a church because they preach lies and they are houses of Satan. He was upset with me for giving blood and told me he would never do it. If his kids needed blood or die, he would know they would be ok. They would just have to die. Not celebrating Holidays and Birthdays is fine with me. He told me he would not try to change me, however he made a comment to my 6 year old about his toys not being cool, but he did say that my son was cool and everyday was his birthday. He mentioned something about the year 1914, that's when Jesus came or something like that.... what is that about?
He gets upset with me because I think differently than he does. He has called off everything with me and him, told me to not call him or come over because I allowed my ex-husband to come to my son's birthday party. My ex-husband was invited but he wasn't. He wouldn't have come anyway. Is all this related to him being a JW? Can someone help me to understand his views? He told me he only wanted to change two things about me, my name and where I lived. He said I could decorate the house at Christmas, listen to holiday music, but he wouldn't participate. What is it about not Pledging Allegiance to the Flag or hating soldiers? Is that also a JW thing? Just trying to understand.
He also won't pray with others. He prays and reads his Bible all the time. but not with others, he says they are hypocrits. Including my brother-in-law preacher and my other brother-in-law who is a Christian that likes to pray before meals. My fiance won't participate in group prayer. He is done with me I'm sure, but I'd like to understand him better if things work out between us. Please someone help me.
