am still trying to come to a course of action to deal with my wife and her renewed zeal for the wts.
one new detail that i find interesting is she was assigned a sister to study with and the gal called somewhat early yesterday morning and my wife chewed her up and told her she does not want to study with her, she want so study with sister whatever.
i am sure that the sister that called was somewhat taken aback by this.. i think a slant i may be able to use is the anointed/fds since my wife really did not know anything about this and especially since she gave me the phone when she was talking to the first sister she knows and i asked her some questions and she confirmed that they were one in the same as well as how people can fall from being anointed by not be 'faithful'.

great information here. this site was created by two annointed Jehovah's Witnesses who were disfellowshipped for tryint to bring the molestation problem to the attention of their congregation. screen 1 is especially useful for what you're trying to accomplish. =)
this is my first post so let me start out by saying hi haha.
i'm not a jehovah's witness and neither is anyone in my family.
my daughter is dating a born in though and there are obviously problems because of it.
As I said in my first post, it's a complicated situation and I assure you my daughter never intended to get this attached to the boy. They were just friends and met when she was 13 and he was 14 through a friend of hers who lives down the street. For some reason they hit it off and became great friends over IM, XBOX Live, and on the phone. His parents didn't know anything about him talking to her until very recently and they talked almost everyday for the last 3 years. they do other things (they both have jobs they like, friends, do well in school (both are homeschooled), enjoy other activities) and aren't obsessed with each other or anything or i would have put a stop to it a long time ago. shortly after my daughter turned 16 we found out we were going to move because my husband, whose a builder, got a huge bid in southern california building a subdivision and, very strangely enough haha, it's only a couple of miles away from where this boy lives. as soon as they found out, they decided to consider themselves a couple since they would be able to be together in person soon. we're moving there in september and he'll be back from Hawaii as soon as he turns 18 in december (he was moving back in July, after visiting his mother for 3 months, until his mother found out about my daughter and decided to keep him till he's 18).
His dad is a JW also, someone asked, but he's quite different than the mother. also, i don't know if the boy (i can't say his name of course) has been baptised. someone else said there's no one-on-one time for JW daters to talk but obviously these kids have been doing that for years haha. my second oldest daughter is also very good friends with him and my husband even talks to him quite often. even though it's unconventional, the kids really care for each other and I haven't been able to dissuade my daughter from wanting to be with him. for some reason they haven't been interested in anyone else since they met so we'll see what happens when they finally do get together i guess. i have told her many times that it might very well end up in heartache and she said she knows that so i don't know if there's anything else i can do. its funny how some people on this board think this is just a silly little crush...if it was i wouldn't have been worried about it at all and never would have asked for advice. i have heard his name said in my house at least once a day for 3 years by one person or another (i have 6 kids) so at this time it doesn't look like he's gonna just *poof* and disappear out of her life. i'm not going to forbid her from talking to him or i'll just have a kid sneaking around also and that wouldn't help the situation at all.

This is my first post so let me start out by saying hi haha. I'm not a Jehovah's Witness and neither is anyone in my family. My daughter is dating a born in though and there are obviously problems because of it. His mother just got whiff that he might have a "worldly" girlfriend and all of a sudden he's kept super busy and she's taking him to Bethel in 2 weeks.
My daughter is very scared that his mother is trying to get him to choose to be a pioneer. Could this be the case with the sudden decision to go to Bethel (from California)? They are actually from Hawaii (he lives in both Cali and Hawaii since his parents are divorced) and just got to Cali a couple of days ago. We live in Idaho and are moving very close to where he lives in California in a couple months.
It's a very long story about how they met almost three years ago but they are very close even though they haven't ever met in person yet. We were going to visit California and set up stuff for our move to coincide with his visit (his mother wants him to live with her until he's 18 in december because he's the last of her kids and he's lived with his dad since he was 12 when they divorced and she's finally feeling guilty) but when she heard there might be a girl involved in his desire to visit Cali, she all of a sudden changed her plans and decided to go with him to Cali and then take him to New York for 2 weeks of the month he was going to be there. My daughter is very upset and as I said, she's also quite worried there might be a major change in his thinking once his mother really puts the pressure on him to choose Jehovah and give up not only my daughter, but all his other dreams and plans as well.
I know this is confusing, but really I just want to know if this trip to Bethel might be an effort by his mother to keep him in line with how she wants him to be and if so, what can we expect might come out of his visit there? Ahhh! This is so hard to explain. I'm sorry for being so confusing =\
