The other thing to consider is that unfortunately if you were to marry and she remained a loyal JW the marriage may never be a happy one. The organization has written a number of articles regarding pre marital sex and endeavours to make those doing this feel guilty for the rest of their lives. Not only that but they also endeavour to make one partner view the other partner negatively and without respect. You can't win if this is the mindset that she chooses.

JW presence
by Laika inthe underground station i live next to in london is usually relatively quiet, however it is also the local station closest to the wimbledon tennis courts, so for about 2 weeks a year it really comes to life, starting today.
(yay wimbledon!
i saw no jws last year, but they seemed to have cottoned on to this opportunity and were out in force today.

That's really strange Kramer, they must actively shove the literature into people's hands.

I love their video's too but I'm not crazy about this video either.
We don't know what promises these elder's gave this couple, if any. I think it is a bit much to go on a campaign when there is only this ladies word that they lied. For all we know she could have misunderstood what they were saying. I just don't have much sympathy for this couple, they already have a beautiful house, all they need to do is go out for a walk/ride to enjoy the views and close the curtains in their dining room.
As usual Mike and Kim certainly go to amazing lengths to expose the organization. This couple work together so well.

one reason for the dumbing down of the org
by Magnum ina lot of us have said that theres been a dumbing down in jw land.
its just not like it used to be especially a few decades ago.
it seems to me that if jw are right and the end of the world is near, the spiritual food should get tastier and more nourishing as time goes on, but it's getting more and more bland and less nourishing.

Very good points Magnum.
Even years ago there weren't many JWs that were interested in the 'deeper things', mainly because it was too difficult to understand. It is interesting that the only place that these 'deeper things' were usually taught was at the home book study meeting.
The main theme these days is to obey, obey, obey. It's such a simple message and the only thing that the organization really wants.

When you hear talks like this you become aware that these desperate Governing Body members know exactly what they are doing and it is far from being loving and christian.

Your set of elders are encouraging you to marry and her set of elders are telling her to seperate. It couldn't be more obvious that this organization has no idea how to be guided by Holy Spirit. The fact that your girlfriend still wants to follow these guys isn't because she is putting God first but for some other reason.

We don't know what the JWs told this couple. If they did lie then it is not too late to remedy the situation.
