Seriously in need of opinions here

by DilemmaGF in

an inactive jw guy, still close and in contact with jw family and some jw friends, wanting to marry a worldy christendom girl.

he made their relationship known to everybody (family and friends).

excited to get married to the girl and to start a life proper.. the jw thinking is still strong in him - doctrine, holidays, voting and stuffs; but indicated disagreement with some wts policies, teaching about wts being the only true religion, and did some research about wts, even read a part of coc.. what say you about this guy?

DilemmaGF

dgp - firstly I used the term JW because I don't what else to call/refer to them. I just don't think that the JWs are bad people but they are the victims of the cult. Of course, some are really "bad" because maybe the teaching and practices of the WTS suits them, and they like it (being jugdemental, self-righteous etc) because that's human nature.

I have done a lot of research about the religion, the history and even how their twisted translation in their Bible. BAD! BAD! BAD! I am also aware of their tactics eg love bombing, etc..

I have my stand - never to join, even to sit in the KH for a few hours will be a waste of my time I guess. You are right to certain extend about how I feel about him. And yes, I still harbour some hopes that he will come to his senses and be out of the cult

Dear all, thanks for your feedbacks. Really appreciate them. Yes, I am a girlfriend in dilemma. I have been thinking about talking to him up front about this but just don't know how to start.

I welcome more opinions and advices.

Chariklo - yes, I have posted earlier and it didn't attract much feedback probably due to the title. Such a sweet guy and I believe all the feelings that he has for me is real but yep... the problem is...

I would be much easier if he initiate the break up. Or should I keep on bugging him with the WTS-cult thingy until he (i) come to his senses and finally see the cult in the religion OR (ii) decides to go back to the religion because the worldly girl is really trying to influence me with the apostate thingy...

In love with a JW...

by CuriousUK in

apologies if this has been discussed before, or is in the wrong forum, but i could really do with some advice.

two years ago i met the love of my life; someone i regard as my soulmate.

he is an active jw and i am a practising church of england person.

DilemmaGF

Hmm... I feel for you CuriousUK. Same situation here but I guess mine inactive. He is raised as JW, the whole family is JW except maybe the brother is never baptized. He had made our relationship known to all his friends and family, but I am not sure what their reactions are since I have not met them yet. He had questions and disagreement with some of the WTS teachings but strongly holding on the doctrines (or that is the typical of ex/JW when come to doctrine discussion) and holidays. From my observations on how he plan our future, he had not have a hint about having a life like the JWs do (he wants good education for the kids, going places etc..etc..).

Really a good man but I am just not sure about everything.. still in dilemma, but I am not yet giving up in helping him with the Bible truth and stuffs but I know I need to be extra careful and also to be prepared for the end of our relationship.

I just don't believe that there is no hope at all for JWs to be free or even have a normal life outside the religion (providing of course his own effort to free his mind and seeking the truth). But.. ahhhhhh.. who knows..

But I beg you to PLEASE not to convert or even agree to do Bible study unless you are very well versed with the Bible yourself but I can assure you that they are very well taught in argument on these stuffs. I have been doing a lot of research and study myself and found so many twisting of facts by the WTS. Even their Bible are translated inaccurately to agree with their doctrine. May be this website will help you if you want to help your boyfriend.

More anti-apostate rhetoric from the Watchtower - are they running scared?

by cedars in

yes, the may 15th watchtower is now available for download from jw.org.. the final study article, on page 26, directs another salvo at apostates - and warns witnesses not to try arguing with them on the internet:.

indeed, we ought to move as far away from wrongdoing as possible and not see how close we can get to it without being overcome by sin.

for instance, we need to guard against succumbing to apostasy, a sin that would make us unfit to glorify god.

DilemmaGF

Indeed, we ought to move as far away from wrongdoing as possible and not see how close we can get to it without being overcome by sin. For instance, we need to guard against succumbing to apostasy, a sin that would make us unfit to glorify God. (Deut. 13:6-9) Let us therefore have nothing to do with apostates or anyone who claims to be a brother but who is dishonoring God. This should be the case even if he is a family member. (1 Cor. 5:11) We are not benefited by trying to refute the arguments of apostates or those who are critical of Jehovah’s organization. In fact, it is spiritually dangerous and improper to peruse their information, whether it appears in written form or it is found on the Internet.

Let us build a cave or find ourselves an island and live there happily ever until Amageddon comes... Amen!

I think I know the answer, but can I be in a "worldly wedding"?

by ex360shipper in

well for those of you who don't know i am on the long slow fade.

i do not go to meetings at all anymore, it has been 10 months since i last stepped foot in a kh, went to dc last year and will go to memorial for my mother.. good friend of mine, catholic, told me he is popping the question monday.

i know it will be in a catholic church.

DilemmaGF

There are some wedding photographer JWs that I know. I wonder how they do their works? Do they shoot only weddings conducted in the KH and civil weddings?

It amazes me how the supposed God's chosen people be so powerless and full of fear of almost EVERYTHING!
