  i'm currently taking book study and still am not sure about completely pursuing the religion, but am openly analyzing what i am learning.

  i am currently dating a jw... my question is how is it looked upon when a jw dates a "study" ?

  is it allowed by the elders or will he be shunned?

  Hi Moon,

  I would say go with it for a while and see where it leads you. At 17, I hate to say it, not all relationships work out and you would be stuck in a religion where you would be only able to marry a fellow believer, casual dating tends to be frowned upon. But this may suit you, we don't know you.

  after the meeting last night italked to some of the elders in the car park, and asked what more i neede to do to get reinstated.

  they commended me on the things i've been doing (?

  ), and said the main point for reinstating would be how much contact i've been having with my fiance, who's still a wittness.

  I hope it works out for you both. I suppose it boils down to who you want to keep happy and how much trouble you could stand to cause. I tend to follow the line of least resistance, which isn't always the best thing to do.

  Almost identical story, but the one I knew also gave new wife all late wifes clothes and belongings, boy were the kids furious, and rightly so I believe. Caused a scandal in the whole area and those close to it didn't enjoy going on the ministry for a while afyer that as it alwasys seemed to come up, they were so well known.
