I’m definitely not “trolling.” Not exactly sure what kind of benefit would be brought to me by hunting down a forum for a religion I don’t even believe in to inquire about the effects it may have on my child and I, and what my fiancé/father of my child is expected to believe of my child and I. Such useful information unless you’re in the situation....

Anyways, I did receive some interesting answers here and I’d like to thank those who genuinely took the time to reply. A little more information I’ve gotten since, my fiancé is not baptized. His mother and father are however. My baby will grow up as I did, with birthday parties, Christmas, Easter, and any other holiday I feel like celebrating. In addition to that, they’ll never live their life in fear of a “worlds end” brought upon by god or being disfellowshipped and treated like the dirt on the bottom of what was supposed to be their close family and friends shoes.

I simply came here for perspective of those who are more knowledgeable about Jehovah’s Witness than I am, because obviously my fiancé is never going to tell me the negatives because he doesn’t see them in the same light I do.

My fiancé stopped going to church prior to us meeting. For a while now he has talked about going back which I support him in. I wouldn’t want to keep him from something he genuinely believes in, but also want the same respect in not being expected to join it when I don’t/don’t feel it is the correct fit for my child and I.

That being said, here are my questions:

•If he were to go back to a Kingdom Hall would he have to go through some sort of repentance for my child and I?

•Baby and I are considered worldly, is that a nice way of saying walking sins?

•Would my fiancé be frowned upon for having a child and fiancé that are worldly with no intent of practicing JW?

I don’t mean to sound ignorant to the matter, I am just genuinely curious and as you can imagine it’s a bit of a touchy subject for my fiancé. Thank you in advance.
