grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.
i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.
my mother converted as a jw soon after when two sisters came to her door and offered her comfort, which was something she needed.
we are madly in love with each other and she is in the process of being divorced.
let me make one thing clear i'm not the reason for the divorce.
she attempted to reconcile with him but to no avail.

In fairness to my wife, she is a wonderful woman, I love her very much and she makes my life with the cult quite bearable because she has never been a hard core JW. It seems that your girlfriend is not a hardcore JW. So there's hope for you.
Regarding getting someone "spiritually in" to give a comment, I doubt you will get anyone here. But I can surmise that they will describe a rosy scenario for you... as long as you are in too. And I think that it is possible to be very happy as long as both are mentally and physically in. The problem is that the internet is rapidly drawing people away from cults, so the chances of faithful JW happy couples are shrinking.

I married a JW 20 years ago. She was unjustly (according to circuit overseer) reproved. So soon after, her privileges were reinstated. Life for newly married may not be as easy now that their Bible has been changed, as another poster mentioned. Back to my life.
Good things:
Whatever you do, be wise; it's a must at your age. Do as much research as you can. The Jehovah's Witnesses are members of a cult and behave as such. Don't be fooled by appearances. If she remains in, you are screwed. If she gets out, she is screwed, and you too, by association.
Go for it, if you both love each other very much, but you are definitely marrying into a cult that believes that very soon you will be destroyed for belonging to the false religion.
in page 10 of the correspondence guidelines, in the section of apostasy" i found the following:.
one who has sincere doubts orquestions should be kindly aided inthe spirit of galatians.... i am forced to conclude that many of you didn't get any aid because your doubts were fake.
so according to the wt manual, your main sin may have not been doubting, but faking having doubts.

I am forced to conclude that many of you didn't get any aid because your doubts were fake. So according to the WT manual, your main sin may have not been doubting, but faking having doubts. So, I guess it's impossible to be an apostate. If you have sincere doubts you get help, but most of you didn't get help. Consequently, your doubts were not sincere, and we can conclude that you are still a believer, not an apostate.
Help me, English is not my first language. Am I missing something?
wifi is great.
it's so easy and convenient.
but it can be slow.. years ago when it first came out you maybe had a pc and a couple of other devices at most.
who won, and why?.
the rebel..
i always had a problem with the belief that god is allowing all the suffering in this world to go on just to vindicate his name and prove the devil wrong.
i watched this movie on netflix and i can really see why the atheist movement is growing.
it really does a good job of portraying the suffering in some parts of the world.

the editor, sir:.
had to share.
kudos to the photoshop artist!
well done and very, ehem, insightful : - ))).
Very funny indeed.
Younger governing body member, Mark Sanderson, is missing. Holly shit!, I can even tell who is missing. I have been spending too much time concerned with Watchtower issues, and I haven't even been a JW. It's time to move on.
Hell no! I will stay until the best part of the movie is over. I think that part is about to unfold.
