I've been dating a JW for almost 3 1/2 years - About a month ago I found out that 3 elders from my boyfriend's Kingdom Hall we're going to have a meeting with my boyfriend about dating me. When I asked why this meeting was going to take place, my boyfriend said that it was because he was dating someone who isn't a Jehovah's Witness. This really hurt me, and it hurt even more when I found out that they had already talked to him once before, and he did not tell me about it.
I'm worried that this will effect out relationship. I have serious desires to marry him but I'm sure that marriage outside of the relgion is frowned upon. I was in a way, quite offeded that they only wanted to talk to him and not also with me. Don't I have a say in any of this? Also, who are they to say what is correct in the eyes of God. They stick so firmly to the belief that humans are "imperfect." I find it kind of odd that an "imperfect" person knows that it right in someone elses personal life.
I have many more feelings on the issue,.. But can anyone add some light to this??
thanks
