  Daughter counselled on dating a wordly guy

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my daughter recieved this email from one of her witness "friends".

  she is counseling my daughter (indirectly) about her choice to date a "worldly" guy.. hey, so, we had a talk recently that was about love & respect in your marriage.

  the brother brought out that this was more for us witnesses rather than worldly people, because it seems that even in the truth now marriage has lost it's correct place.

  well, do you think the boy she is dating is good for her? if so, let her witness "friend" do whatever she feels she has to. if you don't like him, let your daughter know that and the reasons why. i understand, as i'm sure you do, why the friend is putting pressure on your daughter. bad association and all that. but, it has been my experience that there are bad people in the truth too. i married a non witness. and during the jw years - sure - we had disagreements, but, he was and still is a good man. so, have your daughter choose the best person for her. if she wants to be a true blue witness, and wants to be accepted by her peers. she should probably look for a jw.
