You obviously like this girl. You have to establish how important being a JW is to her. If she wants to leave you might have a very nice future.

The really cool feeling of community within JWs
by Phaedra ini remember going out with other jws after the memorial.. small gatherings.. picnics at some local landmark.. the feeling of closeness, camaraderie, friendship with like minded people you could trust.. haven't experienced it since i left.. really miss that..

Yes I agree, I miss the socialising. I have had a few social events this year, but I was used to socialising every weekend and my kids having a big social life too. It's all gone now, in general people don't socialise as much as JWs do.
I suppose that was the love bombing, so it was just a recruiting strategy.

Little "oops" in today's WT Study article.
by stillin inparagraph 12 recommends that we meditate on the weekly reading for the theocratic ministry school.
ok, i'm splitting hairs here.
but there will be no more tms in a week.. somebody isn't keeping up with jehovah's celestial chariot..

Kate, I'm not sure where you got that information about a "sister" being DF'd- WO
I was just being devils advocate. Some elders can go to the extreme like they did in my case.
The point I was making that nothing in WT is fair and you can't count on the rules as some elders make up their own

Years ago son raised a few years as a JW. Now struggles with depression
by Check_Your_Premises inbackground:.
i spent some time here awhile back as an unbelieving mate of a jw wife.
i learned a lot, and was able to be supportive and understanding when she decided to leave the jw.. unfortunately, my son seems to have internalized many of the jw teachings.

I think it varies depending on the body of elders and the JW dating the non JW.
If it's a son of elder possibly nothing would happen. If it's a single sister with no family and the non JW has been studying for a while and an unbaptised publisher, the sister could be df'd for years and try and get Ri'd numerous time to no avail.
This is an unfair cult that has management who abuse their positions.
Take care

We went out Xmas day. We weren't being rude though. We were being friendly and doing what we thought was loving and caring.
The householders on the doors were pleasant to us and my kids when they were younger.
Now if they came to me I wouldn't condem them. I would be pleasant and tell my story. JWs in general are nice and care, they are just indoctrinated.

Rivalry among the sisters
by Esmeralda001 inwhen i was first introduced to the "truth", i was so distracted by the love and affection that the members were showing me that i was ready to convert into the religion without thinking twice.
i was conviced that jws were god's people (i still think some of them are).
i made it my goal to get baptized as i wanted to be part of the "only" religion that produce such good people.
