He is a Jehovah Witness and im not any religion?

Question

Its hard to explain me and him. I've posted other questions before on the same subject. Basically me and him are in love, i believe that he has a conflict between me and his religion. I would never make him leave his religion. My mother says that she would not mind if i converted because i never been baptized. But he does not want me to convert, I'm more then willing to. At this point in our lives i cant see myself without him. He makes me who i am, i will do whatever it takes to be by his side forever.

My question is should i keep supporting him and wait for him to make a decision?

Or what should i do, he makes it seem so easy!

Answer 1

Ask yourself these questions before marrying him. Do you want to celebrate your children's birthdays? If you become a JW you can't. Do you want to celebrate Christmas and Easter? If you become a JW you can't. Now for the big one. Imagine your child is at deaths door. They have been hurt and without a blood transfusion they will die. As a JW you will have to let them die. Do you really want to get involved with a religion that will make you watch your child die when a simple medical procedure could save their life? Think about it.

Answer 2

Are you certain he is a BAPTIZED witness ? Studying with the witnesses does not make one a witness, going to the Kingdom hall neither, nor having witness parents.

"He doesn't want me to convert"... I find it very hard to believe that if he is a witness, he wouldn't want another person, you, to become a witness.

If he is a baptized witness, he knows very well that by dating a non Christian witness, he is going against Jehovah's direction. He needs to turn to the elders for spiritual help as soon as possible.

Answer 3

It's NOT easy as it seems.  There must be a reason he doesn't want you to convert.  More than likely he is trying to find a way out himself.  Stand by him and be patient.  Leaving is the most diffiCULT thing to do.  If he leaves he will be disfellowshipped and his family and friends will no longer have anything to do with him....THAT's what's holding him back.  Show your support and research this organization so that you can see the magnitude of the hold that they have on him.  It WILL take a long time but if he leaves them be prepared to support him emotionally!

Answer 4

Run.

Answer 5

Do what you are doing now; loving life and loving him.  He sure needs you in his life.  Give him all the love you can and be passionately in love with him.  You know his religion can get him down and he needs a person that loves life and bring him happiness.  Stand beside him and make him happy.  Hello Jehovah's Witnesses.  I studied you know in the walk of my life.

Answer 6

There is a big change that he will leave you for his religion if you do not convert, especially if he is high rank JW

I would never marry a JEW, but it can be done, and it can work

Answer 7

short and to the point:

you can try to going to the kingdom hall and started learning more about Jehovahs Witnesses.

HOWEVER....

If you decided to convert and accept that as the truth because of him. Then that is wrong. If you find that you truly and honestly believe the Jehovah's Witnesses are the true religion after of course studying with some sisters the book, "Bible Teach" then you are gonna do good.

  

Answer 8

a Jehovah Witness! are you kidding me ? they are not good ! they go to door to door and force people to convert !

Answer 9

Converting to another religion for someone is never right.

You have to ask yourself would you do this if you didn't know him?

Maybe deep inside he knows this wouldn't work and that's why he hasn't given you an answer.

Another thing....why does he need your support? He's already living his life the way he wants.

You need to make a decision.....not him.

Answer 10

just let it be the way it is... why would you have to have the same religion as your partner? My husband was never baptized and I was but then converted to Buddhism... He is not a Buddhist and I am... You have to accept each other the way you are and not trying to mimic each other.

Answer 11

Don't listen to any of these ignorant people, just do what you feel is right.

Answer 12

Distance yourself from these mind control cults.

If you love him like you say you do then you would do whatever it takes to free him from his delusions and from the control of that cult.

Answer 13

If you were a male getting with a female JW it's doable. But a male will control you. RUN!

Answer 14

Means he will require you to join and "know the real name of G-d" before you 'take it to the next level' with marriage.  Beware the JWs.

Answer 15

Before you even consider converting, you should research their beliefs and religious practices.  Be sure that you are willing to live the rest of your life like that if he is a devout Witness.

Answer 16

Run.  Jehovas Witnesseyism is about the worst religion to be in of them all.  The horrible guilt trips, the unnecessary suffering, the mandate to reject all those who will not convert...you'll be made to shun your non-JW family within a few years if you can't get them to come along to the Jehova party with you.  Beware.

I hope you don't want to celebrate birthdays or holidays anymore, because JWs think it's a terrible sin to do so!

Think beyond what's in your pants and consider that there may be much, much better matches for you out there, whom you will feel even more strongly about than you do about him.
