Advice if you are friends with or dating a Jehovah’s Witness

[@cocogomez2278]

Thank you for this video. I'm dating a JW whose goals is to convert me and marry me so it's best I cut off our relationship now, however unfortunate.

[@eve3363]

Yes. If you are not serious about God, it is best to cut off ties with this person. Jehovah's Witness take our relationship with God seriously. We don't sacrifice our relationship with Him for anyone or anything.

I met a really beautiful woman through my work. She looked lovely and was really lovely. She was selfless,humble and very compassionate. She was infact,married,I was friends with her husband who,was not a great man. He was selfish and very cruel in his words to her. One day,I found her crying,he was out and it was just her and me. Bearing in mind that she had always been very friendly with me and as far as I was concerned we were close friends ONLY,he attitude at that time of being alone with me was totally different. She was quite hostile and insisted that I left immediately never to return except with her husband . I felt dirty,low and very misunderstood. I thought she would accuse me of making a move on her but strangely, she did explain from a distance and when her daughter turned up. She revealed that she was a Jehovah witness and that they were NEVER allowed to be with anyone else but they’re own kind. She would never budged. I saw her in a completely light from then on . These people are destructive,they are controlling,they are evil in deeds and and actions. God help us all if they are the chosen ones because they are the epitome of cruelty and selfishness.

[@eve3363]

Fake story! No Jehovah's Witness says "be with our own kind ". We're not Jews! She probably didn't want you around her because you're a male and she's a married woman. It probably made her feel uncomfortable and that's if your story is even true.

[@bjolly8924]

I dated Jehovah's witness for two and a half years. What you're saying is absolutely true. They are blind to their own selfish and self-serving nature. Have no empathy for the pain that their behavior causes their partner, she never acknowledged my feelings. Anxiety, frustration, sadness, and disappointment is all that relationship gave me.

I’m currently in a relationship with a JW. I’ve told him since the beginning that I was not willing to convert because of religious trauma I’ve had in the past and he’s been so respectful of that and has not tried to convert me. But it gets hard when he expresses that he’s scared of what the outcome will be because he wants to remain a witness but also wants to be with me long term. His brother was disfellowshiped and on one of our dates he had his brother join us because he hasn’t seen him in so long and it broke my heart to see his family and friends be ashamed of him wanted to see his brother. I’ve told him that if he doesn’t want to continue with this relationship I will understand but to know that if he decides to pursue our relationship I will never leave his side and him and his brother will always be welcomed in my family. But it’s hard because we only see eachother once a month and he almost got caught seen with me. I don’t know how to go about this because I truly want to be with him. God wants us all to be happy so why should a religion permit us from being with someone who makes us happy even if they have different beliefs?

This is exactly what I told her. I can be a good person without being a witness. She said she made a vow to Jehovah to marry within the organization. I don't know what to do at the moment.

@@daphcajean2171 not all JWs have good morals i dated a witness that got disfellowshiped for infidelity in her marriage. She then dated multiple guys slept with them, whilst she was disfellowshipped. Then when we met she was still out of the organisation but her disfellowshipment was coming to an end. She gave me a speech on waiting till marriage lol, she expected me too wait for sex until marriage. Whilst guys she dated before me didn't have too. If she was a virgin or didn't have the past she did I would have considered waiting. She wanted to keep me a secret and would tease me sexually everytime we met up. Funnily enough it was a blessing I didn't sleep with her because in the end she admitted to me she had chlamydia. The entire time I knew her she tried to manipulate me into thinking she was this innocent girl with morals when in reality she was just a liar.

I'm falling in love with a JW. I know she has feelings for me also but out of respect I'm not pushing anything, I've never been in this situation before and it hurts.

[@basketballtv248]

Hello there! I’m also in love with a JW. My goal is to marry her but she does want me to convert, I plan to do so because for me I was raised Christian and there’s certain things that I don’t agree with in Christian teachings and a lot that I do agree with, I see the two faiths close enough to where it doesn’t really matter to me about converting, I want her and I truly do love God even before her, what I can tell you is if you love this person meet them in the middle, if you feel like converting do it mainly for yourself not mainly for them. Also let her/him know if things that you want, work as a team. I personally don’t believe that because someone else is in a different religion that you shouldn’t date at all, just means there’s work that needs to be done and a conversation needs to be had on how to meet in the middle. Good luck to you 🙏🏼

[@jwhistorymadeeasy3998]

It’s not easy to be put in that kind of situation. I think you should watch this video carefully and really think about if you want to get involved with this person and think about the potential consequences of doing so. I feel like I laid them out, pretty clearly in the video, so I don’t need to rehash it here. All I can say is that I wish you the best with whatever you choose.

My sisters are in the organization they are dying for me to convert but I just can’t my nephew left the organization and thank god still speak to this mother in secret.

[@felicitydeikos5250]

This is fact: a wedding or funeral costs, with normal church, priests, cars, etc. comes around at $20K or more. With JWs it's either done for free, because people do care and love one another, understanding financial crisis, while in other religions, the priest will charge, Gods knows how much, just to satisfy themselves with 💰 money and other issues involved. Jws hate war, violence, fights, etc. If the Jws are a cult, then what can two orthodox countries such as Russia and Ukraine be? I was an Orthodox, and I'm glad I LEFT! You don't know what goes on , unless you are an orthodox! All they care is about how much is in your bank account and whether you can " afford " to be in their families ( if you were to marry) Mind you, the orthodox priest needs $3000 a week to keep preaching fake news about Jesus and God ( whom they don't even mention His real name: JEHOVAH. Also, it was the Orthodox that erased Jehovahs name from the Bible ( NT) and replaced it with " God." How would it feel for you if you had your name erased and replaced with a Title instead.? Would it not hurt you?

Great video, thanks! I found the dramatization of the lady who was becoming "too close" with her co-workers really telling. So she was hanging out with some non-JW people and was absorbing some ideas that did not fit with the JW worldview - the horror! And she immediately had to back-pedal and re-immerse herself in nothing but JW doctrine. Anyone who watches these dramatizations and who is not yet fully indoctrinated can see right through that, can't they? The message is: *Do not spend any time with anyone who is not a fully indoctrinated JW. * The Society is not even subtle about it. Even a little office chitchat in the breakroom is too much. It just has "cult" written all over it. And all these "model" JWs in the dramatizations look like Stepford wives.

[@quandale3311]

That is not the message at all. Association with those who are not JWs is necessary and inevitable. The point is that association outside of the congregation has it’s place and it shouldn’t be so much that you start to become influenced by worldly standards.

[@katew.9402]

@@quandale3311 Well, but if a person finds themselves influenced by other standards, such as those of their work friends, couldn't they simply use that opportunity to ask themselves whether they find their friends' standards more appropriate, and question the standards proposed by the Watchtower Society? Does an adult in full command of their mental abilities not have the right to consider a range of standards, and choose the ones that seem best to them? Why should they have to reflexively pull back and cling to their religion's standards?

[@quandale3311]

@@katew.9402 It doesn’t work like that, the religion does not at all choose our standards. We choose our own standards, according to Bible principles, and do our best to follow them to the fullest extent possible. The religion cannot bind you involuntarily to their own standards, it’s something that you have to choose for yourself.

[@katew.9402]

@@quandale3311 But the sister in the dramatization was not using her own standards. She was using Watchtower standards. She did not make her own choices. She was forced to follow the standards created by eight men in NY who by their own admission are not infallible, and who therefore merely propose their own, fallible understanding of what the bible says, yet expect unquestioning obedience from their followers.

[@quandale3311]

@@katew.9402 Ok in what way was she “forced” to follow her own standards?

It never ceases to amaze me that the rules and regulations that Jehovah's witnesses attempt to adher to are held up as to be for them only. Whereas any one professing to be a Christian follower of Jesus should be following these very same instructions. For instance, choosing a partner, that is also a Christian applies to everyone, this is found at 1 Cor. 7v39, Where the Apostle Paul (Under inspiration), speaks of a widowed woman free to re-marry, but only in the Lord. Which is very sensible advice if one cares to think about the consequences of marrying a non-believing person. Which, sadly, many have done.

[@ericbulman1752]

It does not say a Jehovah's witness has to marry another jw and the Bible shows that you can marry non believers

[@oldpossum57]

I love how a great many Christian’s do not realize that the “false christians” following”false teachings” and maybe doing and saying hateful things are just as Christian as they are. The scriptures have proven themselves to be compatible with every belief system from Francis of Assisi ( a good guy, despite being Catholic) to Adolph Hitler (also a Catholic, but not a good guy). You can’t think of some horrible thing but that christians can fins scripture to back it up, and the theology to seal the deal. Obviously people just pick scriptures to support moral positions they independently believe. Not many of you dine with lepers, the poor, prostituées and tax colle tors at Thanksgiving.
