So, it's a Saturday night, I'm home alone and my love/social life sucks. So, I was IMing a few minutes ago with a friend of mine who doesn't live here in Denver, bitching about my love life... So, he since he realizes I tend to date conservative women, he asks me why I haven't hooked up with a JW woman and then get her away from the Borg. Now, there's a risky proposition and it's obvious my friend has never been in Borg. But got me wondering, have any of you folks on this board done what he suggested?

If a JW would date an ex-Jw, I think he/she is not a staunch JW and there is potential for an exit. If the JW doesn't have much family in, then the odds would be greater - there is less to lose.

This is a case in which the end does not justify the means. It would be dishonest and potentially very damaging to the woman. -

I agree. It's the reverse of joining a religion just b/c your sweetie expects you to. I think my freind was looking at it from this viewpoint of someone who has never been religious (from a Western perspective) that I would be doing a good thing of getting someone out of the cult. I tried to tell him that she would be so shunned if her family were JWs...and that is such a tough spot to be in, as just about everyone here on this board can attest to, especially if the romantic relationship sours.

No he certainly doesn't understand
That would be asking for a life of misery

If I was single and as an EXJW I wouldn't even date and EXJW because both of our families would be Fcuked up, where would you go for Thanksgiving??
