  So Many Questions,

  Here's some advice from someone married into the WTBS.

  If you really want to persue a relationship with this woman:

  1-Start a bible study with a JW brother, never research or think about what your being told, just accept everything. Become sheeplike and "teachable."

  2-Give up on all you have ever been taught in church about a loving God and learn to become fearful of God.

  3-Don't worry about a relationship with your own family, you will soon hurt them by not attending their holiday get-togethers. Be prepared to give up Christmas, Birthdays, Thanksgiving etc.

  4-Forget having any feelings about current events or political discussions. Of course holding any political office(even county or city counsil) or even voting will not be tolerated.

  5-If you have doubts and can't commit to all the WTBTS teachings you should forget about this lady. If she is babtised and dates you she could be disfellowshipped.

  6-If you decide to have a bible study you should also be prepared to never even look at this web site again. There are apostates here and we are dangerous.

  Good points, BlindFool... there are degrees of all points you mentioned, but basically... yup... that's the way it is! Somany: you should question her about how much of what she was taught she really believes. You might have some luck and find out she's in it only because her family is... or whatever, but that she'd be more than happy to go along with what you'd like to do, esp. around celebrations, etc. Talk to her!

  SMQ--
  From someoe whos studied the Bible extensively and is a christian,
  JWs are not anything like christianity. They even admit that. At least that they are nothing like 'mainstream' christianity. I'm not being picky over denominations because thats not the type of person I am-- I'm ok with christians disagreeing on small issues but JW beliefs are totally different. I was a JW and left because their beliefs are not in the Bible. They are very different from Mormons in their beliefs but just as far off from what the Bible actually says. JWs have their own corupt 'translation'--and I use that word loosely-- of the Bible that convieniently alters most important passages to their gain. For a list of shocking doctrines just ask and I'm sure we can all show you the stark contrast from JW to Christians. Not all on here are christians but we can help you tell the difference between what the two believe in
  For ifon please email me
