  difficult dialog

  by LindaLu in

  2. relationships

  i have posted here once before my jw boyfriend and i (an evolutionist) love each other very much, but as you all can imagine we have many differences and difficult times.

  the latest major debate at the moment is that (and forgive me if this might offend anyone here) but by spending so much time in the ministry service (preaching religion) and referring to any world issue as man doesnt have the answer is a very selfish and self-centred way of living ones life.

  in the other hand i see many friends of mine renouncing their comfortable lifes in europe to do humanitarian voluntary field work in places like africa and for that according to this sick belief they are all ought to die in armageddon for not doing gods will now my argument above as you probably agree does not go down very well although i have tried many other subtle ways without much luck.

  Hi Dave, Thank you for your response – I guess lately I have been very stressed with this and my patience is running quite short… In one side I have been trying for nearly a year to get my jw bf to think a little bit for himself – in the other hand he is receiving a massive pressure from his family / helders /etc for me to convert… The problem is that it seems that I am running out of time / questions / excuses…

  I have posted here once before – my JW boyfriend and I (an evolutionist) love each other very much, but as you all can imagine we have many differences and difficult times. The latest major debate at the moment is that (and forgive me if this might offend anyone here) but by spending so much time in the ministry service (preaching religion) and referring to any world issue as ‘man doesn’t have the answer’ – is a very selfish and self-centred way of living one’s life. In the other hand I see many friends of mine renouncing their comfortable life’s in Europe to do humanitarian voluntary field work in places like Africa and for that according to this sick belief they are all ought to die in Armageddon for not doing ‘God’s’ will… Now – my argument above as you probably agree does not go down very well – although I have tried many other subtle ways without much luck. Now from those of you that have experienced perhaps a similar dilemma within yourselves, was there any specific thing that spurred this on you? Or any advice? Many thanks.

  i have been dating a very committed jw - he spent some time out of the organisation after a divorce and about a year ago has been granted a fellowship again.

  i absolutely adore him - and what is there not to love!

  he is the most kind, sweet and lovable man i have ever met.

  Hi, I have been dating a very committed JW - He spent some time out of the organisation after a divorce and about a year ago has been granted a fellowship again. I absolutely adore him - and what is there not to Love! He is the most kind, sweet and lovable man I have ever met. Despite being an Atheist myself due to scientific reason - I was brought up as a very religious Christian - to the point of doing one year of theological studies at University. So I do respect and understand (more or less) his point of view... But I am duelling within myself and I do not know what to do... I certainly do not wish to give him up, but I am not sure to what extent his association with me will bring him guilty feelings and pain...
