It made you think in what way? like they have "the Truth"?
When you are dead you are dead, aint nothing survives it and no one is coming back except maybe by cloning, but then that wouldnt be the same thing at all.

i have been with an in active jw for 6 years, she now wants to marry and have a child, will she want to bring a child up as a witness, she says not but any experiences?
will she start go back once we are married?
(i'm a non jw)
It can take time, people only wake up when they are ready to and for some that can take a long time.
If you want to try and save her then you need to take the time to educate yourself about the cult and how cults work before you can begin to help her to see it for what it is.
There are plenty of experiences on here of couples and what worked and what didnt, one thing that doesn't work is shoving it down the throat of your mate and bombarding them with information. So slow and steady is the way and learn when to shut up and when to speak about it.
She will not see this in a weekend, if it's half hearted or against their will then they may still believe in it and return at a later time, they need to see it for themselves and they only do that when they are ready. You need to be ready first though.
Take your time and dont do anything rash is always the advice given.
today... i'm going to talk to you..... about "sisters!!".
now our dear sisters... have a place ... in god's organisation.
they are not permitted to teach!.
first post on here.
i've been lurking for 3-4 years and i mean i've been a mega lurker, doing marathon reading sessions for months or weeks.. sometimes i proceed by researching specific topics, or posters; other times just reading current discussions.
i'm particularly fond of "old" post, i.e 10-12-15 years ago.. i have laughed, smiled, got mad, cried etc, just reading some threads here.. as you can see i suffer from some kind of "accute lurkitis".
Welcome you naughty lurker...

You have the answer, run!
No, seriously we cant tell you what to do or have all the facts, but you really have yourself in a corner, chances are she still believes it is the Truth (internal speak, they call it The Truth) and WILL return to it with gusto when she has a child to think about.
The cult is all about FOG (fear obligation guilt) the classic toolbox of all cults. She will have her buttons pushed accordingly. Unless she can educate herself about cult mind control and see it for herself then her life will always be controlled to some extent by it.

Why does she want you to marry her?
Why did she move out after living with you?
It may be because of family pressure and the shunning is working. If you get married then her family may re-engage with her and that could be a strong motivation.
You need a series of heart to heart conversations and she needs to be willing to honestly investigate her religion (cult) of birth (i'm guessing she was a born in).
If she is not or will not be willing to do that then walk away.
Edit to add: if she read this whole thread, what would be the result? It's possible the indoctrination is still so strong that she wont even read anything on an "apostate" site like this one.
so, jw's are being investigated for grilling innocent child abuse victims in their own courts, they punish the innocent and protect the guilty, they hide child abusers in their own ranks and protect pedophile elders.
next stop london bethel for this new brother then - ideally qualified.
the yorkshire ripper has enjoyed a specially-arranged baptism service in broadmoor after becoming a jehovah's witness.. peter sutcliffe, 68, who was jailed for murdering 13 women, was recently baptised in a pool in a private room at the high security hospital.
the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.
this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).
2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).
Thursday night is porno night! fap fap fap....
But seriously, there is no need to make excuses or give reasons.
check this one out and share with your jw friends if you can get away with it.
