It's not an organization, it's just a Polish sign that says "humanitarian relief".

Sorry guys.
Translate "Humanitarian Relief" into polish.
not according to this verse:.
(mark 3:28, 29) truly i say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins they commit and what blasphemies they speak.
but whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever but is guilty of everlasting sin.”.
@BoogerMan:
That verse there in Mark... that only applies to the 144K. All the rest of us are free game. For us, we can be BBQ for the animals for just about anything.

i’d like to marry my best friend of 30+ years, turned ‘secret’ girlfriend of 1 ½ years who is a jehovah’s witness, born into it, baptized and an active ‘pioneer’.
our marriage would happen prior to letting any of her jw friends and cohorts know that we are together.
once married she may simply come forward and ‘admit’ or we may wait until it’s found out – one way or the other, the reason for this marriage is not customary – i am hoping that by doing so she can avoid being ‘marked’ or possibly ‘disfellowshipped’ once our relationship is no longer a secret and due to our already being married at that point, there can be no notion from society elders about her ending the relationship.
@doasthouwilt - It still doesn't make sense. The fact pattern implies she is not being honest with you and not being honest with herself.
Also, any attempt to find a way around this is futile. There is absolutely no possible way, none, zero, zip, goose-egg, nada, that you will quote a scripture, a policy, whatever - to prevent a judicial committee from being formed and DFing your significant other. You will never - NEVER - out-legal the WTB&TS, EVER! Given the fact pattern, it's done.
But also, given the fact pattern, she shouldn't even be trying to stay. Before you spoke of wisdom. I assumed she was an impulsive 20 year old, manipulating her way into your resources, going back to the WT when it made social or financial sense for her (no principles) because the current fact pattern is something you would expect a 20 year old to be exhibiting. That's why people think you are trolling. Not because it's "outrageous" or "upsetting". Rather, it's a tad unbelievable.
My only conclusion, if we grant you are 100% truthful, is that she is not being honest with you and not being honest with herself. And it may be the case that she intends to be honest with you, but she can't because she can't quite stop deceiving herself.

I don't see how trolling has anything to do with my posting...
Ok, fair enough. Let me just say this- it wouldn't be the first time someone came here with wild stories just get a rise out of people. So, at least for me, I'm going to be skeptical.

Yes, I did think I should add that, to paint a better picture.Ok.
You misunderstood what I meant by 'for reasons unrelated'. The reason she was DF'd was in no way related to the moving in with her BF - that move-in happened afterward, she was DF'd for a vice.Oh ok. So she's a smoker... or liked a little pot here and there?
Her last marriage lasted just shy of 30 years (far more than 4) and she's been interested in no one else since, which has been nearly a decade, until I came along and decided it was high-time that I did get together with one of the dearest and closest people to me - that's a reality we share and very much agree on.Ohhhhkkkk. So that changes the dynamic quite a bit. So she's been married (basically) 30 years. You said in your very first sentence she is your close friend for over 30 years ("30+"), but your girlfriend for about 1.5 years, and she has not been interested in anyone for about a decade after her previous marriage (last paragraph). Assuming she got married young, that puts her about 60 years old, and you've been her close friend from about age 30 (around 10 years into her previous marriage) when she wasn't a JW because she was DFed for "a vice". We're you also a close and dear friend with her previous husband?
No, she was specifically scared back into it. I have, through the years, talked to her about it, about why she persists in it. Fear is a giant factor.Fear of what? It doesn't seem to be anything the religion is teaching... and you say: "...in all the years I've known her - not in the least, she is incredibly social and surrounded." So it not social fear.
But she does care. So she's living a lie anyway, except with you. Either you are trolling us, or she is trolling you.

Holy forking red flags, Batman!
I should add ...Yeah, you think?
...that she had been disfellowshipped* once many years ago, for reasons unrelated to being unequally yoked, sex or the like. She moved in with her BF of the time shortly thereafter and went on to marry him - they had a child and were together for many years.Odd. Sure sounds like the same thing...
Sometime between the marriage and subsequent divorce...Just imagine the probability that some other guy, four years from now, wanders onto this site wondering how to marry this great JW girl - except this time you are the ex. Imagine that probability being north of 60% at this point ...
... she decided she was repentant and was refellowshipped (?). I believe she was scared back into it due to 9/11, or so a mutual friend told me.Orrrrrr, she had used all her previous human capital and wandered back for fellowship and socialization. Now she's got you, so she's ready to give it all another shot.
Simon is right - she needs to make a choice, and stop the bull shit. She also shouldn't be using you for that. It is a simple choice - it really is. And she should level with you. I know she hasn't because you are here posting what you are posting... or you are a troll.
