Hi again... well just for the record he is not reproved b/c of me ... he was reproved before we started to be together... and altho i am in his life right now i know he is very strong into his religion... in fact he wanted to go to Bethel upon graduation but his reproval put that on hold... and he is not forcing me into anything it's all been by my own choosing.. I'm afraid he'll give this up for me and then things might not work out in the future... no one can really know for certain you know? and he is scared of the same thing...he is also scared that i get into the religion and then regret it... fact of the matter i don't want him to let go of this life he knows and especially not for me b/c i feel that by doing that it will only stain any possible relationship we might develop.. both personally and by outside pressures (his whole family is in the faith). So it's a lot to wager.. and I've looked into the religion a lot (hence i found this website) and altho somethings i don't agree with (blood trans. , holidays) i do feel that other things make sense... my only fear of entering this is first off to be shunned by my own family like them thinking of me differently (this isn't exactly my mother's favorite religion) and second if i ever were disfellowshipped i would lose those close to me.. and never speak with them ever again. i dunno it's a lot to wager like i said .. on both sides of the fence. Thanks to everyone who has given input on my situation. Uhm ... i just felt i should add this... if there are any other factors i have not talked about and might help on input just ask and i'll answer for as much as i know. Thanks again everyone i really appreciate it!

JW relationship with a Study?
by MoonChikDayi ini'm currently taking book study and still am not sure about completely pursuing the religion, but am openly analyzing what i am learning.
i am currently dating a jw... my question is how is it looked upon when a jw dates a "study" ?
is it allowed by the elders or will he be shunned?

No he's not trying to convert me at all... in fact he told me not to do anything for him b/c he doesn't want me to think bad about him if things don't work out and i accept the faith... he left it to my choosing whether i wanted this or not... he didn't mention it, i did. My best friend is JW and she's the one giving me study...

Hi,
I'm currently taking book study and still am not sure about completely pursuing the religion, but am openly analyzing what I am learning. I am currently dating a JW... My question is how is it looked upon when a JW dates a "study" ? Is it allowed by the elders or will he be shunned? I just recently began study and it was mainly by my own choosing but he also plays a small factor. Uhm... I've read previous posts on JW's dating Non-JW's and I can pretty much see the outcome and I know what will eventually happen to the JW if he/she pursues the relationship (i've been told by JW's).... but i didn't find a post on Jw's dating a study.... Uhm please respond as soon as possible and thanks in advance for all responses!
