More comments from the AtheistNexus.org discussion onJW women seducing non-JW men

Dear Readers,




Here are some recent comments from the AtheistNexus.org blog post on JW women seducing non-JW men.  I would agree with these commenters that this relationship between Autumn and this young girl seemed like a failure from the start.  If this young girl remains religious, a Christian and a Jehovah's Witness who believes that he needs to become a JW in order for them to be together, can Autumn handle that pressure for the rest of his life?   What happens if they ended up having children together? This girl would be required to raise her children as Jehovah's Witnesses.  She would not be able to let her children explore other religious, spiritual-but-not-religious or non-religious paths and let them make up their own minds about what to believe because she would be forced to teach her children that Christianity is the "one and only true religion" and that the JW's are the "one and only true group of Christians on the planet".  She would be required to shun her own children if they were ever to be disfellowshipped/excommunicated for engaging in some activity that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society views as being "sinful" or if they voluntarily decided to disassociate themselves/officially withdraw their membership from the Organization/JW denomination. I think that Autumn should just remain platonic friends with this girl.

I'm just posting this to ask if anyone's ever had something similar or the same happen to them, or anything they've heard of happening to friends, I really, REALLY need to know if this happens, if it's just coincidence then I have to stay with her, if it's not, I have to seriously think about leaving...

No, because I wouldn't stand for it to begin with.
If you want to waste your life for months, years, decades, be it on your own head. The red flags are more than gently fluttering.

I seriously doubt that the young lady is ready to leave her religion and family for you, or if she is even capable of doing so. Her age and maturity is a factor here and so is yours. I can remember being 17 and so upset over losing a girlfriend that I could not think straight. By the time I had married at 21 I had forgotten her name.

Assume she'll remain religious and remain a JW, thus strongly believing that you need to become one too. Decide based on that. If it were me that would be a deal-breaker, no matter how wonderful the times we've had together.
