Married To A Jehovah's Witness? by Oracle20: 4:39pm On Oct 26, 2020 |
Is there any one male or female who's married to a Jehovah's witness when you are not a witness? Can you share your experience. I'm about to get married to a Jehovah's witness. We love each other but I nurse the fear of the possibility of religious issues in the future. Useful advice based on experience only. Thanks. 1 Like |

It will be good you adopt your husband belief to avoid unnecessary family problems relating to differences in religious doctrine. I can't say you must not marry him because you are already entangled with him. So, weigh the option of adopting his belief or faith as you are going into marriage with him. 2 Likes |

The only way you can get married to her is when she is excommunicated. In as much as she is still in the faith, her family will never allow her to marry a non witness. 8 Likes |

Oracle20: JWs are like Muslims, they see non-JWs as inferior....becos they belive they are the one worshiping the true God and the rest are not ... so, the fact that a JW wants to marry you from another denomination is a sign that she’s partly liberal...and might be flexible with her faith.. or even willing to be excommunicated.. . follow the Bible in your marriage..already JWs have their own interpretation of scripture... but I think they have almost the same standard with all Christians when it comes to marriage...just that they don’t do naming ceremony... Hey....look on the bright side....if you like alcohol, your JW husband or wife won’t judge you... ...las las, you go dey alright jarè.. 2 Likes |

Husband don finish for your area.? Marry someone with similar thinking like you |
Re: Married To A Jehovah's Witness? by Ohizman73(m): 5:56pm On Oct 26, 2020 |
This your question is tactical ,your partner you want to marry is not a real JW ,just claiming.Why JW dont marry non JW ,they are very particular and over strict on that.Infact they dont even date non JW in the first place. so am begginning to wonder how you got entangled in the first place. Your marriage can never work out as they have their doctrines to the latter. it is better you look for a partner with the same religious ideology. your case is the same as a xtian girl marrying a muslim man 1 Like |

You guys will definitely experience difficulty in your Marriage. The difference in doctrines would bring about problems whether you like it or not maybe not now but definitely in the future. It always does. It is not even advised to convert a person because of Marriage, let alone marrying a non witness. Gaskiya the thing go hard, but she has made her choice and she will live with it. Marriage is a personal decision, no one would get punished for marrying a non witness although you may lose some privileges in the Congregation but that one no mean say Brothers go dey look you like sinner, it's your load to carry and Marriage on its own na Load but the load becomes lighter when you share it with a partner who has the same beliefs as you do, someone who shares the same purpose as you. May Jehovah give us the strength to wait on him and do his will✌� 1 Like 1 Share |

Please research and ask questions around to know their beliefs and doctrines to avoid future problems that you can avoid. Love is not enough when it comes to marriage. 5 Likes |

Whatever religious issues you're foreseeing or differences you may have in the future should be discussed with him/her now. |

Simply convert to JW It's a peaceful and God centered lifestyle But don't marry wen two of us are not in sync concerning this matter. U shldnt confuse ur children |

Thank you all for your opinions. The thing is that. She's liberal in thinking as i'm. I have examined the teachings and views from both sides. I came to the conclusion that all are same when it comes to the core things in Christianity. But unfortunately a lot of people would rather place emphasis on the things that are not important, things that were never taught by Jesus Christ. 1 Like |

Marriage is a different ball game from dating, what doesn't matter now might be a great deal in marriage tomorrow. Are you ready to allow her keep up with her faith after marriage? You know the feeling of love is overwhelming that it can make you take decisions that you might not be comfortable with in the future. My advice, marry someone that shares same religious beliefs as you. 2 Likes |

Non witness cannot marry a witness except the witness decided to leave the congregation |

From experience I'll give you three examples of what not to expect from her if really she's one: She'll never utter the words 'merry christmas' to you on christmas neither will she partake in the celebrations; She'll never utter 'happy birthday' to you on your birthdays; She will not join you to enter any other church for any celebrations for any of your family members. For those comparing JW to Muslims, truth is that Muslims are more tolerant. Yes, jws appear more friendly, but it ends there. 4 Likes |

Ohizman73: @bolded, very true. I have an aunt who got married late simply because she wanted to marry a JW. She eventually married a JW tho. Op's fiancee might be the liberal type. |

I understand you. But I'm not so strong on those things because I believe non of them is core to Christianity. The issue of accompanying me to any Church function, we are discussing that now.

Oracle20: The closest I got to Jehovah Witness was dating a strong member back then in Uniben. The girl goes for preaching and I will intercept her along the way and drag her to my house to fuckkk. The girl na from Akwa Ibom. Gets wet so easily by a mere sight of me. I think she liked me then but I only liked her kitty Kat. We broke up when I left Benin for my youth service. You were a good girl ZION! |

coolsegun2002: Jw r never like Muslims nor we look other denomination disdainfully, we give an adequate respect to everyone n their religion...... The reason we don't marry outside Jw circle is stated in 1 Corinthians 7:39 A wife is bound as long as her husband is alive. But if her husband should fall asleep in death, she is free to be married to whomever she wants, only in the Lord. The latter part Only in the Lord indicate only those we share same believes..... You can also read 1King 3:1 n see what happens to Solomon when he chose wives from himself out of the circle of Jehovah's People.... If a lady or Man marries out of the stipulated Bible standards, he/she might face the aftermath 2 Likes |
