What Is Wrong With Marrying A Jehovah's Witness? by hectorblaz: 10:01am On Jul 21, 2011
I have been dating this chic for like a month now, and I must confess that she's the best I've ever had. We are so compatible. And she's a walking example of my imaginations.

She told about it like 2 weeks ago but it sounded shallow. But last night when I asked her what was the greatest obstacle we had to overcome in order to get married, she said - RELIGION!

She said she was a Witness and that Witnesses don't marry outside. And that we shouldn't even think it cos it wont work. I have a lot to say but I cant even type it. I couldn't sleep last night. And am getting depressed right now.

I dont know what to do now cos I really, really, really love this chic. I really do need your advice. Can you guys help me?

If not that I have a higher calling and a vision I live for, I would have followed her to her church. But I just cant.

Can I get to convince or persuade her to join my RCCG church? Is it possible? Has it ever happened before?

Her whole family are Witnesses.

We are really in love with each other, though I think mine is deeper. But no one wants to let go of his or her beliefs to join the other person. If I switch, its as good as switching my destiny as well cos I need this pentecostal platform to fulfill my calling, and actualise my dream and visions.

Does anyone out there have any meaningful and workable advice for this dude, cos I would really, really love to get married to her.

thats where the problem lies! they dont marry outside thier church and definately wont support her to marry outside. but if she trully loves you, its achievable but it would require you to be patient. goodluck smiley

hmmmmmmm, that’s what my friend is going through, if am in your shoes i wont and cant be a witness, why not persuade her to come to yours, if she truly loves and want to spend the rest of her life with you.

And if she till insist then you people are not compactable, you can’t kill your dream course of religious or love.

@poster u need to seriously fast and pray regarding converting her to RCCG, simply trying to convert without intense prayer rightly spells DISASTER,

@poster,

Witnesses marry within, you would be makin d biggest mistake of ur life if u convert to a witness, dont even think of it! And am sure d lady would not leav her religion either. . .

A failed or broken relationship is better than a broken or failed marriage.

To add to what i said earlier-

don't think of converting her to your religion or belief coz if u do, she would simply go back to being a witness after u both are married, and that spells DOOM!

her people would not let her be, especially her brethren, they av ds tie among themselves (the witnesses) which is very hard to break. They wud presure dem, b4 u knw it, the woman would go back, and even her hubby would follow suit.

simply ignore your feelings for her and move on, if she comes back to you then maybe she is ready to violently take it by force grin

@OP a cousin of mine married a witness
that worked coz she loved him enough not to let religious affiliation come between them
[or maybe she didnt care so much about it]

The whole family are witnesses too.

So yes its happened, but[b] the convincing needs to be done by her[/b], to herself and her family.
all depends on how much she loves you and if she can compromise.

If she can't/or is unwilling to do that.

what are you still waiting for?

there should be like 1.5billion unmarried ladies in the world.

Just one month and you are professing this magnitude of love. Bros relax, its too early for such. Take your time to know her better. When the time is right, your religious differences would be a problem. Get what I mean? smiley

I jst wanna add the lil' i knw. . . . @Poster, i tink if u guyz really luv urself as u've professed, then religious affiliation should be not constitute an obstacle. U're Pentecostal, she is a JW, Watz the big deal? Are u all not CHRISTAINS? I've seen where a MUSLIM marries a CHRISTAIN n they're happily married till 2day. Hw much more two CHRISTAINS wif jst denominational differences? I'll advice dat u jst do ur tin n let her do hers, notin spoil, go ahead n wif d relationship. Afta religions are jst different road leadin 2 the Almighty! Infact, there are people who ain't members of any religion, bt are stil godly n 9ice!!!

I agree that some people that dont follow any religion may be very nice but dont go as far as calling them "Godly", undecided
Also what happens in the upbringing of their children together, or do u think there will no rifts, ?
