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, ?
Well, dunno ur definition of 'GODLY', bt wat i meant by dat word was, a person who believes in d existence of a Supreme being, n who patterns his/her lyf in a way dat he believes, pleases dat Supreme Being. There many non church goers who wudn't do half of d evils dat sum ardent church goers do! ~~ As 4 d children raising stuff, yeah, i agree, there might be conflict of interest, as per, which of d two churches they should attend. However, one thing of note is diz, d church u attend doesn't matter, wat matters is ur attitude, character, conduct n d person u are deep inside u. So, which ever church the children attends wont matter, as far as, both parents carry out there parental obligation of child-training dutifully!

Guy!
Na where u dey rush go self? Abeg take a chill pill and cool down. Instead of you to enjoy your new relationship you dey here dey work yourself up. You need to know someone to be able to propose marriage, and 2months is not enough to know a person. So my advice to you is stop this marriage talk, enjoy and build your relationship. Who knows in a year or two the girl might even leave the J-witness on her own without your help so chill abeg!

Show her a good example of the Christian life, get her to listen to some Ministry Tapes and Materials of Daddy G.O Adeboye E. When you guys are together in the room, words are very powerful and make her to understand that the cave she fear to enter, contain the greatest treasure in life. Build your relationship first, become everything to her, let her carry you everywhere, if she loves you, religion na BEANS for that side, women can do anything for the sake of Love, best of luck and remember that God is on your side and nothing can defeat you and him.

Shalom brother.

Have you wondered why Jehovah's Witnesses don't marry outside their dominion ? The bible bool of 1 Cor. 7:31 clearly shows that we should marry in the lord. Why some people will say other churches are christian also, yes they are. But few of them condemned festivities and practise that the bible condemned. Take Xmas for an example, there is no way in the bible that says we should celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, even the Bible doesn't made mention of the month he was given birth to. So, how will it be if you celebrate Xmas and your wife doesn't? and you expecting her to cook Xmas meal for you and also entertain your family that day which is against are bible train conscience and she wont do. This can bring lots of arguments which can be avoided if you have marry from your church.
Many people here painting we Witness in bad color hasn't really meet one, they are just saying hearsay. meet us and you know we are cool people. Although we are good eggs but sometimes you can also see few who are bad eggs and cuz someone is attending our meetings doesn't necessary make the person a witness. Visit our local kingdom hall and see brotherly love firsthand. Have any question you can ask but i want good criticism with points.
Re: What Is Wrong With Marrying A Jehovah's Witness? by marabout(m): 4:45am On Jul 22, 2011
Witnesses have very strict rules regarding religion and everyday life BUT you must give it to them that they try to justify them with the bible.

They have been some of the nicest people I have met(speaking from my experience in times of difficulty when others deserted).

Poster, what is this your dream you're talking of, to also have private jets funded by poor brethren?? Vanity.

Jehovah's witnesses' simple life shows to us that all the rush for money by any means/corruption is all vanity.

I have worked and dealt with Witnesses both home and away, they are morally head and shoulder above the average person on the street. Any bad egg is an aberation.

Why are you not a witness then if they are so good NLers might ask? Well, honestly I have not had the courage to turn away from family type of christian tradition, pretty much like this poster BUT I didn't have any extra incentive like a lovely lady witness unlike this poster LOL.
Re: What Is Wrong With Marrying A Jehovah's Witness? by Nobody: 4:50am On Jul 22, 2011
Marrying a witness?

It all depend on both of you and how serious your relationship is. I am a former non active jehovah witness and i am married to a non witness. We understand each other and really love one another

At the beginning of our relationship, i let her know that all my family are witness and a very popular one in naija. I explained the pitfall and the consequence of the relationship. Definitely, due to the differ doctrinal believe, it will not be easy at the initial stage. But, i told her that the only thing that i need from her is her support when facing the backlash from my family. I want her to stand by me and i will definitely stand by her and protect her.

To be sincere, its no easy for someone that grew up as a witness to marry an outsider. Imagine your family not been present during your marriage. Imagine the initial rejection that the witness family will show to your partner. All these should be expected in a relationship between a witness and a non witness.

But, if she truly love you an she is ready to be your wife, she will leave her doctrinal believe behind and marry you. The most important thing is the love and the believe in each other. It work for me and it can definately work for you. Be flexible and be ready to sacrifice but dont compromise your viewpoint or your career goal.

That is my 10cent

If you did marry this girl you must allow her to go to meeting and conventions or things will get very ugly very fast

There is nothing wrong with marrying a Witness if you are prepared to be secluded in the religion. Witness does not believe in faith intermingle AND they are strict when it comes to reverend their customs.

So if you are willing and interested in becoming a Witness go for it. I am sure they will try to pull you if you are not a Witness yet.

Re: What Is Wrong With Marrying A Jehovah's Witness? by brainpulse: 7:33am On Jul 22, 2011
You have to understand that Believe plays a major role in the concept of marriage. you said you are compatible, how? For just one month, you must be a joker. if your believe is different then you are not compatible, only we tend to see the shadow first in relationship than the true image because our insight is clouded by our emotions.
JW is just like a cult that does things among themselves, that only can be permitted by members alone. though they profess to be Christian and preach about the kingdom of God, but a closer look into there doctrine do not believe the true concept and believe of the bible.

Know this.

The Devil and God Knows your dreams.

The Devil will use what seemly looks Good to trade your Vision and the mandate of God for you. Once traded you are doomed, frustrated and confuse without no direction again.

Samson saw true love and he believed that he was compatible with Delilah, But Delilah being a Jehovah witness in this case will want you to leave your calling, vision, dreams , mandate for a long life regrets. Samson lost everything because of the shadow he saw. in the name of true Love

Son, run when your Legs are still very strong to do so.
