is it possible, I'm akind of in the middle of one but don't know if I want to continue because of jw, I really like the girl, but what should i do, recently I just gave her a birthday gift, and now I think it was a bad move I did, what you think, should I get out of it or stay. I truly care about this girl.

hmm..different people different cultures..sometimes it's hard to find a way in between...some traditions are very strict and if rules are broken,one of the partners can be faced to choose between family and lover...it's hard to do that especially if you were educated in a certain way..but if there is love..everything is possible:)

Its your call. But i once dated a book thumper. I drew the line the day she asked me to give her a pump on my bike to a foreign neighborhood. They all ran yelling out "the jehovahs are coming the jehovas are coming"... they ran us out of town by pelting us with rocks. But then on the other hand, they dont celebrate holidays , and thats easy on the pocket book!!

lolllll...that is not a very religious thing to do....i respect other people's beliefs and they should live their life as they wish as long as they are happy...it only gets complicated when they fell in love with someone from another religion and then family gets in the middle..

Unless you are prepared to accept her beliefs as your own, I would find another girl. That is going to be a huge chasm between you and it won't get smaller. Her plans for you more than likely is to get you converted to JW and if you don't she will probably be dropping you. I forgot and sent a birthday email once to a friend that was JW and she got really upset with me.

tanks for you comment. Well havent talked to her much lately. One thing for sure, I will not convert to jw, even for her. I cant convert to something I dont believe in, I never read in the bible once, in my life, and dont even live by it, I use my comen sence.

I read about a court case where a Jehovahs Witness woman testified in court that her parents had killed her baby straight after birth to hide the shame of a baby born without a marriage. Yeah right, thats clear thinking for you, murder your grandchild to keep in good standing at the Kingdom Hall.
I've been to Denmark and just loved it so much!

I think you and this girl need to talk and get to know eachother, exploring your feelings for eachother. I don't believe in differences separating people. If you and she truly have things in common you will discover them together. Go for it!!
