A guy that grew up with me in the Kingdom Hall was forced by his parents to get married to a girl (a non- witness), he got pregnant. If she didn't get pregnant then marraige wouldn't have been an issue. Right?
I know as Christians we try to follow principles set out for us by Jehovah. We all want our children to be born into wedlock. But he already got himself into problems by having pre-marital sex, getting the girl pregnant, why then force him to get married to her?
I mean it's not like he wouldn't have supported his child. They haven't been married for a good year, now he has to deal with legal seperation, paying a loan to the bank that he took for the wedding, including paying for a vehicle that his wife is driving.
Why couldn't his parents leave them to make their own dicision on weather they should get married or not?
I've seen similar situations so many times inside Jehovah's organization and Outside. Why force someone to get married because of Christian beleifs?
