If the boyfriend is a true Jehovah's Witness, he would not be pursuing a relationship outside of the religion.
(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers
(Exodus 23:32) You are not to conclude a covenant with them or their gods.
(Deuteronomy 7:3) And you must form no marriage alliance with them. Your daughter you must not give to his son, and his daughter you must not take for your son.
(1 Kings 11:4) And it came about in the time of Sol′o·mon’s growing old that his wives themselves had inclined his heart to follow other gods
(1 Corinthians 7:39) She is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord.

wow, don no abt dat.
Think that it's easier for the both of you to make your relationship work if you share some similar beliefs. There are things that you would become a big challenge for you later on when you try to resolve an issue amongst you or if you have kids...think about it.

yes, my mother is roman catholic and my father is baptist and they have been married for over 40 years. they respect each others religious point of view. my father allowed my mother to raise us (me and my two sisters ) catholic. to date I am Protestant, My oldest sister remains catholic, and the middle sister(me being the "baby") is agnostic.but remember advice the bible gives us about being unequally yoked. it may have worked for my parents but may not be suited for every one . if in doubt ask the person (or spirit) that matters most GOD.

As long as you both are supportive of each other's beliefs, yes.

sure as long as you agree to disagree on the subject. you do your thing he does his, since neither of you is very active it shouldn't be a big deal.
