As a former member I recomend you avoid at all costs

Answer 2

Such 'uneven yokings' are frowned upon by Jehovah's Witnesses. A Witness who dates outside the religion will lose congregation privileges, but cannot be disfellowshipped. If a minor living at home, the parents are also likely to lose privileges.

(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers

Answer 3

I was one who studying Jehovah's witness. They do alot of time reading from bible. Meet three times a week in study hall. They like sports. Likes some music. Do not hang at bars. Never celebrate any holidays. Especially Christmas. Do not have any national patriot for any country. Does not get involved in any political parties. They tend to pull you away from your friends. Either you join in with J. W. or forget him. He will forget you.

Answer 4

It depends on how involved your friend is in the religion. I know for a fact that JW's do not encourage dating outside of their faith. It's just not a good idea because their lifestyle is very centered around the activities at the Kingdom Hall. So my advice is no, unless they are inactive JW's.

Answer 5

While giving his signal, Jesus mentioned the “seven occasions,” calling them “the appointed occasions of the countries.” He stated: “Jerusalem will [hold to] be trampled on through the countries, till the appointed occasions of the countries are fulfilled.” (Luke 21:24) A footnote within the Oxford NIV Scofield Study Bible (1984) tells us that “the ‘occasions of the Gentiles’ [King James Version rendering of “appointed occasions of the countries”] started with the captivity of Judah below Nebuchadnezzar. . . . Since that point Jerusalem has been, as Christ stated, ‘trampled on through the Gentiles.’” How lengthy have been the “seven occasions,” or “appointed occasions of the countries,” to final? Plainly, they could prolong for much longer than 7 literal years of 360 days each and every (as Biblical years have been calculated), which could quantity to two,520 days. Scriptural precedent shows that we must replacement one yr for on a daily basis. (See Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel four:6; evaluate Revelation 12:6, 14.) Such a calculation could imply that the “seven occasions” lasted two,520 years. If they started with Jerusalem’s destruction in 607 B.C.E., they could finish within the yr 1914 C.E. For over 3 many years earlier than 1914, Jehovah’s Witnesses known as awareness to the importance of this date. Interestingly, nevertheless, the e-book International Crisis, through Eugenia Nomikos and Robert C. North (1976), says that there was once “very little proof of a consistent upward push or a ‘snowballing’ of conflicts and tensions main instantly to the outbreak of conflict.” On the opposite, “through past due 1913 and early 1914 . . . members of the family a number of the principal powers seemed to be extra settled than that they had been for a long time.” Yet in these days, seven many years later, historians do certainly say that 1914 was once a turning factor in human historical past. The German reference paintings Meyers Enzyklopädisches Lexikon, for illustration, says that “the results of World War I have been actually innovative and struck deep within the lives of close to all peoples, economically as good as socially and politically.” The political ramifications of the parties of 1914 are good identified. The social alterations it brought on are stated in Virginia Cowles’ e-book 1913: An End and a Beginning. “The yr 1913 marked the near of an generation,” she writes. As regards monetary penalties, Ashby Bladen, a senior vice chairman of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, writes: “Before 1914 the fiscal and the monetary techniques have been suitable. . . . If one takes August 1914 as marking the dividing line among them, the contrasts among the 19th and the 20th centuries are putting. In many facets of human affairs there was a entire reversal of fashion. . . . One principal cause was once the severance of the linkage among the monetary process and cash with intrinsic importance that started in 1914. . . . The breaking of the linkage was once a momentous occasion. . . . 1914 marked an intensive, and ultimately catastrophic, transformation of that process.”...Jehovah's Witnesses not ever taught that Armageddon could be in 1914.
