Yes. The Scriptures clearly instruct a true worshipper to marry only another true worshipper.
(Exodus 23:32) You are not to conclude a [marriage or other] covenant with them or their gods.
(Deuteronomy 7:3) And you must form no marriage alliance with [unbelievers]. Your daughter you must not give to his son, and his daughter you must not take for your son.
(1 Corinthians 7:39) She is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord.
(Nehemiah 13:25) You should not give your daughters to [the unbeliever's] sons, and you should not accept any of their daughters for your sons or yourselves.
(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers.

Right now since she is a minor, her parents have the responsibilty of rearing her. Whatever she does after she becomes an adult is up to her. Jehovah's witnesses aren't really that bad though. Wouldn't you rather have someone who will uphold bible standards and not cheat on you and be dishonest and try their best to make their marriage work if it ever comes to the point of marriage? Or would you rather have someone who has no morals, no rules, no ethics, etc. Do not force her to stray. Have you ever thought about finding out what they teach? See what it's all about. You don't have to make a committment.

She is strongly discouraged yes but if she wants out of the religion she can do what she wants. JW's are very strict unfortunately. If she can't right now, wait until she is 18 and then she is considered an adult and can do what she pleases!

Jehovah's Witnesses have not got an identical view on relationship that maximum non-Witnesses do. working example, maximum folk at present view relationship as greater of a leisure undertaking, and notice no longer something incorrect with premarital sexual intercourse. Jehovah's Witnesses view relationship as a ability of finding a ideal marriage mate, and in unity with the Bible's advice on marriage, we can purely decide for as much as now/marry somebody who's "interior the Lord", or shares our same faith. you are able to have self belief everybody prays to an identical God, yet that's purely no longer authentic. And it does rely if we act as witnesses for the authentic God, because of the fact if it did no longer rely, then Jesus does no longer have given the commandment (non-elective commandment) to pass out and carry forth to others. ** Panda became by no ability one in all Jehovah's Witnesses. LOL.....as though anybody believes she ever set foot in a KH. ** a simple tactic of ignorant bigots is to declare they're or have been a Witness, even with the actuality that that's sparkling to all they have by no ability been related with us.

Watch out for those Witnesses! she's just putting up a front. Once she has you in her grip she will let Jehovah's hammer fall on you so hard you won't know you've been converted until you have three kids and can't get out! run for the hills and find yourself a good old fashioned sinner!

It's wrong because it's illegal for you two to be dating (if you're having sex, that is), but it's right because you two are in love, just wait until she turns 18, and take her away. If you two can hang out, then she can obviously leave and stay with you. Your relationship might not last long, but at least you'll be helping someone in the process of helping yourself.

its not wrong, my best friend is dating a girl who is in the same situation, but he took his time and learned her religion and goes to the meetings with her, he loves her and gives her the right to do her thing, her parents at first were against them dating but now they think he is the best for their daughter. And they have accepted the fact that he won't give up his religion and won't make her give up hers, they just love each other, and they are getting married next summer. if you love her, and want it to work, make it work!

If your girl friend is "pinkgurl10"
look up the questions she's been asking for the last 4 months.

it's her decision, but i wouldn't suggest you get her to make that decision. try to talk her out of it, saying that there are many couples in different religions (i know alot). some are even as diverse as Hindi and Jewish, Muslim and Hindi, or even (one case only that i know personally) Muslim and Catholic. tell her that the decision can't be made with you as the axis of it. it's her decision. good luck, buddy.

That's a tough call...she's not "of age" and trust me, that cult is hard to get out of.
I dont think it's wrong.
