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.
The Scriptures also warn against elevating human desires above godly teachings.
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-3) We request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason... Let no one seduce you in any manner
(Romans 16:17-18) Keep your eye on those who cause ... stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them. ...by smooth talk and complimentary speech they seduce the hearts of guileless ones.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

Atheist nerd here, used to date a JW (I think I was kind of deist then, maybe) anyway, the point of the story is that she was HOT. Never got past 1st base but I didn't care.
JW are used to people who believe differently than they do. They get a lot of crap.

It would never happen, that is if the JW girl is smart.
1 Corinthians 7:39: "Marry only in the Lord." This scripture should quickly come to her mind and then stray away from that situation because the outcome will only be deterimental. It is not even about conversion, but about what's right. She should be well-trained regarding who to marry.

Everybody is jumping straight into the religious ethics of marriage here. What if she's hot and a brother just wants to hit it and split it?

*Pokes you in the forehead* Is there a brain behind that massive skull-shield? Think about it... Jehova's Witness = massive preaching.. Massive preaching + Atheism = not going to happen..

2 Corinthians 6:14-18 . . .Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? 15 Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Be′li·al? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement does God’s temple have with idols? For we are a temple of a living God; just as God said: “I shall reside among them and walk among [them], and I shall be their God, and they will be my people.” 17 “‘Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,’ says Jehovah, ‘and quit touching the unclean thing’”; “‘and I will take YOU in.’” 18 “‘And I shall be a father to YOU, and YOU will be sons and daughters to me,’ says Jehovah the Almighty.”

Why would you want one? So you can get preached at day and night? Sorry, friend, I don't know if you're a nerd or not, but you sure sound like a masochist.
