Help. My Friend REALLLLYYY like this Girl. However he's discovered she's a Jehovah's Witness.
He hasn't really got a belief, and therefore he is under the impression she'd never date him.
He understand certain rules, like no dating Non-Believers and No Sex before Marriage, and Dating is meant to be with the view of Marriage in the Future, however this is a young age, where Marriage is beyond Dating currently, and Sex is no problem.
What should he do? He really wants to be with this Girl, and he feels he may have fallen in love, can anybody help in this TOUGH situation?

I was raised a Jehovah Witness and those are our beliefs (although I'm not baptized) and they hold on to those beliefs like a safety blanket because to them these beliefs are for their safety and Jehovah gave us the blanket. Your friend needs to understand that there will be no sex, and that she may not date him unless he is looking forward to marriage. But just because this is doesn't mean you have to get married within the next year it could be within the next 5 years as long as you both have marriage in mind. You just can't have pointless relationships though. Also, most of the time you are expected to date a believer because a non believer may influence your beliefs. But they really leave that up to your conscious. As long as you don't try to change her beliefs. Let her know you want try to change her belief or make her do anything against them.

"Jehovah" is the personal name of Almighty God, the Sovereign of the Universe, the Creator. "Jehovah" translates the Hebrew Tetragrammaton into English, and is to be used with reverence and respect.
It is a terrible insult and blasphemy against God to misuse the personal name of the Almighty as a reference to any human. An adherent among Jehovah's Witnesses is most certainly not "a Jehovah" but rather is "a Witness".
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
Sadly, such disrespect for the Heavenly Father and hatred for His people should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:
(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.
(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.
(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.
(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; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
It seems significant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.
