Not sure where your problem is. I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. As a Christian, I am sure you realise that studying the Bible is a wonderful use of your time.
You sound like you might be a minor, if so then the only issue I see is possibly your parents not wishing for you to take part in prayers or Bible study or what not, if that is the case, you should show respect for their decision.

A sin? don't know if it would be classified as a sin, there might be scripture that talks about this kind of situation. My good friend is catholic, but I wouldn't do any religious activities with him because I know the differences. We debate a lot about the differences and show scripture to each other, its fun. You have to be careful though, they believe Jesus Christ was not God in the flesh. You do, that is just the man thing I know I am sure there are more. Praying with them might be good or bad, depends on how it is being done. If you are praying to a saint or something like that, well that goes against your teachings. It's iffy if it does not hurt what you are taught, than I wouldn't say it's bad. But if it interfers than the friendship can stay but participating with them in there "religious" activities should stop.

Most of your questions were spoke back. As some distance as going out in carrier, you might no longer be in a position to, as you're no longer a JW. So you do not need that to fear approximately. I am the one one in my loved ones that's a JW. My nephews come over at all times, I might no longer take them to the corridor with me if their moms and dads say to not, when you consider that I recognize their wants as moms and dads and their ideals. Everyone is entitled to their possess ideals, Jehovah gave us all loose will. They love you so they'll invite you, however Jehovah does no longer wish to drive worship. So if you do not wish to head, simply allow them to recognise. But in case you do move, take your bible a pay near concentration to what's being taught. You maybe amazed.

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe the bible to be the only infallible inspired means of knowing the Creator's will and purposes. Jehovah's Witnesses pray in accord with the bible pattern, using the name of Christ Jesus.
There is no sin involved in studying with and/or praying with adherents of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Christianity and all the other Religions of the world teach about brotherhood. Theres no religion in the world which condemns other religion. Having a friend of another Religion doesnt result in Sin ! After all , every human's blood is RED!! :-)

It's not a sin.
Contrary to NY's newsflash. JW's are not Christians. You are going to run into many fundamental differences between your beliefs.The trinity, who Jesus was, how we are redeemed, and who goes to Heaven are just a few areas where you will have some serious disagreements. In short, your friendship with this girl can only go so far. There are only so many things you can talk about before you run into an obstacle. I think it's wonderful that you don't allow your religious differences to keep you from genuinely caring for your friend, but the people who should be closest to you, should be other Christians.

Why would it be a sin?
She is your friend, true friends are hard to come by, so don't let religion get in the way of it.

So? I'm an atheist and two of my best friends are a Pentacostal and an Episcopal priest. We have far more in common than our differences. Friends are friends. Treasure them.

Jewish people believe in the same God we do but they don't believe Jesus is/was the Messiah nor do they believe he is the Son of God and therefore Deity. you must let your conscience guide you in this matter. and from your question you seem to have a problem.
