Non Jw Dating a JW

I am mostly concerned about her losing her parents. Will she still have her parents if she leaves on her own or will that be worse then being disfellowshipped excommunicated? I am looking for a loophole. I know that is not the right thing to do, but she loves me and I love her. Is it possible to go to an elder to ask for his blessing on our relationship? You and your girlfriend are in a tough situation. It requires full commitment of your time, energy, resources, and loyalty. Partial loyalty is simply not acceptable in this religion. At any point in your relationship, the elders can intervene and command her to stop dating you. Are you prepared to face the potential consequences for converting under false pretenses and the harassment you would face if you do not measure up to all the demands of this religion?

I'm a non Jw currently seeing a Jw. I am not totaly clear about the rules about Jw's in dating. Could someone explain this to me and does it vary from family to family at all? Matter of fact, they are only allowed to date other JWs if they are seriously 'looking for a marriage mate. Some JWs and some JW families are more lax about this than others, but the elders take intense, personal interest in each member of their congregation at least if they're breaking the rules and if it gets out that a JW is dating a non-JW they can get in a lot of trouble. I hate to be negative, but many JWs who date 'worldly people' non-JW are doing so to have a secret life, so I wouldn't count on acutally being a real part of their life.

JWs live by a very strict moral code, rather Puritanical in nature, that forbids any type of sexual contact between people who are not married to each other. Once engaged to be married, the rigidity of that policy slackens only the tiniest bit. As a result JWs do not engage in what most non-JWs would consider normal dating. Therefore, teenaged JWs do not date.
