it all depends on the situation, they could get a warning if the person was sorry for what they did, if they aren't sorry and continue to do it , then they would be disfellowshipped from the congregation

(About the only provision is: They have 7 days to appeal the disfellowshipping. They must do so in writing; providing a reason for the appeal. We shall consider if their reason is valid to overturn the action taken.)
We work hard at keeping our congregations morally clean.
Once they stop such immoral conduct; -- and when we see other 'works of repentance'; they can make a written plea for reinstatement back into our brotherhood. Many who have been disfellowshiped, and have been reinstated; support our procedure wholeheartedly. Those who do not, are free to go their own way, including joining another religion.

What should I do if my Jehovah's Witness boyfriend is torn between our relationship and his faith?
Firstly, check if he is really one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses usually only date within their religion and are put outside of the congregation if they have sex outside of marriage. If you are in a sexual relationships with an individual outside of the bonds of marriage, then the individual is no doubt NOT one of Jehovha's Witnesses. For Jehovah's Witnesses their partners or family are not to be put above the supreme maker of the universe so if it is a question between respecting bible principle (for example having sex outside of marriage) and pleasing a human, they will chose God. That having been said, there should be no conflict in family relationships if both individuals respect the others right and freedom to worship as they chose and show love and respect for those that don't agree with their choices.
Why is sex outside marriage is commonly practiced in christian societies although not allowed per religion?
Actually -- sex outside of marriage is NOT practiced among 'genuine' Christians.For example: Among Jehovah's Witnesses, anyone who practices sex before marriage, or sex outside of marriage, or adultery; is a disfellowshipping offense. We actually PRACTICE disfellowshipping.Sex outside marriage -- is only practiced among 'psuedo' Christians; 'self-proclaimed' Christians; by people who 'call themselves' Christian. Therefore it gives a warped view of what genuine Christianity is all about.
