Why Jehovah witness girls can't date?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses view the matter of dating as serious. We believe that dating is for the purpose of finding a suitable marriage mate. If a person is not old enough to be married, then really what reason do they have for dating? Dating just for recreational purposes can be dangerous given all the problems that can come up. Fornication which is sex outside of marriage is condemned in The Bible. In fact, the Bible says that "fornicators...will not inherit God's Kingdom."(1Corinthians 6:9) So, sex with someone you are not married to puts us at odds with God Himslef according to the Bible. (Hebrews 13:4) In the world however, sex among those who are dating, is considered normal activity. People who are dating for the purpose of recreation are putting themselves in danger of falling into premarital sexual relations, which as previously pointed out, is contrary to what God says in the Bible. So, dating is a serious matter. In view of all this, Jehovah's Witness parents ususally do not allow their minor children to engage in one-on-one dating. On the other hand, in most cases young Jehovah's Witnesses usually will go out in groups of young people for various activities such as movies, sports, etc. When a Jehovah's Witness reaches a point in their life that marriage is a possibility, then that person may want to find someone to marry. If that is the case, the Bible states to "marry only in the Lord." (1 Corinthians 7:39) We understand that to mean that we should not marry outside of our faith. That being the case, dating outside of our faith would also not be recommmended.

Answer 3

The choice to date whoever and whenever is an individual choice. Witnesses do have guidelines to help with that decision. What is the reason for dating? Many today feel it is just time they can spend with those of the opposite sex. However to a witness it is part of the process to choose a mate. Wanting to keep high moral standards witnesses would have chaperoned dates with those who have the same regard for high moral standards. It is not a case that Witness do not allow but we choose to seek out others who respect the bible like we do. We commit to a standards that is different from what many feel today and consumes some of our time. If the dating progressed to marriage who the mate who is not a member have respect for the beliefs and activities the member continues to be involved in? Would the non-member mate what the member to be involved in some of his beliefs which may be contrary to a witnesses beliefs?

These and many other situations help the member to reason where the best choice for dating will be. If you are interested in someone who is a witness ask them why the feel so strongly about their beliefs. To witnesses marriage is a very sacred union that requires the full commitment given by both parties forever. To maintain the greatest chance for success spiritual compatibility would be essential.
