There are four main differences between Christianity and JWs. The first is that JWs do not believe in Jesus as being Son of God. They twist the scriptural phrase "the only begotten Son of God" (John 1:14,18) claiming that Jesus was the "first and only being created directly by Jehovah. They also twist the Scriptural reference as Jesus being the "Word" (John 1:1,14) as meaning one who simply "speaks for Jehovah". The second is that they do not believe in the Trinity, as in Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each a part of the Godhead, each separate, and yet united. They do not believe that Jesus was born of a virgin,but that He was "formed" from an angel. JWs understand that we are saved by faith, through God's grace, but that they have an obligation to do works in order to have that salvation. This is in opposition to Christian beliefs, and goes against Scripture. The most important difference, and the one that would probably cause conflict in a relationship between a Christian and a JW would be that JWs believe that only their members will be saved when Jesus returns, and that Christians in particular will be annihilated.

--Former JW here, to set the record above, straight--

1. JWs actually do believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

2. True, they do not believe in the Trinity.

3. They actually do believe that Jesus was born of a virgin, Mary. They differ with other religions in that they do not believe that Mary remained a virgin the rest of her life, since the Bible mentions Jesus' brothers and sisters being born to Joseph and Mary.

4. They do believe that only loyal Witnesses will be saved, but for some reason still insert they also do know who else will be saved. As far as they're concerned, you must be a Witness in "good standing with the congregation" to be saved by Jehovah. Otherwise, why work so hard to be a 'good Witness'?

Answer:Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians but their beliefs differ somewhat from most other denominations. These differences in belief and priorities may pose a problem for a couple "dating". For example, most people see no problem having sexual relations outside of marriage but one of Jehovah's Witnesses would no doubt refuse to do this. The time spend in worship, attending bible classes and preaching may also cause difficulties for the non-witnesses partner.

Although who an individual chooses to have friendships or even intimate relationships with is a personal choice, most people consider what they have in common before they chose a partner in order to avoid conflicts of interest and "problems" later on in the relationship.

Answer:I'm sorry but Jehovah's witnesses are told not to date until they are ready to marry.. and can only marry a fellow witness. Due to what it says in the Watch Tower.

Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians. They view dating as a prelude to finding a marriage mate and not as a social activity.

No, most Witness parents would not allow their 12 year old child to have a boyfriend.

Can a Jehovah's witnesses date an atheist?

A true Jehovah's Witness would never date a non-Jehovah's Witness. JWs are taught that dating is for those who are ready for marriage. Marriage is a sacred bond that two like souls share and JWs only marry JWs or even date JWs because their lives revolve around what they are taught and when they date or marry a person who shares these same principles, ideals and beliefs it makes the relationship run extremely smooth and that much more enjoyable for both parties involved. For more information ask a Jehovah's Witness when you see them or go to your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness' and ask anyone for more information on the matter. I hope this helped and I hope you find your answer.:-)


I really like this boy but he is a Jehovah's Witness and I'm not a religious person can he date me?

That will be up to him and his parents.

Jehovah's Witnesses are encouraged to respect the bible mandate to marry only those that share their faith.

That would be better for you. You just don't it's better if you find someone that is not a Jehovah's witness. That would be better for you. HOnestly, If really love her, wait until your both graduated to get together with her and try going to their meetings and be interested! the parents will like you then! EDIT: if i were you, i would post pone meeting her parents until she is 18. right now, she isn't supposed to be dating any one, due to the fact that Jehovah's witnesses do not date. we carry on a courtship, which means that we have every intent to marry the person. meeting the parents now is not a good idea. you will get her in trouble.
