text: jehovah witnesses? i kinda have a question for witnesses. i was introduced to the truth from a guy friend of mine. we werent that good of friends when ever i was introduced but as time went on we stayed in touch and became good friends. i have feelings for him more than just friends. i really enjoy his company and i look at the things he does and realize how he would make a wonderful father and spiritual head.  we dont live in the same state so to be close to him i would have to move there or him here. ive been wanting to go there but i have a feeling some of the people at my hall will get the wrong idea because i wasnt a witness when i first met him, but he was. i guess him meeting a worldly person online does give off that he was doing something wrong so the girl ive studied with seems to have this never leaving skeptism about him. so i dont want her to believe for one second that im studying or trying to get baptized just because of him. because really that isnt it. i cant help exactly how i was... wow! well it sounds more complicated than what it probably is.   my friend, a regular pioneer, met a guy who she really liked. however, he was only studying and she knew the rules and kept her distance. as time went by, this guy of hers got baptized and about 3 weeks ago they got married. she too is 19 and they are very very happy.  i wouldn't steryotype internet encounters. several of my friends, who are also witnesses have only met through internet, but we talk about spiritual and uplifting things. two of those friends i might not meet in this system of things as they are missionares and are off on the other side of the world. but had it not been for internet, then we would have never had an exchange of encouragement.  an elder, a long time ago, liked a girl. she wasnt a witness so he proposed himself to study with her family. he did and as the years went by and the family learned the truth and got baptised, he married the sister. tghe sister is now a regular pioneer and unfortunately, he passed away to cancer. but they had kids and lived a happy marriage. she is now awaiting her resurrection.  either way, notice how these people met their future mate before one of them was baptised.   my advise is wait until you get baptised but make sure that he is spiritual. you can do this by contacting the elders in his congregation and asking them. perhaps after you are done taking that first step.  welcome aboard and if things work out, i wish you a happy marriage.
