Yes...you may have lost a friend! Living a lie, benifits no one...never has and want in your case! It is heatbreaking, but you will need to give careful evaluation to the whole situation, if his actions seem determined, where will that leave you? I still love some people, from afar...that is all i'm saying!

Wow. It's hard for me to imagine an adult choosing to do this. I'm very sorry for the loss of this friendship for you. Because that's what it is. I wish you the best.

He already made the choice for both of you. His JW belief is more important to him than you are.

Wow, this is unfortunate. I have some Jehovah Witness family members and I grew up going to the Kingdom Hall occasionally. My advice would be to be supportive in his decisions, but talk to him about your discomfort. You should not have to feel like a secret and he should not have to feel like he is living a lie. No one is really "winning" in this situation.

Its a conviction of fear. He may change. He may not. It's a process for him to accept or deny. It's also a new friends thing for him. New opportunity has come to him to meet other ladies. Some people need acceptance to something greater then themselve. They're followers with a hidden agenda. Be his friend or move on... I'm sorry for your loss.

Yes it is ridiculous,he chose to be a JW .Just remain friends but move on and be with other friends who are not afraid to be seen with you.

Too bad sounds like the same old story that the people who have a problem with their sexuality cling to religion and use it as a shield to protect themselves against the reality of their sexual being.

Here's me:

"Your religion says you can't hang out with me, and you'll get in big trouble if you break the rules. I don't want you to get in trouble on my account. If your religion is more important to you than our friendship, then you have to follow the rules and we can't hang out like this. If our friendship is more important than the religion, dump the religion. I don't want to carry on a friendship with someone who A) has to skulk around with me like we're criminals and B) doesn't have the strength of conviction to adhere to a voluntarily-adopted code of conduct."

Maybe he didn't convert voluntarily? I sure hope not...

It is ridiculous. I'm guessing an appeal to logic would be lost on someone who chose to join a cult. And you probably tried that already. I'd try to appeal to his emotions with a thought experiment. Suppose you two got into a car accident where you got cut and lost a lot of blood and needed a transfusion to live. If it were his choice, would he let you die to follow JW rules?
