Question
well i have this problem where i was dating this guy, he is a jehovas witness and hes my neighbor from across the street. We were dating since August and just broke up last Tuesday because he said that he spoke about me to one of his i think pastors and told him that he couldnt be with me because of my religion, im catholic. We both love eachother so much but have to stay away from eachother. My question is, what can I do if we both still want to be with eachother and tried so hard to search for answers to be together ?

Answer
Peace

dear Erica
  Love demands one to be truthful. Jehovah Witnesses are not Christian. The reject the "Holy Trinity-One God" and believe that Christ was at one time and an Angel.
   I share the above not to freak you out but make you aware of the doctrinal dangers you can encounter within your relationship with him. Have you attempted to share with him, the truth about Christ and His Church? Many JW's have mistaken ideas about what Catholics really believe. If you indeed love him, you would want him to know the real Christ.
  I can't really give you any real dating advice (since I don't know you personally), except to be totally honest about who you are and the Christ you profess to love as well. Below is some sites, that you might want to look over and perhaps share with him.
