Yes, yes, a very civil thread indeed! There are other sites, other participants whose attitudes wouldn't be so... well, enlightened.

I have seen a number of families torn to shreds by these "conversions", always ugly, usually because the organisation keeps pounding on the converted about how they are living with a sinner, and raising the family in sinful ways; how powerful is that? Tell someone that they are sending their kid to Hell because (usually) hubby won't convert, now there's a dinner table conversation no one wants to be part of! More than once I have told reps from SDA and JW that their zealotry is more destructive than any vice, right up there with heroin and crack, and that they are lucky the Law protects them because of their greedy practices. Usually, that is when they leave.

Staying in a relationship like that is only going to put off the inevitable: "little" problems get a whole lot bigger as time goes by. Certainly, it is best that it came up now, rather than after you established a family. You just know that they will find her a "suitable" mate when you split.

Very true, and I hope she turns around in the sense of being able to coexist with my beliefs.
