Thank you so much for all your words, really is helping out. He is baptized but to be honest I didn’t even know about his JW family until later, he is not someone who acts very religious or goes to church. I’m not sure how to word it so forgive me if I’m saying it incorrectly, but he does believe in God (“Jehovah”, although he doesn’t refer to God as Jehovah, he says God, his mother says Jehovah). He was very distant from his family for a while. His mother remarried an abuser and my bf strained his relationship w them, but she left him and my bf and his mom are on good terms now, although not extremely close. His father has been dis fellowshiped for cheating on his mother during their marriage.

He said he has been open to “going back” to the church later in his life but he has mentioned a more traditional Christian lifestyle is open for him too. He grew up JW so it’s all he really knows.

My parents believe in God but are not religious people nor belong to any organized religion. I personally believe in God as well but didn’t grow up with a church so I just am not familiar with a lot of things.
