Too bad they aren't Latvian Orthodox, then you'd just have to take a test.

And, wow, someone using an Ayn Rand quote to prove a point in a serious manner? I LOLed.

You should try reading her sometime before you show your lack of education again.
 
yeah i don't know many religions that don't accept converts...isn't that the purpose of most religions...i guess they better get on the baby makin or their religion will soon be gone.
 
I'm just not seeing a good end to this unless she's willing to renounce her family and religion. As, as we all know, Islamic (and Islamic-like) religions are well known for their tolerance and forgiveness...

This religion doesnt even share its beliefs to the public, so its kinda a guess as far as what they believe exactly


the problem is.... how can you think your religion is right if there are only so many thousand of you 🙂

Missed the link... Yikes

Op needs to:

A) Run away
B) Look over his shoulder when his SO abandons her family

When my SO abandons her family I will own a gun (don't yet). But I'm buying a Glock 19 soon for targer practice/home protection. SO will know how to operate the firearm. I also practice JKD so I'm proficient at hand to hand combat.

She's not going to leave her family or her religon.

After a bad experience like this I will never date a girl of..

Islamic (or similar) religons
Fundamentalist Christian (asian)...

Most intolerate groups of people I've ever met.

I thought religon was supposed to preach tolerance.. I guess that just got lost in the message.

oh man i'll agree w/ you on the Fundy Christian parts for Asians. holy phok. My ex was one, and she'd force onto me the topics of conversion and such. why the phok for? she just kept arguing w/ me about the topic. pissed me off to no end.
 
She is an odd religion that doesn't allow it's members to date outside their religion and doesn't accept converts.

She knew this going in, so it seems like she's already made her mind up. What am I missing?
 
Wait a second...if her religion doesn't allow converts, then how do they keep membership up? Are you born into it and can't get out?! That sucks...
"Druze religion does not allow them to intermarry with Muslims, Jews, or members of any other religions. However, these rules are often disregarded in modern societies." FTW!!!
Wow...very interesting "religion"...I'm not gonna get into the cult/religion debate, but it's an interesting mix of Gnosticism, Christianity, and Islam...also esoteric, which makes it all the more intriguing...
 
Sounds like it's more her problem than yours. If she doesn't want to take the chance of being disowned/killed/hated by her family, then she can't stay with you. That's really the only choice to be made.

As far as what they believe, well, people have been more blind before.
 
Radio announcer Casey Kasem, born Kamal Amin Kasem to Lebanese Druze immigrants to the U.S., is probably that country's most well-known figure of Druze heritage. About 20,000 Druze live in the United States.
Druze religion does not allow them to intermarry with Muslims, Jews, or members of any other religions. However, these rules are often disregarded in modern societies.
The Druze faith keeps its tenets secret. They are publicly open about very few details of their faith (borrowing from the Shiite practice of taqiyya) and they do not accept converts and strongly discourage conversion from their religion to another. This is due to many religious, political and historical reasons: the Druze were violently and brutally persecuted for centuries by other religious communities.
The Druze are split into two groups. The inner group are called uqqal, "Knowledgeable Initiates". Male uqqal grow moustaches, shave their heads, and wear dark clothing with white turbans.

the only options:

she leaves the religion/family and gets disowned
you break up


sorry dude, good luck
 
Break up with her. What good will she be as a gf/wife if she is going to be traumatized by her family disowing her. She's going to have to deal with this on her own. Nothing good will come of it until she confronts them and decides to stay with you or have them accept you.
 
:laugh:

You're both 20?

She needs tell her parents to fsck off and die, it's none of their business.

I've been dating my SO for over a year. We're both 20. We have a serious relationship and have discussed the possibility of marriage. However, if she were to expose to her parents that she was in a relationship with me she would get disowned by her family (seriously). She is an odd religion that doesn't allow it's members to date outside their religion and doesn't accept converts. I guess there's nothing that you can tell me that I don't already know... but the situation sucks.

We're planning on moving in together when I get my associates (less then a year), I cannot post pictures. Sorry fellas.

Her religion: Text
why parents do this to their kids is beyond me. it's their loss, because your love for each other will force her to choose between you and them.

Well I cant say the religion... But the information on it is available here: Text

Why can't you say the religion, yet you can post a detailed link to it which reveals the name and many other details?

Haha, on the contrary, sometimes I feel as though I'm one of the few people here that actually has college-level education in philosophy or political science.

I believe you took my comment out of context. In fact, Atlas Shrugged is one of my favorite books, no matter how ridiculous objectivism is in reality (but that's for another thread). The quote was funny to me becuase I've never seen Ayn Rand quoted like that before, that's all I was getting at.

I didn't want google crawl to pick up this thread. My profile shows my town and it may be picked up somehow.
