Not having pre-marital sex is not a ‘rule’ of Jehovah’s Witnesses; rather, Jehovah’s Witnesses belive in adhering to God’s loving commands in the Bible to ‘abstain from fornication,’ which is just a word that essentially means having sexual relations outside of the marital arrangement, or extramarital sex on the part of married persons (adultery). (1Thessalonians 4:3-8) I don’t know if your friend was baptized or not, but his being what you consider ‘kicked out’ would only take place of he weren’t repentant – or in other words, if he didn’t think what he did was wrong and had no intention of trying to do God’s will. No one is just thrown aside for having pre-marital sex; we’re all human and make mistakes. Nevertheless, by him trying to get back in, it would be likely that he was advised not to see you. This is because the Bible says to marry only in the Lord. (1Corinthians 7:39) I don’t know what your religious faith is, but if it is not your interest to abstain from sex before marriage, and he is trying to stay on the right track, then there would obviously be conflict. Of course, marrying only in the Lord is not just referring to sex, but to other religious matters, also. The advice for him not to see you is only out of concern for him and in an attempt to help him from repeating the mistake. If you two stayed together long enough, most likely you would become sexually active again. Consider, for the sake of example, a mother who finds out her child has started experimenting with cigarettes with some of his friends. If she confronted him and helped him see the danger in this, and he agreed and was willing to keep away from doing it again, don’t you think she would also tell him not to hang around those friends of his who are smokers, as he would probably try it again and may even wind up a smoker himself? The same principle applies to your situation with your friend. It’s nothing against you personally; I’m sure you’re a nice person, but this loving advice was out of concern for him and in an attempt to aid him in continuing his spritual goals.
