This is a 16-year-old boy and his cousin, Samuel, who he has grown up with. All of their family is Jehovah's Witness, but he and Samuel have a spiritual bond as well as a close friendship. Recently, Samuel has started dating someone his age and the 16-year-old boy has begun to feel distant from him. He is upset because he wants to maintain a relationship with his cousin, but is afraid that if he becomes closer, it will conflict with his religious beliefs.

Question: I am a 16-year-old boy and I am a Jehovah’s Witness, and my best friend from my whole life has been, my cousin Samuel him and I grew up in Jehovah’s Witness family. All of my family has always been my spiritual side of the family hasn’t really been that spiritual but I had kids that didn’t really affect us but now we’re older and he’s in high school mind you we would talk every day play every day FaceTime every day text every day when we’re younger, but I wanna relationship since last year has switched up like very quickly. We went from calling every day talking every day playing every day to going weeks and months without talking to him and we have realize that he has been doing things in school that aren’t good and that , I had already had a cold relationship with him before we fuck found that out but I know if I’m not out I completely stop talking to him because I want to text occasionally and he wouldn’t answer occasionally sometimes he would not answer me at all but when I do my cousin has a girlfriend and it’s in to my religion the next step because first of all, he’s also 16 and that’s not appropriate age to have a girlfriend and if you would have a girlfriend or a partner they would have to have the same beliefs as you but what I do it seems as if I had to separate myself completely from him but I’m emotionally not ready for that

but I want us to have a better relationship, and he sees that I’m a Jehovah’s Witness and he’s understand what I what I had to do and how I felt but I don’t know if I should completely cut him off while I obviously don’t want to be in the same situation so is there any advice or something I can do to help me and my cousin have a better relationship that still allows for me to not be in the same situation as him and still keep our bond? Thank you. The most important thing to remember is that you should always prioritize your faith and values. That being said, it sounds like you're in a difficult bind right now. It's understandable that you'd want to maintain your relationship with your cousin, but at the same time it's important to stay true to your beliefs. The best way to try and find a solution is to first talk to your cousin and explain why you can't condone his behaviour and that you hope he understands. Have open and honest conversations with him and be clear about your boundaries - let him know that while you still want to maintain a friendship, you can't be around him if he's participating in activities that go against your faith. However, you don't have to cut him off entirely. Instead, you could try and limit contact between you two by only seeing him in certain environments or meeting him at certain places (such as schools, churches or community events). Overall, it's important to remember that your faith is always your priority, and that you should never do anything that would make you feel uncomfortable or ashamed. Ultimately, this is your decision and you should do what feels best for you. Good luck!
