    I'm not going to lie to anyone on this forum or sugar coat anything to be popular here. I am here to spread the truth. Many here know what truth is but want to hide from it. You can't hide from truth because it will always find you and all those fairy tales you believe will turn out to be the lie.

    I agree with you that we shouldn't sugar coat the bible. In that spirit, here's my favorite fact about homosexuality in the bible: The Old Testament, where men are allowed multiple wives, never forbids, or even mentions, lesbianism. Mind you, the Mosaic Law covered explicitly what was allowed and forbidden sexually, including women having sex with animals and which relatives you shouldn't have sex with. It mentions male homosexuality explicitly. Yet no mention at all of lesbianism. I wonder why...

    In the New Testament, men were limited to one wife, and low and behold, lesbianism is finally forbidden! The two seemed to go hand in hand. Why was that. Could it be because when men had multiple wives they enjoyed having three ways? Of course! The men that wrote the OT would never forbid lesbianism because they were engaging in sex acts with their multiple wives that involved some degree of lesbianism. All your OT heroes, Abraham, Isaac, David, certainly that ultimate pimp Solomon, were having orgies anytime they felt like it, and god didn't have a thing to say about it. Think about that for a while.

    Welcome Str8/Not,

    You are in the right place to converse with non-judgmental ex-Dubs who can relate to your experiences.

    All the best,

    Welcome! Thank you for sharing your story. I have known many witnesses who were gay but lived as if they were not and denied themselves thinking there was something wrong with them. It is a sad way to live.

    I hope your family can one day accept and love you as you are. Until then, you have us. :)

    I assume your comment was "tongue in cheek" beks! Seriously though, I never considered being gay was a decision. You are or you're not, nothing to decide. So, I simply don't get JG's comment.

    Welcome to the Board, Str8
    (I love the irony of it, too.)

    I am also a gay man that grew up as a dub. I know exactly what you are speaking of.... from the bad dreams, to trying to be Super Witness. I've been through it as well, as have many others on the board. Stick around and learn as much as you can.

    Regardless of what some may say, it is possible to be a happy, openly gay individual. But, it does take a while. Don't rush your, for lack of a better word, "recovery." Then again, for only having DA'd in August, it seems that you are well on your way. In fact, you're much further along than I was at that point in my journey.

    Best regards,
    CountryGuy
