    "Sorry, what's disgusting?", I replied. "That thing we've just called on", the sister said in response. "You know, the gay. I can't wait til people like that are no more. They hardly ever change and give up their revolting lifestyle choices. I doubt he'll read the brochure we placed with him."

    I've got quite a lot of non-J.W gay and lesbian friends and they've all been wonderful to me over the years, so these comments hurt me personally, but I know most J.W's feel like this.

    It shows what kind of narrow-minded and prejudiced people some J.W's are, but if confronted they would just say such people live contrary to Jehovah's guidelines and the bible clearly shows they will die.

    I don't know what was worse going from D2D and advertising for the borg or having to put up with the brothers and sisters and their "upbuilding convo" as you do it.

    JWs really have nothing to offer people in general, but in particular, GLBT people. Nothing - except barely suppressed judgement.

    That is why JW organization's two most recent videos on homosexuality - the one with little innocent Sophie and the other with a suggested presentation by a JW adolescent to a school friend - both involve the JWs talking - not to GLBT people themselves - but talking to others about GLBT people.

    It's possible that delightful woman is acquainted with closeted gays, JW or non-JW.

    They'd be wise to keep their own counsel before the likes of her. If closeted JW gays, they and she might be very good friends. Why, however, they would want her company is beyond me. Of course, she would keep a safe distance from the contagion of all who don't love the true god and keep his righteous ways.

    Hypothetical situation, maybe?

    Edited to add: I'd curb my impulse to kick her to the kerb.

    These are the same people who shun their own flesh and blood. Nothing get's worse than than. I would have responded..."I thought we were going to leave the judgement up to Jah." Every time I hear of a experience like this it just confirms that my family made the right choice. No longer part of this destructive, abusive and cruel cult.

    "We`re in your neighborhood spreading Doom and Hate."

    I wish I had been at your place. On the next door, I would have said: "Isn't it disgusting?" - What is? "That fornicator! You can see clearly he didn't have a ring. God I can't wait for Jehovah to rip his heart out. You know, w we preach thousands of hours and these fornicators rarely change. Most of the new baptized are kids that were raised in our pure environment.

    Other door: "Isn't it disgusting?" - What is? "That materialistic egocentric man!" Did you see his two door sport car? God I can't wait for Jehovah to put him deep in the ground. While people starve to death, this guy takes pictures of his car to place on facebook. Disgusting."

    Other door: "Isn't it disgusting?" - What is? "That smoker!" God gives him wonderful perfect longs and he distroys them! Sick animal. Can't wait for Jehovah to show him right and let a bolt of lightning fry him up.

    Oh my god, I think I will puke. Did you see that Ad at the buss stop? Bunnies and chocolate on the anniversary of the death of our lord and Savior Jesus. This is sickening. Can't wait for Jesus to kill them all. Too bad I'm not anointed, I swear I would take pleasure in beheading a few of them myself.

    I would have gone on all day. At first, she would tell me that she gets it, then, eventually, she'd get to the point where she would tell me flat out to shut up. Right then and there, I'd tell her: You see, that's exactly precisely how I felt when you made that first initial stupid remark.

    There was a Jamaican elder in a neighboring hall who was known to include statements in his prayers to the effect of waiting on day Jehovah to finally bring judgment on homosexuals and rid the Earth of their perversion.
