  Homophobia in the name of Jehovah

  PAU MARTI

  Paul Marshall overlooks the balcony of his apartment in Sitges.

  The front door flew open and the man rushed up the stairs in search of air from the street. With empty pockets, he left his family and ran without looking back until it was swallowed by the night of Barcelona. This began to leave Jehovah's Witnesses one of four gay men who have reported to NEWSPAPER how oppressive homophobia behind this religious confession, which has more than 100,000 devotees in Spain and more than 8 million around the world were forced to betray themselves for many years. There are four extestigos who have dared to speak after Miguel Garcia, who complained to the Mossos harassment and parallel justice of confession, break the ice in this newspaper .

  Before age 20, Jordi ( not her real name) to three of his congregation judicial committees created to try him for having homosexual relations faced. He overcame the first two repenting for their actions and agreeing not to relapse. In the third, the three elders who judged him gave him up for lost and was ejected. "It was I who confessed those meetings, because I felt very bad," he says. He did penance for two years. He sat with his family in the last row of the hall the kingdom of his congregation. "I wanted to 'be good' and my parents trusted that redeem me." He managed to be readmitted at the end of the trial period. He sought a woman, married and tried to be what was expected of him: a heterosexual devotee who formed a family with a woman named by Jehovah's Witnesses. Until he could not take it anymore. Jordi is the one that ran from home at night to escape a life impostada.

  Jordi, Barcelona extestigo, was tried three times and finally expelled for sleeping with men

  No one leaves Jehovah's Witnesses saying goodbye with a handshake of those who hitherto have been his 'brothers'. Leave "the truth" and into "the world" -using the terms by which they distinguish what is inside and outside their spiritual bubble is almost a personal shipwreck. Although have left voluntarily, expulsion means your family and friends-all that have- give them back. Also it is to assume the worst fears: witnesses claim that Armageddon (the end of the world) is something that is coming and that only those who have been baptized in their faith will be rescued and taken to paradise.

  GAIS FOR NO PARADISE

  Christian sources in Catalonia Jehovah Witnesses claim that theirs did not feel "phobia anyone." However, they resemble the seriousness of being gay to being a thief, and admit that there are members who have been expelled for homosexual relations. This confession interprets the Bible in a literal way and, on homosexuality, the sacred text of the Catholic Church says this, Corinthians chapter 6 verse 9: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God will not you deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals (...) will inherit the kingdom of God. "

  The Bible explicitly states that neither gay nor effeminate "inherit Paradise"

  Albert, another gay extestigo Barcelona claiming a false name to not add pain to his parents, stresses that this confession choose carefully the words you use. "They Never say that you are homophobic, but they are". The degree of manipulation suffering devotees got him "completely resign" to exercise their sexuality after admitting he did not like women. "I forgot all my existence by God," he explains. "They did it through guilt, because I did feel like a sinner fear, first to lose my family , and keep down my self - esteem." Leaving the community, with more than 40 years, she was "dying". They have more than two years past. How is it going? "I keep tearing chunks of skin almost daily, ways of thinking that thought they were mine and still belonged to any coercion exerted on me , " he explains.

  Consider homosexuality a "disease" and believe they can "cure". In the UK, during the regional meetings held once or twice each year, talks constantly talking about homosexuality, says Paul Marshall, a man of 50 who belonged to a congregation of Witnesses in Hastings (South Inglaterrra) .

  Albert, another extestigo: "They got me through repressed guilt, fear and keep down my self - esteem"

  Sarah, a transgender woman who was born a man in 1979 in Brazil, tried as Jordi, Albert and Paul being who was expected of her. He was beaten and insulted at school by effeminate and at home, after being expelled from his congregation, his father and his sister stopped wanting to sit at the same table with her. During his judicial committee was sincere with the elders and told them that he knew what he had to do was be attracted to women but "did not get it ." The ruling was throw her "sexual immorality," a sentence that read publicly in the kingdom hall Jaboatao, Recife (Brazil).

  Four stories that bind to Miguel Garcia to denounce the persecution of gay men of this creed.

  Many victims cannot afford a legal assistance. I'm going to launch a Crowfunding project to reserve a budget for any victim willing to protect his or her rights.

  More info is to come very soon...

  I appreciate all the expressions of interest and solidarity. It has been a very intense week. I started with the help of many of you, a particular war for my rights as a European citizen.

  We have achieved an important space and advertising with a single complaint, which is a great success that I share with you all.

  The press has not only spoken about a single complaint, but they gave a full coverage on asocial behavior of Jehovah's Witnesses and the last, a very hard Editorial from the newspaper El Periodico director (Link). I can only thank the professionalism and commitment of El Periodico de Catalunya and his team.

  The news are a turbulent river, I will continue to have a presence in other European newspapers and this weekend an interview at a major radio channel in Spain. "Te doy mi palabra" by an important Spanish journalist, Isabel Gemio. The radio interview will include the Statement of the official spokesman of Jehovah's Witnesses in Spain and my live testimony. This will be tomorrow Saturday from 9 to 10 AM Spain local time. You can hear it at: Radio Web link

  Thank you for your solidarity and support, I do not want to destroy a belief. I want an American cult not do more harm to individuals: not impose risky behavior, asocial rules, destroy families, generate emotional conflicts and respect all freedoms, and do not only use the individuals for their economic and business benefits, disguised under a supposed cult.
  

  This is not over here, much less. On the contrary ... I do not want to buy my silence, I do not want the media that talked about my situation received pressures. I want to fight for you. I'M NOT RETRACTING AND WILL NOT RETRACT. What the Periodico newspaper explains is so true that I still suffer in it everyday.

  I will denounce to the press, the security forces and to justice that there are cases of abuse like mine, that there are confidential files on these abuses in the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses, who continue to exclude in an asocial way its former members. I shall continue. WE MUST DENOUCE ... Let no one else suffer like we suffered.

  Hello,

  Enric Hernàndez (@Enric_Hernandez), director of El Periódico (www.periodico.es) has written an Editorial this morning. Very interesting !!

  Link to editorial in Spanish

  Translation :

  Jehovah's Witnesses are a religious entity meeting the requirements set by the state, it is registered since 1970 and has the legal recognition of "deeply rooted", granted by the Advisory Commission on Religious Freedom, for ten years now. We can not speak strictly because of sectarian problem in relation to their situation, but the fact is that we can reasonably doubt from certain practices. One of the most notorious is the ban of blood transfusions, a detail which is always questionable and even more so when it comes to minors.
  

  Another, perhaps less known, is the existence of parallel state courts, a domestic judicial committees that oversee the maintenance of moral norms governing this theocratic organization. The incidence of this type of -opaque, secret and inquisitional- in people who suffer implies for them a personal humiliation that even reaches the family rootlessness judgments.

  Some recent cases of corruption and allegations of abuse; discipline and centralized religious-business structure in a multinational based in New York; and examples such as this publishing newspaper (El Periodico) referring to an almost sectarian, insistent, archaic and with touches of homophobia pressure, should alert us against any violation of the freedom of citizens, believers or not.

  the fact of that a parallel judicial system do exist is amazing them.

  Since my fade 5 years ago I had no connection with JW nor I attended any meeting.

  The fact to be active in Spanish forums helping JW to leave the Org is really upsetting some members in my country.

  In Spain as in other countries, there is only room for ONE judicial system. The same that said the Finnish Ministry of Justice years ago.

  Many exJW in Finland ask for protection and the goverment ask the official statement. Betel in Finland confirmed no Judicial hearings were done, not any more (sic)

  I have the right to claim my protection and my liberty of freedom. The more as I was abused by a MS once I was teenager !

  I have the right to access and cancel the information relevant to my person in the congregation and at Bethel !
