heyo, my name is damien, i'm a trans teenager, and i'm a non practicing jehovah's witness, or deist.

i came here to find other people like me and also to ask if i can be a practicing jehovah's witness and be trans?

or would i have to say i'm cis and hope they believe me?.

The bridge

so my father, who is an active jehovah’s witness, told me yesterday of an experience currently doing its rounds amongst the witnesses in relation to cart witnessing.

there is a bridge called ‘the bridge’ which is a well known place for people committing suicide.

apparently the jws have been setting up there literature carts there for a while now and ever since they have there has been no more suicide attempts from the bridge.

Apostasy Movie (For those who have forgotten)
by KW13 in
1. jw

this movie is out there now in the us and im guessing other territories and due to be released tomorrow in the uk in cinema and for streaming.

https://www.curzonartificialeye.com/apostasy/.

i didnt realise until recently the man behind it all shares a mutual friend with myself so im hoping to get to meet him because this film looks like it will do more for ex witnesses who need justification for moving on and for those who don't understand the religion, i think it teaches more than any documentary?.

Anybody here still believe in the bible?
by Mel Morris in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm a current bible student of jw's looking to chat with someone about biblical doctrine.

i'm not interested in talking with an apostate or a fader, i'm just a person looking for answers and wondered if there are any neutral voices in this forum who have good insights into the bible.

i currently talk with a couple of jw's on a personal level from my congregation and they are knowledgeable to a certain extent, but i dare not ask them certain questions because, as you know, the congregation has a culture of fear that impacts trust and openness, especially concerning biblical doctrine or the societies teachings.

An honest look at the situation
by Formerbrother in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was brought up in the truth.

i saw a lot unchristian things going on in my local body of elders, my dad was an elder and waiting outside elders meetings to go home with my mum and other wives, we sometimes heard raised voices in the 2nd school.

the other mums would raise their voices as well thinking of something to say to hide the elders 'private' arguments.. my dad hated it all, i think he hated having to keep things secret from my mum and me.. anyway, i got baptised, and as we did back then didnt think about further education but instead pioneered.
