one of my best friends was disfellowshipped several years ago, and word quickly got around that it was because he's gay.
we lost touch after that because of the disfellowshipping, but since i'm out now, i just found him online and got back in touch with him.
it was a great conversation, but he said he returned to jehovah.
If a gay person returns to the JWs they are expected to remain celibate. I should imagine they are also watched intently if they speak to anyone in the congregation who are the same sex. How can anyone feel comfortable living like that? xxx
I guess that any single person who's a member of the JW's is expected to remain celibate, hetero or gay.
he was a unique voice, i loved him.

maybe leonard bowed out because donald got in.
So sad. The very first song I learned to play on guitar was his "Tonight will be fine".

i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.
really, wtf!.
the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.
This result just tells me that there is a whole lot more going on in the minds of the electorate than is surfacing in the media. It's another one finger gesture from the electorate to their leaders, a real "fuck you, we'll do as we like" sort of gesture. Just like in the UK, there's a rebellion among ordinary folk who are being taxed to the hilt while also being told what they can and can't say in the name of ultra-liberalism. People are being squeezed and this virtual anarchy is the result. It's certainly not logical, but I'm beginning to understand it.
i don't know if this will be of any use to our cousins from across the pond, but the principal of a uk school or college is generally referred to as simply "the head".. .

i just left about six months ago and i'm going through the emotional whirlwind that comes with it.
i would really appreciate some advice on how to keep this fade from turning into my being disfellowshipped.

this image appears on the current main web page - as you scroll the "witnessing" photos.. weird "facial" image at the guy's right shoulder.. .
It's definitely deeminz.
just wondering.
for you scotch lovers, i've been partial to singles for a long time, but was recently given a bottle of johnnie walker green.
i think i've fallen in love.
Anything that's been well rummaged..
they wlll always have new people coming in but the majority of the congro's are getting older particularly the inner city ones were it is expensive to live.
they are struggling to get men to be elders and m.s's and this can only get worse as very few young ones stay around.
karter..
My family called them submarine witnesses, only surfaced one a year for air.
In the higher echelons of UK dubdom they're known as Memorial Saints.
And it's meant to sound mocking.
