was just wondering how many gay exjw's were on this site, and how did you deal with being in this organization?
and also, how did you end up leaving?.
Some of you might be interested on how other churches are progressing in their acceptance of Gay and lesbian people.
The SDAs have held a meeting in Cape Town with the title 'I gods Image' but Gay And Lesbian people have responded with a video because practicing Gay and lesbian people wern't invited.
a lot of exjws need an answer to "where else to go?
" and some people seem to need to belong to an organization.
doing some research on answers.yahoo.com i noticed that both jws and mormons come in for a lot of criticism for being manipulative cults.
Here is a movie that got to the higher ups. It was shown to many congregations throughout the world

Just to update about the church. The SDAs now have female ministers and is going well.
Recently the SDAs held a summit on sexuality in Cape Town in South Africa. 350 SDA church leaders attended including pastors academics and human services experts.
As a result there is a proposed guidelines to deny membership to its practicing LGBT members. However within the denomination decisions about church membership are made by the local congregation so it will be interestinghow this works out.
The LGBT community has hit back with a video.
why is it that we never had coffee/tea after the meeting??
yet, nearly every kh has a kitchen??.
i do now i'm going to church.
We go to a church that has coffee when the kids go to their own church and also at the end. it's a new church so new ones can be made welcome

Ellen white the SDA prophet had a addiction to vinegar which in the 19 century was made with a large portion of whisky. The symtoms she describes are withdrawl symtons of Alcoholism. She describes feeling as if she would die during the weeks of withdrawl. The Whites always had alcohol in their home.

My family attend a low anglican church we have communion once a month and have grapejuice in individual cups. We have ordinary bread and best of all there is great coffee. In fact I will be down at the church in half an hour from now its my job to prepare the coffee today.
professor kevin barrett is not exactly the most trusted commentator you could find, but that, of course, just maybe because, there are people who want his views on 9/11 to be ignored.. anyway he's advanced a theory that the missing malaysian airlines plane was remotely hi-jacked.
in the absence of other evidence, it just maybe what happened.
to consider whether it did happen, we need to ask why it may have been hijacked?
I have a radio control system for aircraft and I have been trying to over ride the control systems of aircraft flying overhead all morning and it doesn't work. I decided to try when I first read this thread. The aircraft are too far away my 2.4 gig radio only has a 4km range.
