theres an interesting thread here:
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/14/92000/1.ashx and i thought i'd open up the discussion again in the guise of "coming-out" to jwd.
it's taken me about 5 hours to get the language and style of this post right.
I see no-one has posted on this topic for a month but I've only just worked out how to get on here - being technologically-challenged - and I'd like to say just:
I'm gay and xjw;
I didn''t leave because of sexuality (at least not consciously, anyway) but for reasons of conflicting interpretations of scripture which never got satisfactorily resolved for me; ensuing questions about whether or not I really believed the bible and in the existence of God;
I didn't really get free (inside) from JW religion until a few years ago until I read Ray Franz's books
I remain an unsatisfied, sometimes uncomfortable agnostic, but am not helped to embrace any kind of Christianity because of various issues in the Bible, yet I continue to be drawn to issues of "spirituality", and attend Quaker meetings
I'd welcome anybody to contact.
Best wishes
Clive
