hi everyone, just wondering what your thoughts are on people that say they are born gay?
ive heard that this isnt actually possible, and that there is no scientific backing to it, im personaly not gay but i was just wondering what some of you think on this matter, and if you have anything to back it up with, thanks,.
.
There must be some kind of predisposition.
My nearest sibling (slightly older brother) is gay and he struggled as a teenager. He tried to be hetro' but couldn't, it crucified him because he knew society wasn't accepting gay men (25 yrs ago). He cried buckets of tears until he found the courage to accept that society was wrong, not him.
I have no doubt that he was predisposed to being gay, like i am predisposed to be straight. For him there was no choice in the matter.

,,,,while they were witnesses?
Yep, certainly do. Quite a few.
Including one girl that was screwed by her dad from the age of 6 yrs to 16, during which time her dad was also appointed a Ministerial Servant. I was in the same cong'.
She broke the news when she was in her mid 20's after holding onto it for all those years.

when i first got on the internet, 8/9 years ago, the only people i came in contact with were jw's.
i had just been reinstated, after being df for 9 years.
my first observation was how lonely the chatters were.
I thought this morning of a teenager in a congregation, only supposed to associate with the members. There are no other teens her/his age. So must they grow up not ever having association with their peers.
I've seen this scenario plenty of times, especially in the smaller cong's. It's twisted emotional depravation. So many JW kids end up stunted as adults.
I saw the Witnesses out on the ministry yesterday morning whilst i was in a neighbouring town 10 miles away. I felt decidedly uneasy as they neared me and then one young man greeted me by my first name.
I vaguely recognised him and smiled at him. Nice of him but he must not have known i was DFed.
Pretty little girls with pretty flowery bags looking eagerly at their mummys for what to do next, it almost made me cry.
I feel sooooo sorry for the kids, it really upsets me.
Nice thread Purps.

damn those egyptian piles of rocks and stones, so skillfully put together without an instruction book as to what their 'true' or not so obvious uses are, or may have been!!!.
for nearly forty years, because of some blokes pyramidology fantasy i wasted my life and others have wasted their whole lives, waiting for something that was never going to happen in the first place!.
now, i find myself reading up on pyramids!
How were 70 ton blocks moved many miles thousands of years ago?
How were the Welsh Bluestones moved all the way from the outcrops of the Preseli Hills in Pembrokeshire that went to form most of the Stonehenge Megalith?
Much more romantic.
And i STILL haven't been!!
The pyramids? Something crazy going on there too.

I walked past a dog the other day. This dog usually jumps up at me and makes a nuisance of itself ....and it stinks!
Well, as i walked past this time it was cowerring in its kennel looking afraid. Y'know what? I walked over to the smelly pain in the arse dog and asked how it was.."Hey fella, you ok??".
The dog stayed in its kennel but seemed ok. I cared about the smelly sod!! You getting my point?? A bloody DOG!!
Go figure.
No ISSUE is great enough to warrant the permisssion of the suffering mankind has endured.
Only a greatly misled mind could reason that there is.

did you kill anyone?
rape anyone?...
" gary said "no, i was caught cheating on my wife with"... i looked at the jw and said, "look man, we all fall short of the glory of god, right?"..
Thirdly, no I would not celebrate it, and I highly doubt ANYBODY who has committed adultery is happy about it, unless they are a complete asshole. It hurts people, it hurts you, your partner, extended family.. But on the other hand, no, I would not judge someone for anything at all. That just isn't my place or my right.

i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).
(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).
anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
Thanks for taking the time Ballistic

yesterday i spoke to my mother who whilst she lives away is in touch with elders (and their wives) down my end of the country; yesterday she apparently spoke to an elder who rang her for my address and telephone number; she only gave my mobile/cell/phone number and said that he would have to get my address off me directly - wise move.. i think word has got round; firstly i have openly taunted elders that might lurk on this website; secondly (and known to my mother) i have started a relationship with an ex jw who lives locally, a fact they are probably now aware of.
they also know my marriage has ended some time ago.. i think they are fishing...but for the first time in the years since my exit, i am faced with this prospect without any fear.. for the avoidance of any doubt, i do not recognise the pseudo judicial powers of the wtbts and will not submit to them for any reason whatsoever.
as the net might get tighter my resolve will only intensify.. bring it on!.
Sounds like fun actually DB. I'm quite jealous come to think of it!
