Still angry when I was growing up and in my teen and young adult years I was not included in the activities that the others were invited too, supposedly because of my lack of interest for da troof and my mother always used to say "well if you were doing what you are supposed to be doing regarding Jehovah you would be invited", yeah, still Hell mad at the young folks in the "only true religion on earth" and their judgmental attitudes..

Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by minimus inof course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?
i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.
they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..

Contrary to common belief, neither the Bible nor the Watchtower condemns homosexuality
So what is Levticus 20:13-14 (or somewhere around there) saying then

An Active JW Sister Modelling For Me
by pale.emperor insince leaving the borg i jumped both feet first into classes i've always wanted to do but was never "allowed" to.
two of which are life drawing and photography.
i've been studying for almost two years now and have seen more nude men and women in our classes than i care to remember.. today in the photography studio i was working in with three others (two women, one man) we were told we had a new person modelling for us.

Maybe she's inspired by professional model Coco Rocha, who still claims to be a JW.

I'm watching the show now, this husband ain't exactly elder material to me, seems kinda weak to me. Plus the fact CPS has called on them 7 times? Something is going here.
The wife got something wrong though, she said the Borg only believes in divorce for adultery and physical abuse? Ha! A wife can go to the Hall with two black eyes and they'll just tell her to pray and go out in service more, and some elders tell the wives it must be their fault if they're getting abused.

I'm sure 99 per cent of the congregations have a gay person or a few, just like there's always the crazy sister or brother. I've said it here before I use the name Shirley W to show the hyprocrisy in da troof. She and her "roommate" attended the cong I grew up in they moved from FLorida to NY to my cong when I was about 9 or 10, which was five decades ago. How they remained faithful servants of Jah I'll never understand. Even when folks used to discuss them someone would always say, "well Jehovah will clean out his organization in due time". Besides them I think of quite a few obviously gay people who were baptized.

I remember them reading this at our Friday night meeting about Sirhan Sirhan, being just 9 or 10 back in 1967-68 don't remember the details, but I definitely remember that announcement at our Hall, about him being a Dub, or I guess someone in his family

Did You Go To Meetings in Very Inclement Weather?
by minimus inliving in new england means having lots of snow and cold.
elders were very reluctant to cancel or reschedule a meeting due to the weather.
i lived 3 towns away from the kingdom hall and if it was icy and treacherous my vote would always be to cancel the meeting....and forget about rescheduling!.

Very rare, but a few real bad Sundays when I growing up I remember my mother staying home . . . sometimes, during bad snowstorms. I think people, at least in my area, NYC, are more afraid to go out nowadays anyway during bad weather because the news people always show folks stocking up on food and buying the last shovel the night before we're supposed to get a lot snow.
I remember we had a baby shower at our house for a sister, wasn't snowstorm but it was snowing and sticking and we had a full house of folks, now people will probably cancel events like that in bad weather
