Growing up a gay Jehovah's Witness (My Life Story)

by m0nk3y in

i feel the need to express how i feel and felt about my life as a gay man.

i was brought up from birth as a jehovahs witness.

this has played a major part in my life and it has been a real struggle to get past.

But gay people know we are relating the simple facts as we lived them.....the horrors NO straight boy or girl ever has to face, has no concept of.....having no right to exist .....a waste of breath, a waste of flesh. Evil....filthy....sick....perverted....ugly....unmentionable....unnameable.....in the eyes of everyone else it seemed.

They think we celebrate Gay Pride because we think we're so special and better than everyone else.....just arrogant.....but you and I know that's not so.....oh yeah maybe we are a little more fabulous, haha (wink)....but we celebrate our Pride because......WE LIVED. We didn't die, after all......like all the world and even God Himself wanted us to, so we thought.....we lived, we survived.....and somehow, we prevailed against all the darkness that tried to take our lives from us......unlike so many gay kids who didn't.

BRAVO ! ! ! ! !

whatever happened to this long lost activity?

i can remember a time when you couldn't make it from the convention doors to your car without being approached by at least one glassy-eyed apostate holding a sign or thrusting a homemade tract under your nose.

ahhhh, those were the days...

pretty much living my entire adult life in jw land i had such a one sided biased against the world including gays...in my own family there were a number of gay members that i thought i was so above them and better than them because the bible said so...i had a cousin die of aids in the early 80's and felt no remorse at all...since my departure 4 years ago i have redirected my priorities in life to include those of not my way of life...i currently have a gay cousin about my age and see the world in a whole new light...i no longer feel superior to anyone and accept those for who they are...this has been a long and hard road back to simplicity i'm just sorry it took so long...

Granny, I love the story you told here once about how Uzzah tried to strong arm you away from picketing at Bethel!

And now he posts here, too! LOL

I'm sure you reached a lot more people than you know.

Love you!

HI, BA! How's the garden this year? (Not a highjack)

That Ancient Persian Saying are words to live by.

I always remind myself that others are so worse off than I am when I am feeling down or sorry for myself.

Nice to see you.

Is It Me Or Are The Males of Today More Feminine and/or Nerdy Than Ever B4?

by minimus in

when i turn on the tv, i see so many fem men that i'm realizing that a 'manly" man seems to be a relic of the past.. metrosexuals rule the world now.supersensitive males who are in touch with their feminine side are the norm.. the john waynes & burt reynolds have been replaced with ryan seacrest lookalikes.. ladies, do you find these metrosexuals all that attractive?

?.

Longshanks, are you saying it will have to take a gay man to make you feel something?

Sorry it didn't work out for you and JG. Thongs can be a real deal breaker.

I just came from my elder's meeting

by BonaFide in

just to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.

so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.

i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

If you're gonna lie you might as well just say you banged every single one of those whores and then make those bitches squirm a little for themselves. Let them deal with it. You're already toast.
