The interesting thing is that I've told the elder and his wife who are the study conductors that I'm a gay man right at the start, I thought that would difenatly end it before it even started. But, they continue to text me about meeting for the next study and inviting me to the meetings at the Kingdom Hall.
Of course they haven't dropped you.They WON'T drop you because they probably really believe they can fix you from being gay. They may have some sisters in mind to get you married to after your sunk into the cult. I've known the type of JWs that would already be bragging about how they've gotten you straightened out by "the truth".
This elder and his wife WILL drop you if you start asking the wrong questions. If you're gay, they think they can fix you. If you have a brain that thinks critically, they can't fix that.
for some reason im just drawn to this perticular sect. Maybe because it's different. Some of you may think I'm crazy, oh well, that's me! 😊
WT has well over a hundred years of experience in finding ways to appeal to people and lure them in:
- The love-bombing where you first visit the hall and seem to have all these new friends will later turn into people who find reasons to pick you apart for not dressing just right, underlining your WT, etc.
- You've probably been given lots of commendation on how smart you are, such a good student. The stuff you find interesting now? Very soon you'll find the material tiresomely repetitive because most of the material has a recycle time of 6 mo. to 2 yrs. The message that you're so smart and making such great progress will be replaced with the message that you aren't doing enough.
- And now they probably seem very tolerant and accepting, but since you've already outed yourself as being gay, you will always be "suspect". You won't be able to be alone with a guy because you are/were gay. You won't be able to be alone with a woman (other than your wife) because you're a guy that had lived an immoral lifestyle. You will hear lots and lots of bashing.
And WELCOME!
