My Gay Life
by joelbear in
1. jw
2. friends
it seems millenia ago that homosexuals dared not declare that fact about them out loud for fear of being imprisoned, beaten to death or at least ostracized by society.

true, some are still ostracized, some are still beaten but more and more they are simply becoming a part of the social fabric of families, communities and society as a whole.. was it just 1969 that a handful of drag queens decided enough was enough and refused to meekly be led off to jail for the night simply for socializing with each other in a bar in new york city.

i was 11 years old when that happened and was just beginning to understand that i myself was a homosexual.

the ex and fosl went to see brother prince tonight.

he's doing alot of his old stuff, he's suggestive and sexual, and he wears high heels as ever.

if any of us had done this stuff with a garage band, or even worn high heels to the mall, lol, we'd have been df'd in a heartbeat.

A letter to the Parents
by SixofNine in
1. jw
2. friends
a friend gave me permission to post this.

i think it's a good letter, it might help others formulate their thoughts; she understands it may not be read or considered deeply, but things can't get much worse with her family at this point anyway.

no contact is not that much different than contact once per year or less, and sometimes it's just really important to have the people who should know you, at least know you a little.

sorry if this has been done to death, i only did a quick scan and didn't see a topic like this, so i appologize in advance if this was started someplace else.. this morning i woke up and thought about where i was last year, and the complete shock i felt at this same time last year...and i was just wondering if any of you had those same feelings this morning.. so where were you?

i always find stories of what people were doing at the time they heard to be really interesting-please share if you'd like.

To: Ex-JW Women - Your Side
by Amazing in
1. jw
2. friends
ex-jw women: i, and i assume other ex-jw men, would enjoy hearing your views, opinions, feelings, analysis, and conclusions about your jw experience.

how did you feel about your husband, fathers, brothers, elders, ms's, and other women in the organizations?

did you generally feel oppression, and why?

Gleaning at Bethel
by Black Man in
1. jw
2. friends
want to see bethelites act like greedy scavengers?

just check out the tail end of bethel family breakfast, lunch or dinners.

for those not familar with this phenomenon, gleaning was when bethelites could basically bring their tupperware dishes down and store up on the leftover meals once the family was dismissed (usually by prayer, except for the bethel dinner).
