Do You Know Any “Gay” Jehovah’s Witnesses?

by minimus in

of 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..

ScottyRex

I stopped going to the Kingdom Hall for this very reason. I did not want to, what was it....bring 'Reproach on Jehovah's name'....

I didn't want to be gay and it sure has caused so many issues in my life. This was 1989. I'm a bit older now and wiser, but the hurt of being cut off and feeling like you couldn't be part still stings a bit.

No that's not for me scotsman- I don't want to join any gay group. I'm ok as me. Funny thing is if I see gay people on telly, I don't identify at all. 'Oh look gay people....' lol.

Bringing reproach on Jehovah's name.

i have thought long and hard about this, you know in those midnight hours.. you will probably string me alive in what i say, but here you go-.

i feel that the jw's do have the truth.

i do agree with the doctrines and biblical exgenesis they propound.i do feel that they have the 'truth' i do understand they are imperfect, and i think they have had to 'refine' their teachings as time has gone on-and change accordingly- i see nothing wrong with this.

I feel that the JW's do have the truth. I really do. I do agree with the doctrines and Biblical exgenesis they propound.I do feel that they have the 'Truth' I do understand they are imperfect, and I think they have had to 'refine' their teachings as time has gone on-and change accordingly- I see nothing wrong with this. The light gets brighter and all that.

I did see a BBC article today though about child abuse and the 2 witness rule. I find this very difficult to defend, and I think the WTBTS has got this so wrong.They need to change.

Bringing reproach on Jehovah's name is very serious.I would implore again that they re-think.

This is difficult to defend at work when others know of my beliefs.

More importantly, no child should suffer. That is the main.

Does This Site Ever Change The Mind of “Spiritual “ Jehovah’s Witnesses?

by minimus in

jw

do you think witnesses who come here believe that in fact they don’t have the truth, after all.

or are we just preaching to the choir?

?.

ScottyRex

'I think that if someone has a doubt they would investigate this place. But I’m not sure if anyone has left the religion because even though they were true believers before they visited the site, they came here and realize that what they believed was not true'

Blimey O'Reilly. How long Minimus have you been on here asking these same questions. How many years and how many?

In answer, no. I haven't really changed (with a lot less posts). In 16 years....have you?
