Freydo, if you don't like content of the thread or you perceive it as such a threat, why resurrect it after it's been dead 7 months? I woud've never seen this one if you hadn't commented on it. Now I'm going to join a Satanic Cult because of you.

Not surprisingly, the rumor mill has started...

my wife and i have not even been df'd for a week and an old friend on fb (an inactive jw who has active jw friends who used to be friends of mine) says there's a rumor going around that i'm gay.

wow.

really jws?

Haha... True, Sam. My mom was being facetious and asking a few months ago about the new religion we made up, how many members we had, etc... It's the depth of brainwashing, I guess. There can't be a legit reason for someone leaving so there must be some underlying reason.

I try so hard to give the individual JWs the benefit of a doubt and instead direct my frustration toward the pulishing corporation/control group. This makes it difficult.

Need to remind myself that their opinion simply isn't worth shit.

My wife and I have not even been DF'd for a week and an old friend on FB (an inactive JW who has active JW friends who used to be friends of mine) says there's a rumor going around that I'm gay. Wow. Really JWs? Really? We were banking on standard adultery as being typical JW assumption. I suppose my wife is a lesbian now, too?

Maybe he was kidding, I don't know. But I wouldn't be completely surprised if he really heard that. JW prejudice is not new. Oh, wait, I'm a straight guy who has three gay friends on FB and I'm "not ashamed of them like I should be." (Quotes reflect frame of mind JWs probably had as I figure that's how this started.) Gasp! That must make me gay! Yeah, only to a prejudice bigot.

Due to my upbringing, I've had to make an effort to clear out my prejudice against the gay community, which is the reason I can now have gay friends and not feel like I'm condoning the equivalent of pedophilia. But these JWs know I'm straight and happily married. I'm not pissed because I think gays are from the devil but because it's a lie and it presumably tries to attack the relationship I have with my wife or my reputation as a family guy.

And to think this must've been started by people who were "friends" not even a week ago. I honestly think some of them are pissed off because I've been assertive about the negative effects of their religion. (I posted a farewell letter on FB instead of my Manifesto idea.) And all this time I've been trying to avoid any anger towards individuals but WTF?!

There's part of me that says who gives a f@ck, let em think what they want. People are going to make up senseless shit just to try and make me and my family look bad. Why should I care? They aren't my friends anymore. I know reality and my wife does, too. It's hardly more insulting than if they said I was an adopted child. I wouldn't pay any attention to that, why should I pay any attention to this?

And even though I tell myself that, I still wish those old friends had enough respect for me to not spread fucking lies. THAT is cowardly BS.

Okay, CJ. I'd give anything to know where a set of keys are that I lost a few years ago. If your demon buddies can find em for me, I'll be a believer for life.

[edit] You're my hero for this. I've always talked about getting one but nobody wants to share in the fun around here.
