  I now have a gay boyfriend! Disfellowship me!

  by TimothyT in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i cant believe how amazing i now feel as opposed to how aweful my life was but 4 months ago.. after some careful consideration, i decided to be gay despite being a jw.. the moment i chose this course, my life became so positive and i noticeably felt happy again.. 3 months ago i met a lovely man who took an interest in me.

  one week ago we decided it was time to become boyfriends.. well, i feel incredible.

  all i can say is that this course of life based on my being true to myself, despite the fact that it contradicts what i have been brought up to believe, has made life worth living again.. despite being gay, and slowly coming out to those who matter to me, i also have come to realise how flawed this organisation is anyway.. im a keen bible student but i dont see the organisations claim to authority.. to be honest, ill be glad to get out of it and start living my life as happily as i can whilst still trying my best to serve god.. thanks to those who supported me and of course to my boyfriend 'jackal' who joined this forum in order to understand what has made up my entire upbringing!.

  based on certain families who i've known personally in the "truth", there was infidelity which resulted in children out of wedlock, drug abuse, abortion (involving an elder's teenager), verbal, emotional, & physical abuse (by parents and spouses), and dependence on public assistance.

  new poster

  hi, i'm not new here, been lurking forever, just a new poster.

  i was a jw for 25 years, did it all,been out now for 7 years, for the most part have healed pretty good.....but some things can't seem to shake.

  the thing i'm most regretful of is raising my children in that cult, if i could just re-do that, i think i could be totally over the trauma of the 25 years i was in.

  Where Did You Think You Stood?

  by Ding in

  consider a scale from 0 to 100.. 0 = if armageddon comes tonight, i am doomed for sure.

  100 = if armageddon comes tonight, i will survive into the new system for sure.

  back when you believed the wt was the truth, what range on this scale reflects your own assessment of where you stood with jehovah?.
