Wish I had a heart that worked properly, or I would be sending Emails to all our major newspaper about this disgusting homophobic behaviour.
Thanks for sharing Kate.

i was outraged at this and had to post it.. http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/jw-refuses-to-provide-wedding-stationery-to-gay-couple.
i think she is a hypocrite and i bet she sells her invites to fornicators, or does she ask them if they are having sex before marrige, before she takes their money?.
i was never like this when i was a jw, it's even more disturbing that she is going to ask her elders what to do.

hello there i am new to the faith and have been studying for about a month.
i am very excited and hungry for the truth and have not missed a meeting or study since the memorial.
we do about 2 bible studies a week.
To the OP, I am sure you can appreciate that people have taken a lot of time to write down personal and often painful experiences in the hope that it will help you. I do hope that you now take some time to read everything, and come to your own conclusions about whether you want to continue studying with the JW's. Forewarned is forearmed.
Good luck to you and your family.

i have posted before about my experience trying to get on the "do not call" list.
despite repeated requests, a phone call to the hall and mailing a letter, and then giving a copy to a jw, they just keep coming by.
i was going to put up a no soliciting sign, then i can call the police on them, but my husband doesn't want me to do it.. so, i decided if they come back i would have some fun.
I put up a horseshoe over my front door, and hung a Smurf from the light. Oh, and hubby sent a letter to the KH saying that if they continued to harrass me, the police would be called.
I hope they leave you alone soon Lisa Rose x
Fantastic, let us know the outcome

you ever seen a guy that you thought, " i'm not gay but hey!
i like the cut of his jib"?.
well here's the: blokes i'd like to "yenz" thread.
One of the most beautiful people I ever saw was a traveller girl of about nineteen walking through a local fairground...I mean she was jaw-dropping gorgeous...everyone was staring at her. I still remember her face to this day and I saw her over 4 years ago... I'm very much heterosexual....as Kate said, we can admire others from the same sex, nothing wrong with appreciating beauty.

on a recent thread about the fleecing of the sheeples, one poster said their congo was down to 85 publishers from 102.. the last hall i attended had 80-odd publishers 20 years ago, now only 30.. how much of a decline at your kh?.
Just observing the cars parked directly in front of and around the KH.......when I went until 2009, around 30 cars,....now......12-15 on a regular basis.
do you beleive our spirit lives on in other dimensions or are we really just dead?
?.
This was the most upsetting realisation for me when I learned TTATT......that I would not see my mother and other loved ones in paradise on earth.
I wanted so hard to believe..........now, I think when we die, we simply cease to exist. That's why I aiming to enjoy living my life NOW. "This is not a dress rehersal" as my mam used to say.
russel is burried under the pyramid.
according to none other than frederick franz himself, in his own words!.
i read some wt trolls on here trying to say that he is under the marker a few feet away.. that is not true.
I read that on here Joe about the garage, sure of it....
i'm sure we could all write long paragraphs about this question, but in a few words, what is your biggest regret, or frustration in life due to being a witness?.
what missed opportunities did it cost you?
.
Leaving my darling mother dying in intensive care to attend a Convention. I don't think I will ever forgive myself!
Although, as I was an hour late (we had left the hospital to bomb up the motorway and caught traffic), not one person greeted me warmly, and in fact, the first words out of my "friend's" mouth were......."You're late"...........She KNEW where I'd been!! So loving, yeah.
Fortunately, after sitting there for half an hour, Jehovah told me to "screw this shit" (actual words!).......so I left......and NEVER WENT BACK!!
Hubby just piped up......he missed the real me in the bedroom
