Hey everyone...

Well it's been a week since I last checked the site and I'm amazed at how many people have posted on here.. thank you all so mcuh. it's unreal, and for your emails too.

Still havent heard from mum.. well. I guess I'm going to just let her stew in her choices and religion. I've reached a point where I've realised that throughout life I've tackled things alone.. this is just another hurdle which I'll get over and use in my favor to shine.

One of the things that really gets me tho, is the fact that she's put that religion before me... her own son. Surely any true religion would insist that your loved ones must come first.

I'm angry at Watchtower.. if anybody reads this who works and or still believes in that cult.. rest assured you are in decline and your brainwashing antics will be stopped. You've managed to come between a son and a mother.... I hope you're happy.... and you call yourself the truth hey?

To all those who have had similar experiences and who are going through tough times.... lets stick together.... if we become friends.... thats the best possible outcome for us all.

Big Aussie pat on the back!!

Hey there, thanks for that... well I think a lot of people are not educated... being gay isn't a choice.... I absolutely did NOT wake up on a MOnday morning and think "I'll be gay from today!" why would I choose to ruin my life and go thro so much pain.. and cause others so much pain?

Gay people are born that way... just like my hair is brown!, So approving of gay people shouldnt really be an issue hey?!

Much respect for your comments tho, I'm completely grateful for your time and I'll keep you posted on what if anything happens with mum

HI there nowfree thanks so much for your advice, glad to hear that I'm not alone when it comes to feeling like I dislike the religion. Rest assured.. when mum told me about her descision to become a JW, as went along to meetings, read the books, studied with her as that I could understand it all.

I'm not sure that a religion that puts god before your own flesh and blood is a good thing. Being a TV Producer and radio host, to the best of my power... I will do all I can to create negative news about this scenarro.

Feel free to email me mate.

Many warm regards

Walt

Thaks for that... yeah.. she did say that come Armagedon I'll be banished like the rest of them.. or something along those lines.... it's tough, me and mum had such an amazing friendship and bond.. but she's NEVER accepted and said she never will fall into that trap.. it's so tough hey?!

My name is Walt COllins, I'm a 23 guy in Melbourne, Australia, migrated from the UK 4 years ago.
I've been going through some pain lately, my mother (still in the
UK) and I have really had a rough period and she's decided to put
her religion before me and after many heated conversations, we are now no longer in contact.

She's a Jehova's Witness... and classes my homosexuality alongside
acts of beastiality, I go against god's law. bla bla bla.
For 8 years she has known about me and we've had an agreement not
to discuss it and that I should shelter her from that part of my life.
She was planning a visit to Melbourne but made it quite clear that
I have to put on hold any links to my 'gayness' whilst shes here,
including Leon (my partner of 2 years) and his family. She's written
a 6 page religious crap letter to Leon's mum (who is Catholic yet
has been amazing about the whole thing) saying how could she possibly
condone our relationship... it's a nightmare.

This letter is damning, it's hurtful and it's infuriating. I told
it';s best that she doenst come for a visit here. I've also told
her that for 8 years I've accepted her religion and understood her
recent decisions to convert to this cult but now no longer will
I stand back and let her write and speak about her own son like
this. I made it clear that I will hold a personal mission to create
bad publicity against Jehovas Witnesses and that I have taken an
active descision to no longer accept her religion. She told me that
I will go to hell like the rest of them.. and that she no longer
wants to hear from me...... this is so hurtful and I'm really devastated...
theres more too it but I can't possible begin to write about it..
it'd take forever..... I guess the reason I'm writing to you is
for a bit of guidance or advice as to what to do... is it too harsh
for me to finally stand up for my sexuality.. or should I respect
the choices my mum has made and her views?

Also, I want people to know about the brainwashing views and acts
of this religion.. and want to create some publicity in the UK about
all of this..... there's so much anger inside of me.. I'm being eaten alive by all of this.

It's all happened today.. on my birthday and I feel like shit...if
I had a gun I'd bloody well like to end it all today.

I'm a normal guy, an ambitious TV producer, not 'gay' acting, just
a regular guy who was born differently in terms of sexual orientation...
I play Aussie rules footy... ya cant get much more butch than that!!!!!!!

So.. sorry to write with such a miserable email... but I thought
you may understand and have experience on these issues.

Looking forward to hearing from you with any advice

Warm regards'
