  Skeptic and Nickey, thanks so much for your thoughtful and kind words on this post, they meant alot to me. Also for the PMs sent (Tink et al!), and from lots others who gave some good advice.

  Some other posters here can be a bit "rabid" at times, and that of course is entirely there own perogative. I don't really mind, often I try and count to ten, before I reply, or sometimes just skip over. Its there choice to reply as they see fit, I think you can "see" alot about someone by the tone they adopt, and words they choose, and imho these are best avoided, in the same way as you would in life.

  Thanks again anyway. Scott

  about seven weeks ago i posted here for the first time.

  in that post i said i'd like to be reinstated but felt it likely wouldn't happen because the shunning was too much for me.

  well, my prayers have been answered and i am reinstated.

  Minimus....... how can being gay and JW ever be reconciled|? Oh my, that would take a whole 'nother thread!!

  Well my stradegy has been for the last 10-15 years to stay away, attend the Memorial, conventions and odd meeting. I'm viewed as inactive of course. I've given up any relationships I've had in the mean time, but I'm not alone, I'm lucky to have such a loving family with nieces and nephews., and a great brother and sister. And my mum is just out of this world.

  At night I can go out with my mates, and many good friends who know the "whole situation" about me, that is truly a godsend. They don't judge, only accept me for what I am. Going back (or F--King off back, as someone helpfully said!) to the KH would be more difficult for me at this time, though I don't rule it out. I've messed up once, and I don't want to go back and do it a second time. Have I lived in and out? Yes I have. Gawd knows sometimes my next move. But I will stick with my original post thread title. Does that make sense??

  PurpleV, Ask the elderly in the congregation? From what I saw at the Memorial, and more recently at the district convention, there they were. At the local KH, people I remember as a kid, now well old in their 70's and 80's and even 90's. You know what, I didn't see them complaining that the new system hadn't arrived in 1975 or any time since, what I did see was older faithful brothers and sisters still there. Funny you should bring the issue up. My sister who's been inactive far longer than me and is alot more critical said to me after the Memorial, "I almost hope that the new system will come soon for those ones who have served so faithfully for all this time" She remebered like me all those older ones that still were there. Thanks for reminding me.

  and I certainly don't start these threads to "troll"........ what on earth would I have to gain by or from that? I've given this forum most of what I am. Where I am in respects to my JW stand, where I am in my life, I even posted a pic of me, and more so even admitted that I'm gay. How much more do you need to know about a person to realise that they're not "trolling" but just trying to express how they feel? Is this not allowed here? I've posted so many times about being able to not follow a pack mentality that can sometimes happen here if the party line doesn't fit, and I swear I won't say it anymore. But for Goodness sake, please see, that not all of us are trolls, or out to discredit what you all may feel. Does it really hurt that much that someone may still believe the JWs/Wt have the truth still?? Just read and move on if it cuts so bad.

  Just listen for once..... you were once where I am. Realise there will always be 2 sides. (I'll shut-up now)

  Minimus......

  I'm not sure about only one thing you say, and that is the 2 witness policy on paedophile issues. Every child should be believed if they make a claim of molestation. I hate the thought of that with all my being, that a child or indeed person needs 2 people to verify it. To have the courage to speak up takes a lot of courage and confidence that might be lacking from someone who is so hurt. I should know this more than most. The Society has never imho ever discouraged those ones to go directly to the authorities. In the instances that they may have, then they deserve every condemnation, and they deserve it. I read that some of the elders in the Panorama programme were disfellowshipped. (www.bbc.co.uk/panorama)

  As to the rest you say, yes I do believe JWs have the truth, even to regards the blood issue. I think they have made many announcements prematurely about the "end of this system" don't you think I've surfed the internet looking as well? Its only my opinion, but I still think they have the truth as far as it is revealed up until this point in time, through the FDS. Don't get narked, its just my opinion..
