i recieved a letter from my jw friend a few days ago who encouraged me to return to the organisation.

she quoted the following scripture, and although i think its a great one, the jw view of it is twisted.. lord, whom shall we go away to?

(john 6:66-69) this is the one organization he is using" (wt 75, 9/1, p.531).

hi everyone.. jack and i decided we would go to his local kingdom hall this morning.

although i have no interest anymore in being a jw, i think its still nice to have regular bible discussions, etc, which can give you something spiritual to think about each week.

i love it and i think its damn good for you.. today, jack and i walked in, a little nervous, but were greeted and welcomed like friends.

hello people,.

despite the advice given here, i thought it only fair to tell the elders that are calling me to 'help me' with my sexuality, that i dont want their help!

yesterday one called.. he told me that he and another elder would like to speak with me to find out what the situation is.
