Thanks Blondie.
I am so ashamed about how I felt about LGTB people years ago.
i could not find a topic about this if there is one ooops.
it is hard to speak with my mother or any other witnesses about this, their response is "its ok to be gay just don't ever 'act out.
acting out = being with someone even if its a healthy consensual legal relationship between two adults its still wrong.

Jean sadly you will never be accepted by JWs.
The more time that goes by the worse it will be. the anti-gay talk amps up year after year.
As people find out about you they will shun you anyway.
GET OUT - LOVE WHO YOU WANT - LIVE YOUR LIFE!
As lin manuel miranda said: Love is Love is Love is Love is Love is LOVE!!
Be yourself and be happy!
after contemplating whether or not to attend the memorial this year i finally went.
this time last year i had been reinstated and within weeks the elders summoned me to the kh to interrogate me about my past and place of residence.
i was angry with them and lost my temper and stood up to them.
Glad you had a good time, but I am pretty sure they were nice to you because they did not know you are DFed.
i am dying of cancer.
yesterday i asked my full blown jw wife if she could snap her fingers and make me well would she do so?.
she replied, "yes.
Very sorry Sour Grapes.
I think a lot of us are waiting for that particular shoe to drop for us.
Now without Paradise - it's all a different story.
Your points are all right on!
You did make a small mistake - its about 360 million born every year, and about 55 million die.
So you need to add an extra 0 to your figures.
Makes your points even worse for the all loving doG they worship.
i salute you.
many of you, like me, are probably under enormous emotional pressure, whether from a lingering false sense of guilt from your indoctrination, whether from "invitations," and assumptions that you'll naturally be coming, or whether from outright emotional blackmail, even begging and pleading.
i am thinking of you whoever you are, all of you, even though i don't know you in person.
Last memorial (2016) was my last meeting. I am not changing that now.
just reading a posting about relive a day for one year of your live... .
getting older, i am so sad thinking about years ago and missing my family members.
am i the only one believing they would never die?.
My mom became a JW when we were little kids, and we followed.
My father was opposed to any of us being JWs.
My dad died before I woke up, and a day doesn't go by that I don't wish I could tell him he was RIGHT all along, and that I am sorry.
the following is from a facebook post and..maybe i am missing something, but none of these items disprove them being in a cult.
jehovah's witnesses are often mistaken to be something else.
some say it a secret cult while others believe something else.......i'm very proud to tell you my readers that i'm one of jehovah's witnesses.. below are 17 facts that shows jehovah's witness is not a cult..... 1. there are currently about 8 million jehovah's witnesses around the world.. 2. an average of over 800 people become jehovah's witnesses daily.. 3. we keep coming to your doors even though we have regular jobs and family like you because we are admonished to do so by jesus christ.. 4. we do not participate in wars and for this reason more than 1600 jehovah's witnesses were killed by hitler.. 5. there are currently over 300 jehovah's witnesses in prison in south korea and egypt because they refused to stop preaching or enlist in the military.. 6. we don't salute the flag or say national anthems because we pledge our allegiance only to god.. 7. yes we have fun and party too so don't get that twisted.. 8. not many of us know the name of the president of our headquarters because we do not pay any reference to him he is a fellow servant of god just like the rest of us are.. 9. you earn the privilege of becoming a jehovah's witness.
WOW the STUPID Topics just keep coming?
Has JW headquarters assigned someone to start doing this?
so many evolutionist's on this forum are upset at the terror attacks in europe such as recently in sweden.
it is just a logical step in the evolution of the human race.
should you not rather be celebrating the great changes taking place right before your eyes and constructing detailed explanations of the cell structure and dna development in the human brain.. you can't eat your cake and still have it.
This has to be the stupidest topic ever. Go back to church dude.

"your defense?
be determined to stick to jehovah’s organization and loyally support the leadership he provides—no matter what imperfections may surface.
Not sure if anyone actually posted the source?
Page 28 (last paragraph): Keep in mind that Satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well. Why? Because propaganda “is likely to be most effective,” says one source, “if people . . . are discouraged from thinking critically.” (Media and Society in the Twentieth Century)
