For some reason the Mayo Clinic has this to say about gay men:
Gay men and other men who have sex with men may be at an increased risk of depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety.
Gay men are more likely to deal with alcohol use disorder than are other people.
... research has shown that gay men and other men who have sex with men experience intimate partner violence at a higher rate than do other men.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is available to men up to age 26. HPV is associated with anal cancer in men who have sex with men.
And the National Institutes of Health said this about gay men. :
Twenty-one percent had made a suicide plan; 12% had attempted suicide (almost half of those 12% were multiple attempters). Most who attempted suicide made their first attempt before age 25.
Don't know why he felt the need to talk about his personal issues when describing JW parents shunning. Hell, I got abandoned at age 14 for doing nothing more that trying to stay sane, while not being allowed to:
1. Play sports
2. Draw mazes for the school newspaper
3. Do anything other than stare at the walls until it was time to go to the meeting.
4. Have a girlfriend from school
5. Go to a school football game, dance, prom, etc.
Of course, it didn't help my parents cause that my teen years were directly after 1975, the biggest pile of dukey that the WT laid on kids. We were pissed that everyone just acted like a bunch of robots like nothing of any significance had occurred.
BTW, Is this thread about Homos or JW parents shunning?
the acronym uap once stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena," until december 2022. .
then the pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects.".

I had a friend of mine that was a very solid family man, wife two kids. Yes, they were JW's but of the rare down to earth kind. Anyway, he swears that as teenagers, that him and a couple friends saw Bigfoot one day on a riverbank while they were up in a tree, out around Uvalde Texas on the Frio river.
It is a mystery why Bigfoot stories always seem to pop up in UFO conversations. But, I have a theory:

I believe that when Christians go up at the rapture, they come down. I think they will push some B.S. story about how they are our space daddies. The atheists and elites will lap it up.
Richard Dawkins:
"It’s safe to assume, says Dawkins, that if we ever have contact with extraterrestrial life from outside our solar system, it will be intelligent. That’s because of the huge distances between Earth and other planets. But beyond that, this may be the only thing we have in common with aliens....Alien beings may be nothing like us – so if and when we meet, it’ll also transform our understanding of ourselves and the Universe we live in".
Compare the words of Atheist Richard Dawkins with God's Word:
And then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming— even him, whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all the deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. - 2 Thess.
Believers already know how the Alien thingy will play out.
imagine if the watchtower had their own country where they could do what they wanted.
do you think they would actually kill people who disagreed with them?
would the elders be willing to carry out the executions?what say you?.
She said that such persons were lucky that all they got was disfellowshipped and not executed.
When I hear accounts like this, I am very grateful that I made it out with my life and was able at age 40 to start over and produce two sons to carry on my name.
We were in a death cult. I beat the odds. Many others did not. May the Lord have mercy on those who paid the ultimate price.

This famous experiment illustrates why it is extremely important to chose your authority figures with great care.

@Touchof Grey - Religions, like governments, and organizatioins don't "do" anything. They are not animate beings. The people who make up such collaborations are the ones who "do" things.
It is the evil inherent in human nature that is the problem. Christ asks his collaborators to love their enemies, make peace whenever possible, use government for protection of the people (mainly military and police) , temper justice with mercy, and to do to others as you would have them do to you. Most of the freedoms we enjoy today in the West are a direct result of Christian culture and values. I am very thankful for that.
But, Watchtower doesn't really adhere to NT Christianity. They are not 'fundamentally" Christian. They cherrypick and misapply OT LAW to create a very rigid social system.
My question is whether or not people think that the elders would actually carry out real executions if asked to do so by the Governing Body if they could get away with.... like if they had their own country.
Personally, I think there is no doubt they would just like every Godless Totalitarian Leader that atheists have supported. Atheists killed hundreds of millions in the 20th century with their fundamental adherence to evolutionary tenets and comunist/fascist values. They basically exchanged what they viewed as "opiate of the masses" for poison for the masses. You have swallowed the Atheist/Watchtower lie about "religions".
Here is Watchtower's attitude on the matter according to the Insight Book:
The judicial excommunication, or disfellowshipping, of delinquents from membership and association in a community or organization. With religious societies it is a principle and a right inherent in them and is analogous to the powers of capital punishment, banishment, and exclusion from membership that are exercised by political and municipal bodies. In the congregation of God it is exercised to maintain the purity of the organization doctrinally and morally. The exercise of this power is necessary to the continued existence of the organization and particularly so the Christian congregation. The congregation must remain clean and maintain God’s favor in order to be used by him and to represent him. - Insight Book
They pretty much say here that expelling people is equivelent to execution, and that it is their "right" to administer "Capital Punishment". We all know that if ANY JW went around saying that Jesus was their personal Savior and invited others to allow Jesus in to their heart, they would be disfellowshipped faster than WT could collect cash from a KH sale to a Hare Krishna group.
From their own writings, I think it is reasonable to conclude that they would actually execute members if for example, they named Jesus as their personal Savior.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Diogenesister - the well known fantasy story written by an exjw - set after "Armageddon".
Haven't read that. Sounds very eye-opening though. Let me know if you can remember the name.

so as they say one picture is as strong as a thousand words and here you have it guys in the latest study edition of the watchtower for october 2024 that has just been posted on their website a middle aged jw window cleaner dreaming of the new system where things will get better.
why does the watchtower need to talk now about jws on minial self employed jobs?
There are far more sisters cleaning houses to help their low earning husbands make ends meet. This would have been a better picture and title.
