So here is the context . Been away from the grip for over 12 months. V close family me ever still in but we have moved to different parts of the country so little interaction on a day to day basis but this family member I love a lot.

I am however gay and have a partner however my partner wants me to tell my family member and stop lying. I get that but know that if that happens the religion will force my family member to shun me . My family member is older and not well.

i hate the ultimatum being given. I have managed the situation over the last 6 years and believe that the family member actually knows but will not confront the truth because of the consequences.

What do I do? I sort of know but interested if anyone else on here has experienced similar

Annoying jws

by Jrjw in

jw
friends

a 'concerned' jw in my congregation rang me earlier and said she's noticed my daughter sits miserable at the meetings and said she's a right miserable girl in general.

i said she's happy and hyper when she's not at the meetings they're just really boring and she doesn't want to be there.

apparently i'm a bad parent coz she feels that way.

Yes I have had a similar busy body who has no e taken it upon herself to try and wreck my relationship with my sister.

i have had some great advice on this forum all of which points to not letting them dictate or bully you be firm and don’t give anything away tell her to mind her own business and let you mind yours !
