  What movie did you walk out on when a jw? Have you seen it since? What changed?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  ok i walked out on austin powers because i thought it was so crude and god dishonoring.

  since the fade i think it is very funny, still not a favorite but not the end of the world either.

  any movies that were a big sin are nothing now?

  Is that discrimination for not hiring straight people?

  by Iamallcool in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i do know one agency (i will not give a clue what kind of agency is it, etc...) that was run by a straight married female and her staff did not have any gay people in it and she quit to move to another state with her husband.

  the board of directors hired a gay male to head the staff, the staff slowly quit by one by one for some unknown reasons and he begin to hire gay people to work for him, i now do not see any single straight worker working for him, is that discrimination for not hiring straight people?.

  "Something amusing to get you reading my post"

  by frogonmytoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been reading threads on here for months, having not been to a meeting in about 3 years, and spending the year prior to that avoiding them.

  considering i am gay and now live with my boyfriend, i think we can consider me officially drifted, or fallen away, or whatever semantic nonsense the wts uses for specifying the manner of our waking up.

  anyway, i thought it about time i said hello and hopefully make some new friends with whom i can talk about things.

  Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On

  by MrFreeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

  i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

  i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

  Crazy JW chaperon Stories

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the jw's must not trust their members or at least don't have too much faith in them when it comes to being alone around member of the opposite sex.

  i can remember one time in particular from when i was a teenager that still makes me laugh today.. when i was younger i used to go out in service on a regular basis during the week when i had summer break.

  one time when i met for service there were only two other people that showed up.

  Can being gay live in harmony with being a christian?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have looked at the thread about gay marriages in california and thought about asking this question there, but instead of hi-jacking that one i thought i would ask it here.

  there seems to be quite a few gay people on this site and i wonder how many class themselves as christian?

  if so, can being gay live in harmony with being a christian?.

  AHA! Moments. When you were a JW; what struck you the hardest counter?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  sooner or later every jehovah's witness encounters an intelligent person with facts at their disposal who can unload something that causes a doubt.

  naturally, you defend against it.

  but, the wind has been knocked out of your belief-system however briefly.
