  "I won't watch HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" because Neil Patrick Harris is gay"

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  that's what my jw mother said.

  folks, there are plenty of reasons not to watch how i met your mother, but a gay actor playing a straight part is not one of them.

  i should give her a list of known gay actors and ruin a bunch of movies and t.v.

  This kind of attitude is typical in witness land and it annoys the hell out of me. I used to say that if they were not gay, they were probably fornicators anyway. That used to shut most people up.

  spirituk - as others have already said, you will be able to move on eventually even if you cannot imagine it now. Surround yourself with positive people, those you can have fun with and talk to.

  Time for this Newbie to say - Hello everyone!

  in just the several months i've been lurking here, i have benefited from many of the posters comments and viewpoints.

  this is truly a special place for the unique community that has been created here.. after years of holding off my exit from the org (that may be another post) i recently became officially out (by letter of da), but it was a very difficult process as many of you know.

  thankfully, i now have my wife (was also a witness) onboard and we support each other.

  by His Excellency in

  considering all the consequences of leaving the organization (especially the loss of family), some who have already known ttat have decided to return and continue with the flow just to keep their families and friend.. my question is if anyone here had tried it and how they have been managing living a lie constantly day-after-day?, as i am seriously considering returnning back to the full routine..

  I went back after a successful year-long fade. It was like going back to prison after having a short time of freedom. it was full on. judicial committee followed by weekly visits from the elders. Tried going on service and felt like the biggest hypocrite. Nearly two years later, I'm now well along into my second fade and it is much more difficult second time around. Already had a call from an elder this morning before work! by all means go back if you think you can believe it again but if not you're in for an unhappy ride.

  If you want to fade, London is the place to go. elders can't keep up with shepherding because of the high turnover in the congs. But if you want a more difficult fade but a more family friendly social scene I'll PM you.

  For those faking meeting attendance

  by His Excellency in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you who are still faking meeting attendance and field service, do you still greet the dubs after the sessions?.

  because for me, i am increasingly finding it difficult to showcase any fake smile and pretend everything is allright.

  in fact, i'm already getting exhausted with the hypocrisy, i just have to remain in for family reasons.

  I still go to most of the meetings as i have family in. i always arrive late and leave pretty much straight after the prayer. i try to avoid gettig caught by one or two jdubs who always ask me when im going to work with them on FS (havent been out for about 8 months). i have one or two close friends still in but the whole gay thing means i prefer to be around my "worldly" friends who accept me for who i am and with whom i dont need to pretend to be someone i am not.

  Recently came back from this.

  Really loads of apostate bashing. internet, what to do if you have doubts (i.e. do research in WT publications, ask an elder, or just shove it to one side). There was an interview with an elder who said he had personally questioned an old WT study that had said no one resurrected in the new system would be married and how he had been really upset because he loves his wife and married her forever. The long and the short of it being that he learned to let it go as everyone will be happy in the new system whatever Jehovah has planned for humans..

  The DO said how apostates are so cunning because they approach with nice soothing words like the the serpent when he spoke to Eve (he then mimicked how Satan wouldn't have said "Oi! You! Eat this! NOW!" but would have been enticing rather than abrasive..." I was suppressing a laugh because I thought he obviously hasn't been on this forum then, with some of the heated discussions going on lately haha

  But saving the best til last....One speaker in a different talk in the afternoon actually quoted/paraphrased Revelation 22:18 and said "no one should add anything to what the faithful slave says". I actually thought "you have got to be kidding me! Did he really just say that?". No one even flinched!
