I think Jehovah and Jesus would be more compassionate towards trans woman than the organization on earth.

At the moment I feel that the heavenly Kingdom is way more advanced than their earthlings.

Thank-you. I hope I can provide some theological argument that may shift the organization slightly. I'm enjoying the meetings, but know that I probably can't preach or teach for some time until their is a shift. maybe my theological argument will be my share

My bible teachers went over the Deuteronomy 22:5 verse.
I tried showing them a book "The Transsexual and the Cross: Disproving the myth that transsexuality is a sin' by Katie Leon (2013). They weren't interested because it was secular and had the cross in the title. I completely get that because I've almost completed the first "What does the bible teach" book. I'm not sure how I can present a theological argument, based on the bible. They did read my prayer, which was great.
I got the deep sense that I would need to become male again, but that will never happen in this system.
I don't want to leave. The Congregation are lovely and love me, and I feel a sense of connection and happiness that I haven't felt in a long time.
I think this is going to be very challenging for the Witnesses to deal with.

Hi
I started studying with Witnesses about 21 months ago. Started going to meetings in March 2017, went to the Memorial and attended my first Convention. I love it. I love studying and learning about Jehovah. I believe in him so much now, but I'm a trans woman, having GRS 12 years ago and starting hormones 20 years ago. The Congregation found out a week ago. Meeting with the Elders soon, but feel that I should leave and I just feel so sad now.
