What are the things you dislike most about JW's?
by Chariklo intop of my list has to be hypocrisy.
it runs right through, from elders downwards.
the literature and the gb are bad enough, but the bit that touches ordinary people, householders, students and ordinary rank and file is the false goodness that they put on like a raincoat.

ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!! It seems a little more a little. Many things didn't fit in my mind but about 18 years I lost faith in Jehovah, the teachings , and most everything when I could not line up the Bible I grew up with what I was learning about Gays and Lesbians . From there it been straight downward for me Gma-tired2

Not your fault it is his choicesto step down. I chose my son over shunning but I always felt different about DFs than the average. My son at 20 married because he thought it might help his sexuality differences. My heart is with you. There are many exJW men who are gay its a tough road but it is survivable and you can live a awsome life. By the way my son has a gay relationship with another man (exMorman} for 16 years. We call his partner our son-in-law. You can still pray to god for help if you still believe. There are websites that may help. If you would like I can call my son thiw evening for suggestions how to start healing. He pioneered to the end aand had a deep love for God. My love I am sending I wish I could be y ur sub mom for a while. My son iswriting a novel about a gay JW. I believe he has a lot to say. Gma-tired 2
There are more gat Elders that are hiding than you realize but it is not healthy to have to your true self. Take one day at a time

Distrust and paranoia among faders
by cedars inhi guys.
i'm interested in knowing whether any other faders out there ever find themselves feeling a little paranoid about establishing contact with other faders or former jws, just in case the unthinkable happens and things turn sour.. personally, i'm now fairly comfortable with the idea that i will be disfellowshipped or disassociated within the next year or so.
i see it as inevitable, and an essential transition in order to do what i want to do with my life.

Aussie oz you exprssed my thought. When mom was suffering Azeimers I was expected to be responsible for mom needs and told not to damage my mom religious belief. JW sibling did not drive 120 miles to visit mom during moms last two years of life. I felt used as I was working full time and was dealing with Imune disase at the same time.
Mamamo take care do what you can for your mom this will make you know you are the one living by the bible and god's word while JWs are pretending they are.

Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs
by Lady Lee inthw wts likes to play games with their statistics.
one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?
if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

I didn't make it sound quite right. My best friend and I were worried because he hadn't been heard from and at that time his body was hanging in his garage

one for sure. Former bethelite, elder who told me he was bi-sexual. He DAd himself many years ago but his health was failing and he was being shunned by his son and his daughter in law and was not allowed to see his grandchildren. My best friend who had been his first love in the 60's found hanging in his garage soon to be 4 years ago. My heart still clutches when I think of him. He was one of GB rape victims while at Bethel which I have known about for 50 years. And I wonder why I am so ANGRY
