I'm a 41 year old mother of three. (and for the sake of argument, disfellowshipped for over 1 1/2 yrs now) I'm about 99% sure my 20 year old son is gay. I've point blank asked him 3 times, he denies it although even though I assure him I love HIM no matter what.
I'm sure he struggles because he was raised a witness, but never baptized. He left the 'truth' when he was about 17 and began attending another 'church'. It crushed me (I was still active myself). But eventually, over these past two years, I have become FAR less judgemental (I wasn't very judgemental to begin with) of others. I think he went to the church because he felt more accepted and more loved from them.
My BIGGEST complaint with JW's is: How can they think that they are the ONLY ones whom God blesses and will give life in His new order?
It's the exclusivity of their beliefs.
...back to my son. He still lives at home with me and my other two children. I love him very much but am disappointed that he probably won't give me grandchildren. This is even more disconcerting because he's such a handsome 'kid' (models part-time). He also seems to take advantage of my kindness living here at home. (sometimes I think I'm a floor mat to him, but it's my fault for putting up with it.)
I never felt 'unconditional love' from my JW parents, so I was bound and determined to give my children such love.
Well, just some random thoughts.
