  I'm new to the forum and desperate for support

  i will be very brief on my introduction as i need to get straight to the point.

  i was raised in the 'truth' from birth.

  i got baptized at 16 (elder dad hassled me) and managed to do the 'slow fade' at 18 (it helped that i moved 50 miles away from home).

  Hi Muse

  I'm sorry your dad's unwell and hope the op is successful. It's unlikely that the HLC will be there as they should have addressed any questions with the surgeon/anaesthetist before hand, but only if your father felt that necessary. My experience of the HLC has been that they are unobstructive, pleasant men who are well intended but hopefully you'll be saved from the irritation of their presence.

  My father died when he was 60, the day after an operation in which he lost a significant amount of blood, and while the medics never explicitly said that the loss of blood triggered his heart attack, some of our non JW family felt that it must have. My opinion is that it was his choice and his belief and he knew the consequences and now that I'm no longer a JW I would still respect his wishes.

  theres an interesting thread here:

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/14/92000/1.ashx and i thought i'd open up the discussion again in the guise of "coming-out" to jwd.

  it's taken me about 5 hours to get the language and style of this post right.

  Like you I'm from a solid JW dynasty but I didn't come out until I was 30, and while I don't regret staying in that long, good on you for realising you need out now. Can't say I envy your return to living with your parents, hiding your orientation while doing the fade wont be easy.

  Good luck, and feel free to PM me.

  Male or Female

  by love2Bworldly in

  i have been reading over the forum today and something hit me.

  because i don't look up everyone's histories, there are people i assumed were either male or female--partly based on their avatar and partly based on the type of comments they make.

  well guess what folks--i was shocked to find out i was wrong about a few people.. does anyone else out there decide that certain posters are male or female, and then find out they're wrong?

  Until tonight I thought 144001 was a woman. Apparently she's a man.

  album - sign o' the times

  song - violet the organ grinder/darling nikki/go crazy... agh there are too many!

  I was part of a Prince Trinity. We ate, slept and breathed the god, incorporated his lyrics into our TMS talks and almost combusted when we finally saw him live. Our whole lives were one 'fourth day of November.'

  Since Prince I've had only two other significant crushes, Belle & Sebastian and then Rufus Wainwright.

  Bi-Sexual

  i guess my new-found freedom of personal expression is working its way down to my kids.. i came home from a crazy day at work, ate my dinner, was loading the dishwasher, when my 13-year-old son says, .

  "mom, i have something to tell you - i'm bisexual...i've been that way for a year now.

  i still can't help but have my old jw brain at work, thinking this is not okay - kind of like, i'm an apostate with a bisexual son...what will my family say?!
