Come on JG, you can do better than that. You've raised the fears of what might happen next if same sex partnerships are given equal status, what are those fears? Is it just about tax?

Welcome to JWD Fishbulb (and all the other homos that have popped out recently, is there something in the water?!) I'm sure the site will help you process through some of your residual hangups. My partner's had to become a bit of a virtual JW and occasionally for a laugh me and my other exJW pals test his knowledge - he's really quite good but the mistakes are hilarious!

who knows what's next?
JG, tell me, what is next? We have civil partnerships here and while there's a limited call for marriage I'm unaware of anything next on the marriage horizon and the sky hasn't fallen down across European countries that have introduced similar legislation. What's different about the States, what malign groups lurk in your communities that will bring the end of civilisation?

Trust me one day America will get with the times
the slippery slope arguement that was mentioned by someone earlier never ceases to amuse me. Polygamy and marrying your pet don't seem to have been percieved as future unions in the UK, but in America... what's with you guys?!

How many left - then went back?
by AK - Jeff ini became 'weak' in the early 80's after being treated badly by a body of elders.
i had not sinned.
quite the opposite.

I resigned as an elder in April 2001 and immediately stopped attending meetings but went back 6 months later to see if a fresh look at it would change my mind. Within a fortnight I knew it was all nonsense but I sweated it out for 6 months to make sure. That last six months must have really pissed the elders off - I grew a beard, dyed my hair, shaved my head, wore vintage trash to the meetings, refused to answer, and read the bible through most of the meetings and told everybody what was on my mind. No wonder they marked me.

Go, be breezy and nice, smiles all round, press flesh - like a hybrid politician/JW and engage no one in meaningful conversation. Leave early.

You're right Peppermint, I withdraw my comments. His use of language that minorities have found offensive must surely be down to ignorance on his part. And it's that classic type of philandering Tory, without a track record of implemeting meaningful change that is now mayor. I don't "like" Ken, but he sure as hell had a lot more going for him.

I can’t stand Brown. Scottish git…….
One of many.
Nice to see a racist, bigoted homophobe leading London. Soon the rest of the Bullingdon Club will be ruling the country. I'm not a Nationalist but I'd certainly consider it rather than a return to Tory rule.

Jw upbringing and retarded social growth.
by AK - Jeff ini was raised a jw, by an inactive jw mom.
looking back, and reflection on my childhood, causes me to wonder.. i honestly did not miss the holidays, for example.
i never had them, so nothing was taken away in that regard.

Like Mulan, it certainly wasn't my experience, and my partner thinks that most exJWs he meets are socially high functioning.
Not that everyone was socially adept in the congregation, but thinkig of my peers who weren't, they were the product of parents (recent converts) who were socially inept and they possibly allowed their faith to exacerbate it in their kids.
