A few years ago when it became known that another Witness family had a gay son, my mother said she would rather I was dead than gay. This was obviously a bit of a dart to the heart for me and when I eventually left the JWs and came out I did ask her if she'd rather I were dead. Initially the answer was yes, but as time has passed she doesn't think that but thinks I should enjoy my life to the max as I'll soon be destroyed. She probably figures I wouldn't get a resurrection now anyway as I've sinned against the holy spirit. lol.

I would prefer my children to die than to have them Df'd
by lilyflor ini was still in the "troof" a couple of years ago when my mom said that to my face, in front of my husband no less.. he was a jw as well, he couldn't believe it.
my reply was "well i will give my life to save my children and if god sees fit to punish me for that - that's his choice".

one could use this same argument about siblings getting married or for that matter a parent their child.
Is this a problem in Illinois? Sheesh!
Your abhorrence of seeing sexualised males would indicate that you are inured to the sexualised nature of regular TV/cinema and advertsing that kids are exposed to continually. But as it's heterosexual it's OK. Should it be? This absolute fear of sexuality that America has is somewhat negated by its huge porn industry, but confusing to us across the Pond nonetheless.

Paul
Scotsman
Edinburgh, Scotland here. Is that further away than Mattnoel?
No - if he is south of you (which he is) then he will be further away according to the flight plans I've flown from LHR to LAX - all backed up by great circle geometry as well. LOLNerd!

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?!
