i feel the need to express how i feel and felt about my life as a gay man.
i was brought up from birth as a jehovahs witness.
this has played a major part in my life and it has been a real struggle to get past.
Good story but do you think if your family was any other religion that they'd have treated you any different?
To the purpose of my life story it wouldn't matter what religion we were, the story is about what actually happened to me.
Jehovahs Witnesses are one of the most uptight religions out there, they have a problem with everything. And with most other religions, you are allowed to associated with other people beyond your religion. You are 100% isolated within the JW community.

Thank you sister. OldCrow Gay Pride is always fantastic here as well.
I'm not sure what Pride is like there but here we devote and entire month to it. It starts with Pride Fair Day which includes gay people and trangender as well as our families and children, basically every different person you could expect to meet. We all have a huge fair in one of our beautiful parks. It's just amzing how large the turn out is. You know the thing I love about Pride month the most is the last day of Pride on which we have the Parade and a huge parties everywhere. At the Parade the crowd of people that come to see the march is HUGE. Its AMAZING. Us walking down the street and getting along with everyone. I just love the feeling that everyone is one. There is no need to hide the children away at home ... all the kids are on their parents shoulders and everyone is just loving the atmosphere.
I remember one year myself and my friends were all glamoured up and I had a bubble gun and all the kids were going ape over the bubbles I was blowing out this thing. Everyone is on the side lines and chatting with all sorts of sexualities. People are actually seen for the people they are and not what they do in bed. Thats my dream for everyday of the future.

There isn’t anything left to say except I wish I didn’t have to go through all of this to get where I am today.I have been through many of the same experiences you wrote about, and I used to wish they never happened too, but without them we would not be the people we are today. It sounds cliche, but all of the tragedies and trials really do build character and you can use those experiences to comfort other people who are struggling or who are healing afterward.
Heya thanks Orbiting, It's actually strange .. when i wrote that last line I deleted it and the retyped it then deleted it. I couldn't decide whether I wanted it there or not. I feel very torn about this actually because when I look back I wouldn't want to change a single thing that happened because I know those things made me who I am today and I like me. I guess the part of that sentence that I mean the most is that I hate going through the hurt of it now if that makes any sense.
But yes otherwise I feel very torn over it .. I feel both ways. Sometimes life can be so complicated and be so easy at the same time.
Do you know what I mean ?

Thank you LyinEyes.
My mum kicked me out of home 2 years after that because she said she wanted to live her own life now. I still see her from time to time but I don't feel she really deeply loves me like she once did. She got married to another JW and they were both disfellowshiped and now they are making their way back.
I guess I could be sad over mums lack of love for me but I guess going through my life the way I have I have just accepted it moved on. She knows where I am if she needs me .. and i visit her from time to time.
I am glad that you are feeling better as I know that the sickness brought on by extreme depression is somthing you wouldnt even wish on your greatest enemy.
much love ..

Thank you everyone for your comments so far .. this has been a very difficult experience for me and I have almost removed my post several times because of the difficulty.
I will allow it to remain because I feel this is somthing I have to do, no matter how exposed I feel.

Thank you for your heartfelt message Ravyn I appreciate it *hugz*
I did send a message but when it sent it was empty :/
Thank you for your words. It is difficult for me to fully express what I want to say to you, writing my story was very draining.
The things that we have had to endure because of that religion is unforgivable. If anyone is blood guilty it's Jehovah, for all of those unspeakable things done is his name.
Do me a favour and give your husband a huge huge hug and tell him you love him.
And thank you once again.
