Congratulations on your engagement, I heard that Mackelmore song "Same love" today for the first time and it's quite interesting to read your comment now. Just do your thing and don't worry about the rest, religious people tend to find something wrong with others to justify their own twisted beliefs.

So I got engaged...
by frogonmytoe in...to my boyfriend, we're going to have one of those weddings ('gay' weddings to the straights).. although my jw family know i'm gay, and not going to meetings, only one of my sisters has sussed the situation.
but i think after 3 years it's about time i told them.
especially if sometime in the future i'll turn up with a (gay) wedding ring.

Confessing Sins to Elders for forgiveness, Can Elders Forgive Sins?
by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker inif i have a addiction to cocaine, gay-porn and rock-and-roll, where does the bible indicate i need to confess my sins to the elders instead of confessing my sins here and have members pray for me?
whose brain-child was this idea?
i would rather confess my sins to you because the elders are not known for keeping their mouths shut.

James 5:14,15 is all they need but you're right. Tell them something and the whole congo knows about it before you even get home.

1st Time in 3 Years JW's call at our Door - Two 30 yr. long Time JW's
by flipper ini thought i was back on the jw radar after my jw daughter had a local elder call on me back in 2011 - but apparently not.
he obviously didn't let his elders know i lived here, no record was kept for posterity and just called my daughter telling her that her " dad has differences with the organization " because he never called back on me as he promised to talk again.
as i'm just inactive for 10 years.. so these two older jw ladys come knocking yesterday - one lady about 57 and the other lady older about 71 yrs.old ( i asked how long they had been jw's and told me they both have been in 30 years.

Outside research is only okay if you're doing it at the UN library using your NGO status to provide food at the appropriate time.

Did You Ever Wonder What Goes Thru People's Heads When They Realized You Were A Witness?
by minimus inlooking back at it, they must of thought we were really weird!.
funny story: yesterday i had to pick up meds for my mom and when they asked her date of birth, i couldn't remember!
the cvs druggist looked at me in a strange way until i mentioned, "sorry, but i was raised a jehovah's witness and i never celebrated her birthday".. she laughed, asked for my id, then whispered what her birth date was.. you gotta wonder what they must be thinking!.

I encountered a lot of awkward pauses as people digested my reason for not celebrating such and such event/day/whatever. They all thought I was freaking crazy..especially in high school, that sucked the most.

Stand For Pure Worship, what convinces you that the governing body is being used by Jehovah? Thanks.

Being a child- I was one of those super young kids that wanted to take the splash so I really didn't consider those things until I was older. As a teen I definitely convinced myself just by comparing other religions with the dubs.
If there was ever something wrong I always found a way to blame that on human imperfection. I saw the "love" and "blessings" in the congregation as a sign that we were really being led my the GB and Jehovah.
I was wrong.

The grass is not always greener
by hollowheart ini have posted only a couple of times and remain a little elusive.
it is not because i dont want to mingle but more when i want to post on a little of my story, the words i want to write seem to mass with events and moments that are so overwhelming i cannot function anymore.
i get so writing my post before my heart seems to shudder, i get a pain in my core that removes any words i want to write, and at this point i log off........ i am 31 and it seems like yesterday i was among my "best friends" in the congregation, tim, steve, and mark.
