As a mother of a df gay son , it is unconcivable for my husband and me to shun our son, it is so unĺoving , he goes through so many emotions and situations and he needs us, I can't imagine pushing him aside and treating him that way, at the meeting this week my husband and I just looked at each other 😐 (inconceivable )

Land of the living dead
by hoser inone of my children got disfellowshipped recently.
i was worried about that some of my jw friends and jw relatives would mention it to me and it would make for awkward conversation as i am glad that he is out.
i went to a jw family gathering.

Hoser, I also have a son that's desfellowshiped , no one ever asked for him or bring him up, I always mention something like he's doing well in school or something like he helps me caring for my aged mother , and 😑 it's like he doesn't exist , so sad

This is so awful , can't imagine ever shunning my child , my son was dfd when he had just turned 18, he was so conflicted with being gay, hated himself for it all I can do is love him no matter what, my husband and I will be there for him always ,

Should I get babtized?
by BlackWolf ini know this sounds like a ridiculous question but i was talking with my mom in the car today and of course we got on the topic of getting babtized again.
she told me that jehovah holds me accountable for my sins regardless of wether i am babtized or not so i have no reason to be holding back because it won't change anything.
my parents are the type of super strict jw who will shun you just for not being a witness.

Blackwolf; if I knew then what I know now, I would have never encouraged my son to get baptized , he wanted to my husband was an elder my other son baptized so he did also , he was 17 got df at 18, now every person he grew up with doesn't even acknowledge him he's moving on but I see his pain every day I tell him he can have a relationship with God, and that Jehovah knows his heart there are so many 20 some things that haven't got baptized and they associate with the congregation and just because my son got baptized made a mistake I feel I contributed to his sadness now because should have told him no don't get baptized, that's just my opinion . -

It's horrible, my son is df. and can see how awful it is, everyone he's known and grew up with can not say hi to him and completely ignore him, he's only 22 I tell him God loves him and be there for him always , sometimes he says if I want to invite the "friends " over he will leave, I tell him I would a million times rather hang out with you than anyone at kh, it's very cruel thing, shunning I hate it! -

Suicide Prevention Counseling
by MrCellophane inin the 1980's when i was an elder, i don't remember the society providing any guidance to elders on suicide prevention counseling.
i realize much has changed since then.
can any current/recent elders update me on what the current position of the local elders would be if approached by someone in the congregation contemplating suicide and seeking help?.

When my son was dfd a few years ago , he was so depressed , as it was he was still dealing with the judicial committee asking him all kinds of questions , my son is gay, he had just turned 18, been in the same cong.since he was 4, most of the elders saw him grow up, one night he was so down he called suicide hot line , I said to myself I'm going to let this elder know, he was always very nice and loving but I don't know, I cried at kh so helpless pleading with him if he can come over not as an elder but a friend , (my son liked him too because he was good friends with his kids) he never came , or followed up with me or anything , I was soo sad I spoke to my Dr about my son she said if there was a pastor at my church that can guide him if she only knew,to make a long story short the love and support I received was here my dear friends I met wonderful people who had struggled and are doing better, their advice, love compassion to someone they never met, my son is doing better now he still some bad days but I remind him Jehovahs loves him and He has the final say not the elders.
