so i actually came out to my mother a few days ago.
told her how i really felt about being a jw (jehovah's witness) and how i wasn't straight.
i wasn't surprised by the disapproving response i got because really, i wasn't expecting any more.
Welcome Jennyboo,
I am glad you have come out as gay and a non witness. Well done for being true to yourself. Keep in touch with your mum, she may become more accepting over time, these revelations sometimes wake up family members.
Take care

it was recently that i found out that my dad was a paedophile while reading a post on this site (shocker to say the least), but out of something so awful a good thing has occurred.
some on here will know my backstory about how my loving jw parents disowned, but i digress.
thanks to that post i am now in contact with my sister who unbeknown to me is a member of this site and saw my response on the thread about my dad.
It's nice to hear you are reunited with your sister. I don't know the backstory. Perhaps you can put up a link.

if you just want the juicy details where i leave, i'll make disclaimer where it begins, if you just want to know what happened with the elders and organization after i realized it wasn't true, i'll mark that seperately.
we didn't do jack shit in service, or in the congregation.
maybe this was how jehovah came about?
Thanks Miss Fit for bumping this thread. I thoroughly enjoyed Jonathan's story.

i am a life long jw, but this issue i'm going through has taken the cake.. i am in a job situation that is not good.
and we were promised to us in our old hall that we would have a roof over our head for us an our animals.
so i gave notice on thursday then went to call by so-called jw friends and they backed out and claimed he now couldn't let us move in and broke the deal.
Welcome to the board Kelly,
You seem to be stuck in a right pickle with nowhere to go. I am really sorry to hear this.
Yes some JWs have no love and don't care what impact they have on others. Some just look to their own interests and still are in good standing in the congregation. Some of these are even elders.
I agree with you, there is a lack of love and this helps us wake up to the truth about WT.
I hope you get your housing situation sorted....take what help you can especially if it's from outside the congregation.
Take care

don't know how to do a link but................ video just posted on you-tube called hypocrisy@ bethel by jwfairytail.
he calls bethel several times about the happy@ bethel.
it last like an hour and a half.
I only listened to half an hour of it, he was repeating himself and it was getting boring. All the bethelites he spoke to were exemplary and he makes them look good.
I have had conversations with the service committee at Bethel about my circumstances and the were much ruder and unreasonable. This showed them in their true light to me shame I didn't record it.

Here's the link, I think he is too aggressive, but that's just me. Kate xx
alert..............alert.....breaking news .......... john cedars of jwsurvey has pranked called governing body member anthony morris iii at bethel .
over 2 minutes of pranking .
as i type he is editing the recording into a video .
Ok Simon you make a fair point. At work I don't think I could contact the MD if I wanted to.
But as a structured organisation I don't need to as all my questions are answered immediately by my colleagues or supervisor.
The problem with this cult is that there is control of information and members are not allowed to question, so we do end up further up the line to find someone culpable.
I see what you say though.

As it has been said many time on this thread, raising serious issues would have just ended with the phone down earlier. At least this way it has highlighted to the public that an impossible phone call was made and security breached. Discussing doctrine and policies was not the purpose of the call, but getting through to a GB member was the point.
Due to the fact there are so many bethel leaks, AM3, will take the incident seriously. This is the real point. ex members should be allowed to call GB members and ask them anything they like, but due to the fact it's a cult they can't. Cedars highlights this and reinforces this is a cult.

jw.org is the fastest growing media outlet in the world, our local cobe said we are going to take the media from satan's wicked world!
repent before it's too late and come back to the kingdom hall with all your loving brothers and sisters!
you won't find happiness without jehovah's organization and you know it!
JWcart, very funny, I enjoyed reading your OP and your other posts on this thread. Well done. Look forward to more satire.
