Josh,What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.Think of your experience as a crash course in life. You got lucky. You learned who your real friends were in an abbreviated time period. It takes most people well into their 30's or 40's to figure out who they are and who their friends are.When I moved away from Upstate NY, I quite my job with MetLife (over 10 years ago). I had been there almost 4 years. I had a good buddy who was gay. (I was quite a JW at the time). I'll never forget the day I left he came to my desk crying and admitted he was gay. I told him I knew all along, and it didn't bother me. He said, "I thought you were a JW and everyone knows they hate gays." I mumbled some answer about hating the sin, loving the sinner (as though it's a sin in the first place.)You should know that not all JWs have the hardline stance against gays the way the sexually repressed / everything sexual is a sin Governing Body has. They are just afraid to openly support their gay bros and sis.What a shame.Glad you found this site, glad you came out. You deserve to be happy.LisaCouldn't care less what 2 consenting adults do, Class
