Since being disfellowshipped, i have gotten in touch with many gay JWs and have listened to them and tried my best to help them in whatever ways i can. Its crazy because i see that i had it easy. Some of the pressure they have gone through is immense. They are really brave. For me it was a little easier.
When I was disfellowshipped, i was outed by a brother who thought he was doing the right thing. Fair enough. However he also got my brother in trouble, who has since stopped going alltogether. My dad likewise saw such hypocrisy with they JWs that he also stopped going. We often chat about the bible and its clear to me that the JWs have a VERY warped view of the bible. For example, Jesus spoke about unconditional love, yet the JWs wont even look at me, he spoke about not straining out the gnat, yet the JWs pick up on even the slightest little things. In any event, wether i feel i was wrong is totaly irrelevant. I realy dont care.
However, the brother who outed me sent a text to my brother the other day telling him that he wishes to help him with his meeting attendence. He also said that the invite also extends to my dad. HAHA! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOUT? HEHE... Firstly he understands that my brother has purposely tried to limit comms with him since causing him a bit of trouble those months ago, but also he doesnt seem to understand that my brother and dad DONT care anymore. What is he trying to do?
Its interesting though, because he had very few friends except our family, who he has since alienated. One sister who still speaks to me told me that he has become quite sanctimonious. What a very odd way to become. Its clear to me, as im sure it is with many of you, that these people generaly love to play God, judging others. The thing that gets me though is how they the bible EXPRESSELY condemsn that. Its just so baffling. They cant even see it.
Anyway... im happy, and so is my family. Thats what is important to us.
Hope you are all ok! :)
