I'm Scared
by FriendlyFellaAL inbefore i get started on what i'm afraid will be a lengthy post, i just want to say a few things.
this may not be the appropriate forum for me to post what i need to say, but i hope that all of you will be understanding and supportive of how i feel.
i've been lurking here for quite some time and have even been brave enough to make a few posts, so i feel somewhat comfortable expressing this here.. perhaps i should discuss my background a bit before getting to the heart of the matter so you all can understand where i'm coming from.. i am a late 20-something former jw, never disassociated myself but completely stopped attending meetings about four or five years ago.

Nature/nurture in homosexuality
by Introspection ini wanted to ask the gay and lesbian members of the board about the whole nature and nurture issue with homosexuality.
i suppose when you're looking at things this way it's usually a matter of how the two interact, and not so much that it's x% or all of one or the other.
but i guess some practical questions are, did you become gay or was it a matter of realizing you were gay all your life?

INSTINCT
by silentlambs ini recently watched a movie called instinct.
it starred anthony hopkins and told the story about a man who went to the wild to live with the gorillas.
while the premise may have seemed farfetched, the movie offered an insight i had not thought of till i saw how the story was told.

Kingdom Melodies on Morpheus?
by FriendlyFellaAL ini was just going through some of the messages on the board and found some hilarious song parodies.
simon's version of "from house to house" in particular had me in stitches.
all of this got me to thinking about some of the kingdom melodies that i did actually enjoy while still a jw and decided to look for some of them through morpheus.

Why did you get baptized?
by NoLongerAjw inwas it for love of the kingdom hall and jehovah?
