This evening my dad came into my room and told me that this week he is going to disassociate himself. He is totaly fed up with the organisation.
Recently a brother in our hall snitched on my brother and I for supposed wrongdoings (myself for being gay), and the elders have been badgering our family for a few weeks now. We are all tired of it. My dad, who has been a JW for over 20 years, serving as an elder for 10 of them, has lost it! He believes, quite rightly too, that if he disassociates himself, they will leave him alone. How ironic.
I am just considering the impact that this will have on all the brothers I know in the congregation. My dad is a wonderful man and the news will come as an upsetting shock to many. But, it gives me the free will to be entirely honest with other JWs without them telling my dad about my situation. I welcome it! Iv had enough of withholding my feelings from other JW's.
I am now feeling INVINCIBLE in terms of what the JWs can do to me. I dont care what they know about me anymore.
Thanks for everyones support over the past few months on this forum.
