The WT is an expert at being a huge bigot, I'd say.

That's what really baffles me. These Witnesses will not see violent films, but have no problem with all the Jehovah sanctioned violence in the Bible.

Does he not even realize how much violent accounts there are in the Bible? Although, this type of thinking shouldn't surprise me.

Why can't I just leave?

by Trapped in JW land in

some of you may know my situation.

i'm still going to meetings, but i am a closet apostate and homosexual i. only keep going to meetings to please my family and some friends.

i guess i could tell my mom i no longer want to be a jehovah's witness and stop going to meetings, but i'm too scared to do it.

only keep going to meetings to please my family and some friends. I guess I could tell my Mom I no longer want to be a Jehovah's Witness and stop going to meetings, but I'm too scared to do it. I don't want to upset my Mom and Sister and my JW"friends".

I'm curently attending a community college and I plan on transfering to a university by next fall. I was intially thinking of communiting to the school because it's only a half hour away, but I'm thinking of living on campus. I think then it will be easier to leave the cult and be free to live my own life.

I don't know if I shoud wait to tranfer to that university to leave the cult, or do it sooner. I was dating a guy secretly about a year ago, but he broke up with me because of me not being out. Now I'm dating another guy and I'm afraid he'll do the same, even though he says he understands my struggle(my ex said the same thing at first). That's why I just want to leave sooner so I don't so I don't have to be so secretive. I want a relationship but, it's hard to have one while still bein gin the cult. I very afraid to leave because of what I'll lose, but I just want to happy.

Who was the best batman?

by FL_Panthers in

it seems that batman has been portrayed by more actors than any other superhero.. who do you think has played the best in the role of bruce wayne/batman?.

Trapped in JW land

Christian Bale was good as Bruce Wayne, but not so good as Batman. When he talked it sounded like he had throat cancer.

Any gay exJW's?

by Trapped in JW land in

jw
friends

was just wondering how many gay exjw's were on this site, and how did you deal with being in this organization?

and also, how did you end up leaving?.

Trapped in JW land

It would be nice to join those gay ex-jw groups. However, I couldn't joint them because I'm still physically in the cult. Couldn't risk any friends or family seeing it.

KM Oct 2014 - Homosexuality (week of Oct 13th)

by Splash in

it would be interesting to have some present (stonewall?

) at these meetings to witness and record talk number three on the tms.. talk 3 - "what the bible says about homosexuality" (reasoning book p.368-369).

the reasoning book tells us in part:.

Trapped in JW land

Ugh. There goes the WBTS spewing hate against homosexuality again. Being gay is so immoral right? But a God who (according to JW's) is going to destroy more than half the world's population (including children) is moral? Anyone see the sense in that?
