Things are heating up again!
by TimothyT inthis 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.

Do humans like confrontation?
by TimothyT ini was just thinking about this very question.. i now havnt been to meetings for a long time and i have received no calls since telling the elders to leave me alone 3 weeks ago.. the past 3 weeks have been a lovely, peaceful, enjoyable, stress-free 3 weeks - no doubts there!.
but why is it that i can feel a part of me that wants them to call me?.
why do i feel that i want someone to stir something up so i can tell them to get lost?.

Was Jesus speaking to his disciples alone or Jehovahs Witnesses too?
by TimothyT ini no longer go to meetings or on field service and am now fading.
as my life is changing rapidly, im reading certain things in the bible and questioning how the jws percieve them.. for example, i read through the book of john before and wondered whether the jws like to apply all of jesus words to his close disciples, to themselves.. is everything said in the gospels and other parts of the bible to be applied by jehovahs witnesses today or do they just cherry pick their favourites or those which support their doctrines?.
what about context?

I DONT want their help! :D
by TimothyT inhello people,.
despite the advice given here, i thought it only fair to tell the elders that are calling me to 'help me' with my sexuality, that i dont want their help!
yesterday one called.. he told me that he and another elder would like to speak with me to find out what the situation is.
