I now have a gay boyfriend! Disfellowship me!
by TimothyT ini cant believe how amazing i now feel as opposed to how aweful my life was but 4 months ago.. after some careful consideration, i decided to be gay despite being a jw.. the moment i chose this course, my life became so positive and i noticeably felt happy again.. 3 months ago i met a lovely man who took an interest in me.
one week ago we decided it was time to become boyfriends.. well, i feel incredible.
all i can say is that this course of life based on my being true to myself, despite the fact that it contradicts what i have been brought up to believe, has made life worth living again.. despite being gay, and slowly coming out to those who matter to me, i also have come to realise how flawed this organisation is anyway.. im a keen bible student but i dont see the organisations claim to authority.. to be honest, ill be glad to get out of it and start living my life as happily as i can whilst still trying my best to serve god.. thanks to those who supported me and of course to my boyfriend 'jackal' who joined this forum in order to understand what has made up my entire upbringing!.

I talked the first time in 20 years to a non-JW and need a divorce...
by Intel inthis is very difficult to write (forgive me for any spelling mistake, i am not a native english speaker).. i cannot tell my complete story on this board - i eventually will, once i have broken the last "link in the chain" that has kept me captive to the borg.
i can't tell my story, because.....basically i will be known.....as a more or less "famous" jw..... i have been lurking this site for many years, wrote here under another name - this eventually was found out and i had to do "damage containment".
i had to "go back" and tow the party line....all my family (extended and close) are witnesses, all my "friends" and even work & business relationships are jw.

The ties that keep you in chains
by dgp ini am under the impression that one of the worst aspects of life as a jehovah's witness is that every new family and friendship tie you make might become a chain if you ever want out.. i was never a jw and therefore don't have the mindset, but, being who i am, i find that i would not want to create any ties with the witness community.
but it would feel to me that every new friend i made, and every relative, would come at the price of their eventually becoming your worst enemies.. let's use marriage as an example.
i would want a woman by my side, to share my life; but then i would also feel that i would need to find her among the witnesses only; my relationship with her would need to be approved by others; i would not be free to actually get to meet her before we married; once we married, she'd be someone who would know me intimately and could turn me in to the elders; and, if, unfortunately, my relationship didn't work, i would need to sleep with someone else and be disfellowshipped in order to be able to divorce her.

why would jehovah need to "rest" in the first place? july 15, 2011 WT
by oompa inthe july 15 wt mentioned how god is still resting...confident that his plan is being worked out.
for some reason i had never thought about why the hell god would even need or want a "rest day"....i mean for crying out loud according wt god only created one thing....da baby jesus.
how boring to let him create everything else.
