  this is my first post on this site, and i feel very liberated and comfortable, so i have a feeling that this d/b may be a good thing for me.

  my story (although to my "worldly" support group it sounds strange) is alot like many of yours.

  i was raised a witness, altough my parents have been inactive as long as i can remember.

  Thanks Blondie, do you know which KM? Was it in the last couple of months or so? Is there a thread already started on this? I did a search and couldn't find anything.

  I'd like someone to please seriously explain this as well.

  I've seen a few remarks and jokes made about this around here but I don't understand what you guys are talking about. I haven't heard of anything having to do with preaching for 15 minutes. Did I miss something? You guys must have talked about it on some weekend I couldn't come in to the forum.

  Will someone kindly explain it to me please?

  SS,

  Quite frankly I'm worried about him. The last time I talked to him, he was a bit down and I haven't heard from him since.

  If anyone knows anything please let us know! He gave me his cell number once and I have lost it! I hope he is ok.

  why disfellowship homosexuals . . .

  by raven101 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  why does the organization disfellowship homosexuals when tho homosexuality is against 'biblical' mores it is not illegal and it is an issue involving consenting adults .

  .. whereas pedophilia is not only illegal and immoral by societal and biblical standards but is an act of the worst kind of assault inflicted on an innocent helpless child by an accountable adult?.

  just wondering... raven101.

  Joel,

  I think your #1 should read: JWs do not disfellowship homosexuals for being homosexuals but they DF you for living as a homosexual. IE: You can never have any kind of romantic relationship with someone of the same sex, you can never date someone of the same sex or get married to someone of the same sex.

  This has recently happened to a good friend of mine. She was df'd simply because she had to be true to herself and not live her life as something she is not. She is a homosexual and one elder on her JC told her that the problem wasn't that she is homosexual but that she acted on those feelings.

  They expect anyone that is homosexual to live a lie, to live as a heterosexual or single forever otherwise be disfellowshiped.
