  i never was a jw, and in many ways my interest was academic.

  i have known, and know, some jws and ex-iws and know something of (but not personally) the effects that wtbts has on people.

  the effects, imho, are not positive.

  one of the families in the hall called me last night and let another piece of the puzzle out.

  apparently there was another family that we don't even know who had gotton a phone call from these jerk off elders down here questioning them about us and what they knew.

  (anything negative).

  Label Licker I watched my son go thru something similar 20 years ago, they just keep coming at you trying to break. of course they don't want us sullying their name at Bethel because even the company men are being controlled by fear. Please take our love and remember that they can't stand it when they no longer have control over you.Bethel calls seems to be the subject of the day but unforunately there is no justice in the organization. And we sit and watch them still control members of our family. My husband and I still have JW family members on his and my side, just when we think it is over something new comes up and we have been inactive for 20+ years. Please vent to us any time you need we are the ones who have some understanding.

  Welcome KWJoe I know how hard it is to be raised a JW and realize you are gay. I am the exJw mom of a gay exJW man. Congratulaions on 17 years with your partner. Our son has been with his partner 18 years. Our son has been so much happier since he accepted himself and his two nieces love their two Uncles so much are so accepting.
