Found out I'm a bit of a catalyst among my local JW youth....
by magotan inso i have been a bit of a catalyst among the jw youth in my local area.
since my family was fairly well known, me coming out so publically and seeing the reactions among the people and my subsequent forced disassociation from the church has made a lot of young people ask questions.
one of my old friends broke a lot of rules (and caught shit for it) for being really good friends with a gay guy we both mutually know.

WT wisdom - Same sex attraction does not mean you are gay
by irondork ingiven the confusion faced by gay youth in trying to navigate through a larger, hetero culture, the last thing these kids need is for a religious "authority" to come along and tell them they don't really exist.
that is exactly what the wt has done with this article at jw.org:.

Why do Jw's have to pay for CO's expenses?
by nolongerconfused inthis is something that has always bothered me!.
why do rank and file have to pay for co's do's expenses, car, health insurance, meals, etc, etc...?.
didn't the apostle paul say that all christians have to be self sufficient and work?, not depending on anyone else and cause a burden?.
