I'm ex JW and gay, I have chosen to be myself with no regrets. You might think I was not fellow believer. In fact I spent 18 years in organization. I still believe in God, but since I was disfellowshiped my life changed for good. All fears gone. I'm genuine now and I'm blessed for it. Never felt I was abandoned by God. Life carries on and life is a wonderful adventure!!!

Exjw and gay. I remember some brothers secretly laughing and talking behind me because of my feminine behavior which I constantly try to get rid off. It was hard trying to be someone you're really not just to gain their approval. Despite being gay, I managed to be a ministerial servant because I know I genuinely love God and wanted to serve him. There had been times I feel alone and found comfort knowing the Jehovah understands me more than anyone else , even more than I understand myself. There had been many times I liked someone secretly, (even the ones that I taught about the bible and visited regularly, but I just had to hide my feelings everytime.) Some of them could even notice that I liked them and that I am giving them special treatment. But at that time, I was more sincere of teaching them and just thought I appreciate them for accepting the truth and giving their time to study the bible with me. (That was all) I feel jealous that everyone can love who they liked but not me. They can marry who they love but not me. There was a sister who fell in love with me but I just couldnt love her back, because I know deep inside I am gay. Despite not loving her back, I felt heartbroken when she fell inlove with someone and got married with him. I know I am not romantically involved with her, but she was the only one who liked me even knowing who I really am. I commited suicide because of depression and thinking that I would never be happy like everyone else. But my life was saved by my father who ran me to the hospital after poisoning myself by swallowing about 1 liter of gasoline. I was disfellowshipped after it, they said the reason was for trying to take my own life away. And that I could come back after 1 year. I repented and attended meetings regularly despite everyone shunning me. I did it for over a year but due to shame I did attend meetings regularly at another congregation. After a year of regularly attending, one of the elders in the congregation I am attending to, gave me an approval that I could already send a letter to request to my original elders to reinstate me. So I did. My father as well as my brothers and friends were very excited and I know they wanted me back. Unfortunately, they ignored my letter. The local elder who told me to write a letter, comforted me saying I could try again after a month. Which I did. For another 2 months. Unfortunately they kept ignoring me. Which really hurt my feelings. I think they don't want me because I am gay. It was in my fourth letter that I no longer asked for them to reinstate me, but said goodbye and told them that my letter was written with tears along with prayers to Jehovah that I am already leaving and giving up the religion. It was dissapointing how God taught us to be forgiving and not let the sun set before we forgive but not feeling forgiven after a year of repenting. Until now, 12 years have passed, I still sttuggle with the result of rejection and that it affected my entire life and outviews of things.

You made the right decision to get out of that cult no matter the cost. My feelings towards Jehovah's Witnesses are similar to my feelings towards Scientologists: I have no respect for either of those cults and would like to see them dissolved. THESE ARE NOT RELIGIONS, THEY ARE CULTS. By the way, Iove Budapest and have been there 8 times. Budapest nagyon szép város!

But now i suppose you will have to live your best life and have friends, a lover, a job, a home. I hope maybe one day your mother would one day reconcile with you (dont get your hopes up) but yeah.. its a tough story. GOD IS LOVE, religion is not. They are lost not you. Inspiring story xx

He’ll be an inspiration for a lot of lgbtq JW’s, it’s never easy to live an authentic life when your threatened with shunning and judgment for your truth. As a gay ex JW myself, I try not to have resentment for the harm the leaders of the organisation and people in it have done. I remind myself that current JW’s are victims also, (although they are blissfully unaware). Imagine the depression that comes with denying who you are, for the acceptance of people who would cast you out so coldly. True love is NEVER conditional!

What a lovely guy. What a shame that his mother has been so brainwashed. Please never be guilty about being who you are nor guilty because you cannot fulfill your parent's unrealistic wants. One thing to remember - none of us asked to be born and those who brought us here must learn that they have no right to rule us when we're adults. No right ! Love your mother and accept that she knows no better because she hasn't experienced what you have experienced. You can be there for her when she asks for your help but you can't change her no more than she can change you. God go with you in your life as your authentic self.

Let me say this. One I congratulate you for living true to yourself. It's not easy. But it's easy for Christians non jw. Coz today gays are ordained in churches becoming ministers of God. Does that change the Bible principles? I love witnesses and when I realized that I am gay I decided to postpone baptism to a later age so that my sexual urges could diminish with age as I told myself so to speak. Wah! It did not happen. I am 53 this October and still tied in it. Feelings for women is zero. I associate with other gays who are very busy with their churches and we do everything. I tell them to wait for destruction. What should we do.

YOU CAN NOT BE GAY AND STILL BE A JEHOVAH WITNESS. THATS LIKE ALCAPONE SAYING HE IS A JEHOVAH WITNESS, OR A MEMBER OF HAMAS OR ISIS SAYING THEY ARE A JEHOVAH WITNESS. 1 CORINTHIANS 6 verse 9 says, " DO YOU NOT KNOW, THAT THE UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? DO NOT BE DECEIVED,( IN other words, don't let anybody fool you) NEITHER FORNICATORS, NOR IDOLATORS, NOR ADULTERORS, NOR Homosexuals, NOR SODOMITES, NOR THIEVES NOR DRUNKARDS WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM.. IT IS SIMPLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. So why would JEHOVAH WITNESSES encourage any such person among them to contaminate the congregation. NOT A CHANCE. JEHOVAH WITNESSES did not make any VOW to the elders or the watchtower society, they all made a VOW to jehovah. When you make a vow to jehovah, you better keep it. Ecclestiastes 5 verse 4, and Deuteronomy 23 verse 21.. You must study the Bible to become one of Jehovahs witnesses, and you can't unlearn the truth, neiither can you UNVOW A VOW YOU MADE TO JEHOVAH.. Do you remember what GOD DID TO not just SODOM AND GOMORRAH, but SODOM AND GOMORRAH AND ALL THE SURROUNDING CITIES.

God gave Adam one wife, not multiple. Polygamy became a custom later *among men* and God didn't forbid it since it was legal for many centuries. After the coming of Christ there was no polygamy. Do not mix the idea of polygamy with adultery. Totally different. You still owe me a Bible verse saying the God blessed polygamy and adultery too.

I want to share some information with you regarding homosexuality and the fact that it is not a sin. This is something that can be proven both within and outside of the publications from Watchtower Bible and Tract society. For now, I'm only going to focus on the material from within the organization and I'm going to start with 1 Cor 6:9. Get yourself a copy of the silver edition of the New World Translation with references (the silver sword), the previous edition of the New World Translation with references (the black cover), the Kingdom Interlinear of the Christian Greek Scriptures and the Insight of the Scriptures volume 1. All of these publications can also be found at ‪jw.org‬. I want you to see how the governing body has deviated from what Jehovah actually said about who would not inherit the kingdom. What Jehovah said and what the governing body said is literally like night and day. What the governing body has done is nothing short of blasphemy. They have literally written their own prejudice right into scripture to the tuned frequency of its obeying audience with very few brothers and sisters even caring enough to question the governing body's stunt. Starting with the Kingdom interlinear at 1:Cor 6:9 there are two Greek words there: "malakos" and "arsenokoitai", which you can see mean "soft" and "liers with males". Neither term limits their subject to any particular gender. But from this point onward, the governing body begins its tainted trajectory. Their first stunt deals with the Greek word "malakos". As you can see with the kingdom interlinear, they added the word "men" to soft, hence the brackets. And without any footnote, they go straight to their blasphemy of a rendition of "nor men kept for unnatural purposes" as their so called translation in the black reference Bible. Not one word of that "translation" has any relationship to the Greek word "malakos" which the Kingdom Interlinear without their addition says means "soft". And with no support linking "malakos" to Romans 1 they list that scripture as a cross-reference to support their blatant deviation. Their second stunt can be found in the footnote of the black reference Bible. The first lie the footnote lists is "nor Sodomites" as an understanding/parallel for the Greek word arsenokoitai. It is abundantly clear that when Paul penned the word "arsenokoitai", he did not make any reference/comparison/ parallel, etc. whatsoever to ANY city, let alone one named Sodom or any derivative of that name. As proof of this here is the Greek word for Sodom: "Sódoma"; and here is the Greek word Paul actually used: "arsenokoitai". The two words are not even close to being related. So now with Sodom and its homosexual lie added to the mix via the "Sodomite" reference, the ground is fertile enough for the translators to introduce their next stunt: the addition of the word "men" to "liers with males". So now instead of working with what Paul said according to the kingdom interlinear it now goes from "liers with males" to "MEN who lie with men". The silver sword takes this lie further with arsenokoitai by adding "MEN" a second time for a total of three. They took the black reference Bible' s lie of "MEN who lie with men" and contracted it down to the phrase "homosexuality" and just added their second "MEN" to it making the silver sword read "MEN who practice HOMOSEXUALITY". And if you look at the footnote of the silver sword Bible they have the literal as being "men who lie with men". That is a bald faced lie when you look at what they say the literal is in the footnote of the black reference Bible and the literal that's found in the Kindgdom Interlinear itself. The silver sword's malakos rendering is an even bigger lie. The governing body already added men to "soft" as the kingdom Interlinear shows in the brackets with the black reference Bible's translation completely deviating from Greek. The silver sword adds MEN two more times with its rendition of "MEN who submit to HOMOSEXUAL ACTS", when the Greek provides no support for that whatsoever. So you can now see the back bending gymnastics the bigoted, homophobic governing body has done to try to change God's word to make it as a weapon against gays, specifically men. Now compare their blasphemy to the simple truth of who Jehovah via Paul was actually excluding from god's kingdom. Sometimes even a liar will inadvertently spill the truth. In your Insight on the Scriptures vol 1, turn to page 434 and look under the heading of CHILD, CHILDREN If you look at the first paragraph, the third from the last sentence says the following: "Among the Greek terms are teʹknon (child), te·kniʹon (little child), pai·diʹon (young child), and arʹsen (male child). (Mt ‪10:21‬; Joh ‪13:33‬; Mt 2:8; Re ‪12:13‬)" The Greek word Paul used at 1 Cor 6:9 was ARSENokoitai. I have ARSEN in all caps for a reason. The Insight book clearly has ARSEN meaning MALE CHILD and they use Rev ‪12:13‬ which uses the same ARSEN that's also in ARSENokoitai at 1 Cor 6:9 to support it. The context in Rev ‪12:13‬ identifies a reference to a child. With all of this in mind, go back at 1 Cor 6:9 and this time, let scripture speak for itself. When Paul used the phrase "liers with males", he didn't identify the gender of who was doing the laying. The original Greek left it open, but the governing body's blasphemous rendering did not. They did just the opposite of what Jehovah did and unsuccessfully jumped through every kind of hoop to try to get away with adding MEN to it as a weapon against gays. But Jehovah said no such thing, he clearly was condemning ANYONE, MALE OR FEMALE who lay with a MALE CHILD. And when you look at the context and the setting of Paul's time, the abuse of boys existed during that time, and yet Jehovah was delicately able to condemn the abuse regardless of the gender involved and more importantly without importing a homosexuality concept of any kind or making a reference of any kind to a city named Sodom. The tragedy in all of this is the unimaginable damage and pain being done to gay witnesses all over the globe. Most witnesses will not even be motivated to fact check the governing body's translation but will instead assist in the slow, internal suicide of our gay brothers and sisters by wishing them options that they as straight individuals would never wish upon themselves. But fortunately their cry for help is growing and friends are starting to listen to them. What the governing body has done is sad and it's sickening, because as you can clearly see Jehovah NEVER said that they would be barred from his kingdom. The governing body is the LYING homophobe, not Jehovah. And believe it or not, more witnesses are starting to see that
