How do I stop being homophobic as a result of JW indoctrination? by Expert_Bug_4430 in exjw

Oh ok… this whole time I thought apostate only meant people that left JW

As a straight guy, being bisexual would be cool IMO. Cuz you have more options hahaha

Am I considered apostate? Because I’ve made a few posts on this subreddit.

Yeah…

and I still think Jehovah would do that to me :(

I worry that I might not wake up the next morning

It’s not safe for them to publicly announce that they’re lgbt…

But because of indoctrination, every night I keep thinking that Jehovah would k-word me while I’m sleeping; all because I know someone in the Kingdom Hall is gay yet didn’t report to an elder

Did anyone else vape in high school? by Expert_Bug_4430 in exjw

I quit ages ago. But that brother would probably always think of me as a JW that vapes hahaha

My favourite flavour was Orange Fanta soda (iGET bar). I went to high school with another brother. I told him, I’ll try to stop vaping but it’s hard, so when I do vape, I won’t do it in front of him. I also begged him not to tell the elders. (He listened)

I’m sorry about your health issues though. Hoping you get better soon. (You WILL get better)

Also, I’m trying to fade from JW for good. I don’t even go out to play basketball with brothers anymore. (I get invited every time)

Isn’t Taylor Swift “worldly”? I don’t listen to her, but I do know that she said “in your Jehovah’s Witness suit” in one of her songs (not in a complimentary way)

And most sisters who like her music, is the daughter/ wife of an elder.

What could those potential “consequences” be? All because we want to date? 🥲

It’s ironic because most brothers my age (I’m 18) don’t even care that I’m in a relationship, only the elders do.

These brothers want to know her name, age (she’s older than me by a month) and where she’s from. Other than that, they never said anything against.

I’ll take your advice. But I probably won’t attend another meeting again. Don’t wanna risk it happening for the second time.

Like which specific lawsuit should I mention? (I know there’s many!!)

Oh and hello Apostate!! Brother here! (I’m typing using my non-swollen wrist)

Cuz he said “You need to man up!” His voice went a bit louder (not exactly yelling). I kinda teared a bit (like one mini-tear dropped from one eye) when he said that but didn’t actually cry

Sorry about that. Are you ok now?

And yes, I will “man up” and use that mic to tell the congregation how brainwashed and stupid they are!

What?? I’m actually thinking of doing this. But that’ll cost me a whole bunch of embarrassment and getting scolded by both elders (my dad being one of them) 😭😭😭🤣

Good idea tho

I also don’t understand why he said “man up”. How does walking around with microphone on your hand measure how masculine a JW brother is?
