Hi David, thanks for the suggestion. I have decided to make a new site design, but need some ideas. If anyone has any other ideas, content or design- please let me know!!!

Hi there! Finally I have found the site for the thinking man with homosexual tendencies. This site is very interesting, i think that it would be worthwhile to update it! Hard to believe that in almost 2 years so few brothers have left messages on this com letely open forum. Instead they tickel each other's ears on the other new site for about a year now. Roger, if you are still with us, fix up this site and expand the potential to help!

Thank you Graham for your comments. It is unfortunate that our faithful and discreet slave ignores some of our day-to-day concerns in the rush to condemn the system. Few new friends are entering the truth anymore, we really need to help those who are here already so we do not lose what already resides within us!

Hey, I wish you were around when I left 16 years ago......10 years in various capacities of full time service....I just walked out of the congregation feeling the loneliest person on earth...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK....what the Soc. needs is good socio/econo ic policy in a difficult world.....it is hell bent on getting everyone to the other side of Armageddon....and forgets that since "no man knows the day and the hour" we have to live in the mean time. All best wishes, guys and girls, just wish I was around to give you some support.....xxxx

Finally, after six months I am healthy again and for the first time in a while, I seem to be free of homosexual desire!! Was it lots of prayer, study or meetings- no not really. I am attending meetings regularly but they seem more interesting and less irr tating now that I can sit down! My energy has been directed to building my new house and I get the excercise I need without the boredom of a gym or other methods. Thanks do go each and every day to Jehovah for keping me out of sexual contact and for allow ng me to feel well again. Maybe soon I will get a zeal for the truth for the first time in my life....

I agree, so many of us are forced to deny ourself and suffer depression and shame because of it. In my own case my elders made me feel like trash that was to be taken home after the meeting. I suffered a nervous breakdown and later stopped eating and beca e very ill. My own family was not concerned until I was hospitalized from dehydration. No one visited me there and when I returned home i decided to move away. I have been away from the kingdom hall for two years and when I see the friends here I just hid or avoid them, or not answer my door. There has been no sexual contact with men on my part, but if it happens I guess it would not matter. I do pray every day even now, but doubt that I want to return to my congregation. Funny thing, I no longer care if od lets me live until the new system!!

Hello there, I am a guy who was raised in the truth but never got baptized. My sexual preference was evident to me from the age of 14. I knew that Jehovah"s organization was not the place for a guy like me so I never entered it. However, I did carry on a ecret relationship with a MS in another congregation. We were together for three years but now he is married to a woman (a show of course) and I was left out. I hate to admit it but it is great to be in a loving relationship but I want no part of adultery Roger, if you want to meet a great gay guy e-mail me and we can get to know each other. BTW, I am blond and a bit muscular!

Hello there, I cannot believe that a site such as this gets no visitors, or anyone with the courage to leave a message in the guestbook! There are a couple of other sites, but this seems to be the only one written from the heart of a brother not brainwash d but willing to share his experiences. I myself have bee struggling with this issue and thank god that I was able to cultivate a relationship with a sister (I am bisexual) and through Jehovah's help and the encouragement of his organization, my feelings or men have been replaced with a desire to serve Jehovah right down to the end. I feel very sorry for the ones who cannot know love on a personal level with a mate. Every day I pray to know why homosexuality is so bad when there are those who cannot help ow natural it feels to them? My experiences came from abuse, but I am sure that some of you out there have some congenital factors involved instead. How about some comments here??

You do have a valid point. If you are able to have sexual release, I wonder if these are homosexual fantasies or just an automatic release with no sexual actions. I myself always feel guilty and never go for the men in my dreams. If your experience is dif erent I will change my statements when I rebuild this website.

Richard, I agree with many of the things that you express on your web pages, but I do disagree with the following statement published on your page dealing with health problems for celibacy: "Without sexual experience and with the terrible guilt associated with homosexual acts the truly homosexual brother cannot release his built up fluids at night." My reason for disagreeing is that for me, I do have "wet dreams" even though I am gay. Therefore, there is a release of fluids on an occasional basis. I too do not practice masturbation and never have, and I am 35 years old! Neither have I ever had sex wi h anybody, male or female. Perhaps you would like to add an amendment to your theory. Karl

Je suis non exclu. Je sais a quel point il peut etre difficile de vivre la vie d'un temoin de jehovah tout en desirant quelqu'un du meme sexe , j'ai ete a meme de constater le manque d'education de certains temoins par rapport a la question... si vous a ez besoin d'une oreille attentive je serai l'a pour vous... Il n'est pas question ici de critiquer l'organisation mais plutot de recevoir l'aide... l'une des principales causes de suicide en Amerique du nord est le refus d'accepter son homosexualite. peu importe ce que vous ferez vous serez toujours homosexuel que vous choisissiez de la pratiquer ou non... ce n'est pas parce que vous priez que vous deviendrez davantage attire par l'autre sexe. j'ai essayer sans arret pendant 15 ans et c'a ne fonctionne pas pour moi en tout cas.

I just want to thank you Roger for helping me greatly in my struggle to cope with homosexual feelings. I realize now that I was only acting on feelings of being wanted and not from a natural desire. My feelings for women have increased and I will be looki g for a sister soon. I just want to tell all of you out there that there is hope for us if we only keep a positive attitude. It is good that the guy who put up this site is understanding and seems to not have a selfish motive. I am glad that I did not tel my elders yet, I will discuss it with them when I come to terms with my spiritual progress. Thank you again!

Well good for you! I guess I have been "lucky" lately cuz just last week I was put in a difficult situation without me causing it. I was at a business conferance and had to share a room (there cheapscates at the office!) with a great looking gay guy...so had go back to the reception and pay for a seperate room. I just can't say what would have happened if we'd have shared a queen size bed together.It wasn't easy, it wasn't cheap, but it was worth it! But like I said situations like that just keep happeni g to me!

Finally a page that DOES make a lot of sence!!However I absolutly don't agree on your view on masturbation. And reading about that I can't help but doubt the fact that you never even once masturbated in life! Anyways..I don't want to start of negative tho gh. I've seen a few of these "gay JW" sites and even those freaks at the "comman bond" sites and I must say that this is the only one that draws my attention. Even though I can cope with the gay issue quite well myself at times...Anyways..maybe I'll write some more later on, maybe it would help to write some stuffs to vent things. Have you guys ever felt that sometimes Satan just seems to throw handsome men at ya? I think because ever since I have made so much progress spiritually I have just had so many t mptations without going anywhere where I shouldn't go that I just can't believe it's all a coincedance. Sometimes I do see Satan's hand in those situations...fortunally there is always Jehovah's strenght too,to help me trough...up till now anyway! Take c urage and Jehovahs strenghts bro's! Ask for it...all the time. We need it! ;o)

Thank you for your comments. The reason that i have not gotten rid of all of the bad comments is that those do reflect the reason that I have felt so alone in the truth.

I have been parodied by others in "clone" websites and hacked out of my site before. If we get more encouraging messages then the bad ones will disappear. Sp ead the word, it is very lonely here!

I am thinking of baptism and the elders seem to think that I qualify. Should I mention my tendencies to them or not? My friend ells me to pray about it but he does not recommend it now. I am so confused and by the way, I am sexually attracyed to my friend. He admits to being attracted to me also. I was studying with another brother before but I ended up with my friend again when he other brother moved away. Help me I am confused!! KK

I think you have a very encouraging site, Roger. I have comments for "Me" and "Righteous" though. "Me", what you did was a very stupid thing by alerting Soceity about this website. Do you think that the brothers at headquarters are stupid? They'll have a etter back to your congregation elders so fast telling them to be on the look out for you because you were looking at at Gay JW website and that you might need readjusting from homosexual tendencies! And for "Righteous", if you are so righteous, why were ou even looking at this website? Having some homosexual feelings yourself? Hypocrites like you make me sick! Neither of you should have been looking at potentially "dangerous" material such as this and if its anyone who needs reproving it's you!

I really have not had time to review your site with a fine toothed comb. From skimming the info. it seems we are on the same page. Loyalty to Jehovah despite personal cost. A desire to glean support and validation without transgressing Jehovah's laws O princilples. Maybe I should have read more carefully but at this time I do not feel threatened. I'm not sure what to make of some of the previous messages. Time has taught me not to jump to conclusions or prejudge the motives of others; I would sugges the same to some of the people who have seen fit to accost a number of ones who had taken a risk to recieve help. May Jehovah continue to bless those with right motive, knowing that he reads the hearts. Brotherly love from a fellow worker in the faith. br>

And what about all those really stupid things you've written on your awful article 'health effects of celibacy'????? You mis-represent Jehovah's Witnesses. There are many other things I could say about your site, but quite frankly if you are too stupid to see them for yourself I do not see any point in spelling them out to you.

I must admit, being an active JW and being gay is easy at times. I hug all my "brother friends" and tell everyone openly how much I think they are good looking. The good thing is....no one believes I am serious. Sure, I never say "I am gay".... The one go d thing about being a JW and gay is that two single brothers could live alone....be secretly gay...and no one would suspect anything at all. The only problem is....finding other gay JWs. I know stacks of straights who sleep around...but gay JWs is really n the closet. This is in Australia by the way....
