Is it wrong for me to visit gay sites and talk to gay men whilst I am a practising Jehovahs Witness? I also judged some of my family for the way they live yet I am gay and a Jehovah, was I wrong to do that?

JW is banned is several countries because it is a cult. You warp people's minds so they don't even want to visit their families. JW takes all joy out of life, including holidays, family, etc.
Oddly, JW encourages you to be poor and unsucessful. What a bunch of loosers.
People who try to leave discover that all of their JW "friends" will brand them and disown them. Now, that's a cult.

If you are living one way and preaching another then Yes.
I do not know you. I know that the bible tells us in first corinthians 3:1-5 a list of wrong acts and how Jehovah feels about these acts. If you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses then you know it mentions "men who lie with men". Also if you a Witness then you know homosexuality is not a genetic fact but a person's choice. Most humans are sexual creatures. That does not mean we all have to have sex. We choose whether or not we will have sex. If it was not a choice, then there would not need to be rules. What makes you think you are "Gay"? You need to examine your life. You mentioned going to "Gay" web sites. Did this start after you started wondering or before? I am sorry for whatever you are going through. You need to get advice and counsel from real people, not just screen names. I am a 21 year old male Jehovah's Witness. For all you know I am an 86 year old lesbian wicca who is just answering to mess with your head. My point is you know the Elders are there to help you. Even though it is scary and hard to ask for guidence and help it is nesecary. Use the wonderful library of information we are provided. Read or reread the Your Youth book. See what in your life is making you feel this way. I know it is horrible to do or feel something wrong and even worse trying to hide it. All you are doing is making your life worse. PLEASE talk to the Elders or confide in another Brother, whatever you do please ask for help. Jehovah is here for you. Take advantage of the tools he has given us.

i agree with PEQUEN
i am sorry but i dont know if i can believe that u r a Jehovah's witness if u were then u should be talking to the elders and not here... if u r a witness then think when u got buptised u did because u loved Jehovah and promissed to honor his name for eternety, u r not doing that now, Jehovah has given u FREE CHOICE like everyone else but be careful because when u say that u r a Jehovah's witness u make the society look bad... u must know that everyone in the congregation is there for u specially the elders.... and if u r buptised and need to sort ur life out then i really agree with what ISHVARLAN has said.

This particular questioner may be many things, but he most certainly is *NOT* a practicing Jehovah's Witness. Instead, this question seems mostly intended to slander and demean Jehovah's Witnesses.
It is undeniable that there are those among Jehovah's Witnesses who struggle with sinful tendencies. The Scriptures teach that even those with homosexual tendencies can worship Jehovah acceptably if they keep their tendencies under control.
Incidentally, "talking to gay men" is difficult to avoid for a regular minister of God. Jehovah's Witnesses are very careful not to discriminate during their door-to-door ministry. They hope to share the bible's encouraging message with ALL of their neighbors, not just the asexual and heterosexual!

I am more than sure you are not a Jehovah's Witness and just in case you are, you know what the consequences are of what you are doing. You can hide from men, but you can't hide from Jehovah. The hand of Jehovah is a fearful thing.

I don't know what to say. The Jehovah's Witness thing does not seem life-giving but neither does the gay orientation. Maybe you should see a counselor.

yes, u r a hypocrite, if u believe, as a Jehova's Witness, that being gay is immoral. It depends on how u feel about being gay. if u enjoy it and feel no remorse, yet tell others that its wrong they will call u hypocrite, however if u r trying to change and feel remorse then its ok to tell others how it shud be.

you cant help but judge other people, its human nature. You are aware that you did it and you should really now check yourself before you judge other people but I wouldn't berate yourself for it.
I am not familiar with your faith but I belive that homosexuality is frowned on? Are your familiy aware that you are gay? My personal opinion is that you cant moderate or shift your sexuality, irrespective of your religion. If you have accepted yourself as gay, and your faith is important to you, then you can practise the two and its really nobody elses business.

it's not about being hypocrit. it's just you have to understand the incompatibilities in question and take action upon them. That will define who you are and where you want to stand.
Sometimes, it just takes time to understand that, but questioning it it's the first step towards a successful conclusion.You gave the first step, now give the second one. Which one will be will say who u will become. My personal opinion doenst matter, since im sure we are very different individuals.
Good luck^ -^

I have a friend that was a Jehovahs Witness - he left his religion when he realized he was gay. You have to go with what is going to make your life complete.

I wouldn/t consider you a hypocrite (but that is only because you didn't say anything about how you expected them to treat you) but I also don't think that you judging them is going to get you very far - you wouldn't want your friends and family to be doing the same thing to you?
