I understand that homosexual actions are bad and any sexual things they do are bad..but I just..I donno. I have a real hard time with this. I absolutely do not agree with homosexuality at all, but I have a problem with it because I don't understand why people are like this (and I don't mean that in the "why can't they just be normal" way). Like, do we really understand what makes people gay?
i've me JWs who i know if they weren't JWs they would be gay, so part of it has to be genetic. however, its a bad tendency. some people are born more likely to be murderers, rageaholics, cleptomaniacs, or pyros. just because they were born like that doesn't justify the action, its something you have to fight against. people are just so accepting of it now.
Exactly, and I understand that it doesn't justify the action. But those that don't know it's wrong..that don't have the truth. I just feel bad for them. Because they're surrounded by a world that tells them it's all right, it's okay it's not your fault so just go with it you can't do anything to change that. And I guess they really can't do anything to change it, just supress it.
Exactly! Their are many in the truth, even now who was some of those things you mentioned. 1 Cor 6:9 and 10 mentions fornicators, men who lie with men, theives and etc. The key as we all know is in verse 11 which says "that is what some of you were", but you have been washed clean and santicified...
A very good friend of mine, we grew up together, both our fathers were elders, all our families are in the truth, however he was disfellowshiped, became a homosexual, and now does women's hair for a living, with tight black pants, tight black turtle necks, flashy gucci belt buckles, and thick soled Kenneth Coles. It's upsetting and sad to me, but as a good friend of his, i'm still here in the truth, not a homosexual. I guess what i'm saying is that we all constantly have thoughts and inclinations contrary to Jehovah's expressed will. But just like you replied, we have to fight against them. Those who don't take advantage of the provisions like the meetings, info from the slave, field service, prayer, can easily fall prey to satan's deceptive works, such as the imorality he invented...
Some homosexuals are seeking refuge from a trobled family life or past. A recent WTCH article mentioned pornography as a factor which can lead to it. Compare homosexuality with drugs. Some start of with Marijuana and end up on crack. If a person who smokes crack, stops, and start back smoking marijuana, it would have very little effect on the individual, as they have went so far already in that direction. I think the same can be said of homosexuality. A lot of the homosexuals I personally know led very loose lives before becoming homosexuals. They did so much, that that which is natuaral and normal wasn't interesting and appealing to them anymore. So they then took it to another level of immorality.
I really didn't think that was the case (they did so much that other stuff wasn't appealing anymore) with most homosexuals. I thought most just really believed that is was right and they just liked the same sex and it is natural for them.
With some possibly. Others have had bad expirences with the opposite sex, so they clicked with those who shared similar expirences of the same sex. Some may have felt they were missing something in life, and sought homosexuality as an answer. I'm sure as with many other things, there are endless possibilities of why. But we were created in God's image, and we are most successful the closer we reflect that. Hence it is important to direct homosexuals to god's purpose for them, and as they bring their lives in harmony with that, they will indeed find gayness in its puriest form.
