BEG A GAY JEHOVAH'S WNS MA DANIEL FEEL LIKE HE 'DIDN'T BELONG ANYWHERE'
Growg up gay and wh the Jehovah's Wns muny, Daniel Tnton says his life has been filled wh isolatn, sadns and trma. * jehovah witness lgbt *
So, spe of the sex change, a transgenr would not be accepted to the Watchtower anizatn any more than a homosexual or lbian would be accepted, bee they would view a transgenr the origal genr that they were born wh. Often legalistic groups, such as the Jehovah’s Wns, a homosexual or transgenr is ma to feel that his or her feelgs nmns one to a life of hopels rejectn, not only om relig iends and fay members, but also om Jehovah God Himself. Although Scripture is clear that God tend for sexualy to rema wh the boundari of a one-man, one-woman marriage, a homosexual or lbian relatnship is not any more nmned by God than a heterosexual relatnship that is outsi of the bonds of marriage.
Bee our mistry is biblilly based, we view the subject of homosexualy much the same way that the Jehovah’s Wns do that is a s that the Bible nmns, but we adm that homosexual and lbian tennci stem om a variety of velopmental issu related to the gnive, environmental and childhood experienc that shape one’s sexual inty throughout life. Although much rearch has sought to provi a geic or hormonal lk to homosexual orientatn, no fdgs have emerged that allow scientists to ppot a homosexual gene. Th, we believe that a homosexual is a victim of other factors related to the physil and emotnal experienc of childhood and the formative teenage years.
The effect that the experienc n have on the dividuals who are stgglg wh homosexual tennci often mov them beyond their abily to “change” the feelgs on their own.

While our mistry do not specialize the plex issu related to homosexualy, we have a ttimony posted on our webse om an ex-Jehovah’s Wns who was liberated om the homosexual liftyle after 15 years of gay relatnships wh over 100 men. His passn for homosexual sex had bee all-nsumg to the pot that he even nsired havg his genr changed om male to female, but all of the homosexual relatnships the world uld not fill the empty void for love that his broken childhood had created wh him. The power of His fivens healed him of his homosexualy, and today his ttimony stands as a powerful wns to the life-transformg power of the Gospel of J Christ!
Do not be ceived; neher fornitors, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effemate, nor homosexuals, nor thiev, nor the veto, nor dnkards, nor revilers, nor swdlers, will her the kgdom of God.
