Growg up gay and wh the Jehovah's Wns muny, Daniel Tnton says his life has been filled wh isolatn, sadns and trma. * jehovahs witness gay *
” (Hebrews 12:14) While they reject homosexual acts, Jehovah’s Wns do not force their view on others, nor do they participate homophobic hate crim or rejoice when they hear of them. For example, the Bible speaks of “those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who subm to homosexual acts, ” and then adds: “That is what some of you were. In sayg “that is what some of you were, ” do the Bible mean that those who stopped engagg homosexual acts never aga experienced any homosexual sir?
(Romans 7:16-25) A person who has homosexual leangs n ntrol what he allows his md to dwell on, jt as he would ntrol any other wrong sire, cludg leangs toward anger, adultery, and greed. A few weeks later, our ngregatn’s pridg elr lled me on the phone and asked if I was “a homosexual” and planng to live as one, as if the two n be separated.

Many tim I have sat through meetgs and the topic of homosexualy or homosexuals have e up and I crge at what I’m hearg and I have to get up to go to the toilet jt to stop hearg , bee I don’t want to be remd how beg gay is wrong and how gay people will be stroyed at Armageddon.
Y, I know only refers to those who are practisg homosexuals, but knowg how God hat homosexuals and knowg that I am one and n’t fix that is mentally bilatg. Whilst imprsed wh their level of fah orr to do this, is sad gay people are nied very basic human rights, the right to love someone and build a home wh that person. ” (Ephians 4:14) Instead, they base their view of homosexual nduct (and any other kd of nduct, for that matter) on the standards set forth the Bible.
