BEG A GAY JEHOVAH'S WNS MA DANIEL FEEL LIKE HE 'DIDN'T BELONG ANYWHERE'

"That was how homosexuals were always portrayed at the meetgs and bible discsns, so beg aware that you were gay, you really were odd. (Genis 1:27, 28; Levic 18:22; Proverbs 5:18, 19) The Bible nmns sexual activy that is not between a hband and wife, whether is homosexual or heterosexual nduct.
The Bible don’t ment directly on the blogy of homosexual sir, though acknowledg that we are all born wh a tenncy to go agast what God mands. ” (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. Still, some people would say that the Bible promot prejudice agast homosexuals and that those who adhere to s moral are tolerant.
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.

The Hardship of beg a Gay Jehovah's Wns * gay jw *
Whilst I was told I uld have Jehovah’s favour if I did not practice my homosexual feelgs (like a straight person uld whilst not mtg fornitn) I personally felt that was different if you are gay.
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. I was not after sex, and had no plans to sexually attack the people, but bee I was outed as beg gay, people beme unfortable wh me. Whilst i unrstand that i uld still have gods favour whilst not practisg my homosexual feelgs (like a a straight person uld whilst not mg fornitn) i personally felt that was different my se and all other gay jws.

Y i know only refers to those who are practisg homosexuals, but knowg how god hat homosexuals and knowg that i am one and nt fix that is mentally bilatg.
At this pot i had not accepted i was gay and bee of the judicial procre that got thrown out to the open and elrs had to be told and fay had to be told etc. Im imprsed wh their level of fah orr to do this, but sad as gay people are nied very basic human rights, the right to love someone and build a home wh that person.
But my nfintial rmatn was leake out due to ncerned elrs wantg to warn other young brothers which turn gossiped to everyone hence the ng knew i was gay!!!! So becuase i was outed as beg gay, thee is no chance that any brother is gog to want to hoe share wh me or go on randomn holidays etc. And this has happened to another brother the ngreagtn who is assumed to be gay even though h done nothg wrong and has never said he is gay but has himself bee victimised this way too!
