"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.
THE HARDSHIP OF BEG A GAY JEHOVAH'S WNS
Homosexualy, homophobia, and gay marriage: What do the Bible say? What do Jehovah’s Wns believe? * gay jw *
” (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.
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. 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.

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.
