  hi everyone, just wondering what your thoughts are on people that say they are born gay?

  ive heard that this isnt actually possible, and that there is no scientific backing to it, im personaly not gay but i was just wondering what some of you think on this matter, and if you have anything to back it up with, thanks,.

  Having worked with young children in schools I really believe some people are born gay. I've seen too many little children with definite gay tendencies , and sure enough, they grew up to be gay. I think it is popular today to experiment and so I am sure there are those who make a conscious choice or who consider themselves bisexual. But I've known too many people who just are not interested in the opposite sex just like heterosexuals are not interested in same sex relashionships.

  The Love Starved

  when i first got on the internet, 8/9 years ago, the only people i came in contact with were jw's.

  i had just been reinstated, after being df for 9 years.

  my first observation was how lonely the chatters were.

  You are so right purps. I have been to many a meeting and though surrounded by many people felt utterly and completely alone. And I happen to be a pleasant person who smiles at everyone no matter what. I can just imagine what more introverted people go through in this organization.

  do you agree with this statement by the org?

  by PaNiCAtTaCk in

  this was taken off the jw-media website

  conscience

  jehovah's witnesses avoid making rules and regulations beyond those provided in the scriptures, and they do not follow traditions that contradict bible teachings.

  Help mom if it is not a hardship on you but seek legal counsel and set things in place so that this does not happen again. Be a good daughter but don't be taken advantage of. Your mom's husband is the head of her household and therefore the responsibility rests on his shoulders. Other than loosing the house, what else could happen? What is the worst possible scenario? Could they sell the house and buy a smaller one, or rent? Look at all the options before you do anything.

  I would:

  Not bash other witness

  Be honest about why we no longer go to meetings (not to involved, just simple facts).

  Be honest about why the others shun us, but say it's not their fault, they are just doing what they've been taught.

  Have lots of fun family time.

  Allow her to make friends at school and the neighborhood, and encourage her to join clubs, teams, dance lessons (whatever interests her).

  Work hard at keeping the emotional atmosphere in the home calm and stress free.

  Tell her that when she grows up she will be free to join any religion she wants, even JW's, and that you will always be there for her to love and support her.
