Sorry I haven't been responding to posters comments. I found something interesting with what you said. You talked about how homosexuality appears in the animal kingdom.
I was watching a show on Discovery Planet on how some different animal species will kill and eat their young babies after birth.
So would it be natural if a human parent kill and eat their babies just how homosexuality is okay among the human species?

Been reading through all of your comments and really appreciate all the different information everyone is giving me.
After reading the comments, I can basically pursue anything that would make me personally happy?
What if a person found happiness and joy in murdering people or if a school bully found happiness in beating kids people up? Or terrorist found happiness and joy in driving planes through tall buildings? Would it be correct for them to pursue those things?

Thanks for your responses. It is really making me think a lot harder. I'll get back to you soon. Just trying to multi-task doing this while working in the office.

Yeah reading back at my post. It is kind muffled with no real point. Just various topics going in my head.
I'm basing morality on the bible itself. I know that there are times where I do slip and curse. But it seems nowadays, people use it every sentence as a filler.

@NAVYTOWN
I apologize if I was offensive at all in my post towards gays. I was being as tactful as I can be while getting my point across. Anybody else think I was too harsh on my post on gay people?

Thank you for all the good points guys and gals. I'm starting to understand a lot more now.
One of the biggest things I wish I could've done sooner was go to college. My sister and mom, despite being strong JW's, encouraged me to go to college. But I listened to my two older brothers who were elders to pursue the ministry.
Thanks again for all your comments! I read all of them so far and will try to respond to them.
So I worked right after high school. But after one year I realized I can't be working for $13.00 an hour all my life. So I started at a two year school and got my Associates recently and now at a 4 year UNI. I'm 24 and should be done by 26 or 27 since I'm still working and saving living at my parent's house (custom for Asian families until they get married. Also good since I can help them out with bills and chores around the house since I owe them alot for raising me with love as child). I feel like I'll be old when I graduate at 26 but better late than never. Just got to make the best out of the prior (poor) decision I made.
Also in school, I was heavily involved with a Hip-Hop Dance/Choreo group for Asian and Asian-American students. I enjoyed helping and teaching freshmen and sophomores Hip-Hop dance, like popping, basic breaking, locking, tutting (sorry for all you non-dancers out there). But at the same time, I was torn cause I felt I was associating too much with worldly people. If I could go back, I would've pursued more with that group. I still dance/choreo though when I want to let the creative juices and musicality flow.

Thank you all for your comments. For me, I am sort of confused right now. I did read the Watchtower article last week and found the portion on apostasy a bit too much. I mean shouldn’t the truth stand to anything? For me, I don't see what’s wrong talking with "apostates" to get their view on things and see how it compares to what we teach. If we aren't allowed to fully "test the inspired word" then that means the "truth" must be hiding something correct? I still respect some JW teachings but like I said earlier there are a lot of polices I am against or indifferent about. There are many different views on life from these ex-JW's and I'm not sure if I can accept the fact that "there isn't one true way". I just feel like even though a person has the right to marry someone of the same sex and it doesn't harm our way of living, don't we have a responsibility to warn them about their way of living? I brought out earlier how I read an article how gay partners are 17 times more likely to get an STD. The thought in my head of gay people dying because of increasing STDS due to their sexual lifestyle saddens me. That is why I don't condone the practice.
