i was hesitant signing up but really need as much input from the people on this forum to get a clear understanding on things.
@Aspognophos Exactly. I created this thread as a confused and open Jehovahs Witness and appreciate the many who gave me valuable information for me to read on. Don't understand the need from the insults and harsh tone from Datadog. I know my questions are naive but still deserve some respect.
Just wondering were you a JW before?

@Onager
I guess I'm just curious to see peoples (non-jw's or ex jw's) opinion on this matter. That is all. But you are right. There is a much bigger world out there to explore.

@Apognophos Yes. This was the point I was trying to make which is "homosexuality in animals does not mean it is okay in humans because we don't base our morals on animal behavior" But I see your point as well. Thanks for your input.
@Syme I'm not racist towards gay at all. I don't know why my topic or statements are all that bad. I've been trying to be as tactful as I can like I keep saying. My statements and outlook might be naive or premature but in no way was I saying these things out of hatred, bigotry or stupidity. Since I'm encouraged to ask questions (most of them were rhetorical) and make statements I will do it here. I appreciate all your comments and don't mind all of you being firm as long as it is not sarcastic or condescending towards me. Even if a child were to ask me a so called "stupid question", I would address it with love, respect and of course honesty yet in a firm and tactful manner. I wouldn't address it in a manner that would make the kid feel stupid or wrong for making such questions.

@Datadog
I'm trying to respectufully voice out my thoughts in a forum that I am now open to. My questions may be naive but what can you expect? If you are critizing my comments calling them stupid, watchtarded and implying I'm a dumb-dumb then so be it. That is not the way I act towards people and I won't do the same thing. There are better ways to get a point across without being impolite or rude. All I know is that my motives are pure for being on here. I won't get discouraged and quit my search for sincere answers on here.
I appreciate the few kind people who address themselves tactfully and firmly to my naive thoughts. Thank you for all your patience.

@ Viviane
Of course for me, it is not okay to murder people, beat up people or for terrorist driving planes into towers. I just want to get as much people's thoughts and inputs to the questions I address and how they come to that conclusions. Like I said I'm learning a lot and starting to see many perspectives that I didn't once every really consider. I'm trying to be as nice and tactful as I can when I write my post. I've thanked you for your the contribution that you've made to my thread as well as it got me thinking.
I'm being open to a community that I once thought was wrong to get answers from. I'll be honest, I'm not very intellectual when conveying my thoughts so everyone please be patient with me. This is all very new to me.

@OneEyedJoe
Thanks for your insight. Doesn't really matter who answers my questions. Just like being able to get everyones thoughts on it.
I can believe that some are born gay, but I still feel that the types of association, media and shows that portray gay life in a positive light plays a much larger role in whether a person becomes gay or not.

@OneEyedJoe
So what if a persons being gay interferes emotionally or physically on a parent or loved one?
Sorry, I don't mean to offend people with my posts. I just so have many questions and writing them to get peoples responses.
If anyone was offended, my apologies. If you are offended, just let me know. Just know that I'm just pouring these questions on the top of my head on this thread since I'm encouraged to question.

@Syme
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?
