Would that be tolerated for a 'traditional' relationship? Basically what I'm asking is why a same-sex couple, in these enlightened times, should have to undergo a layer of restriction that opposite-sex couples do not. "It displeases God" isn't a justification.
Its quite a burden to convince someone that doesn't believe in god to understand the reasoning. So, if a gay person did believe in god and did feel that their nature towards the same sex was unnatural and willingly became one of JW's, that would be their prerogative, wouldn't you agree?
