Why would a all knowing god create a gay man then sentence gay men to suffer via stoning? If it is a choice for people to be gay then why have the rather extensive psychological tests and experiments shown otherwise?
No follow along here, lets presuppose for a minute that the god of the bible might not be real. Who would be more apt to write rules regarding human homosexuality? A ignorant bronze age man that feels a innate sense of disgust at homosexual act or a omnipotent god with an entire universe to tend to?
No we don't believe in predetermination. The JW's have commented for many years that homosexuals could have been born they way they are. But that it isn't a proper rationalization to ok it. Its compared to someone having a propensity to alcoholism. Or really even a guy or girl lusting after someone of the opposite sex that isn't theirs. JW's don't believe that the world condition is the way god purposed
So non celibate homosexuals are comparable to alcoholics in your organization? Here is a few differences. For homosexual practicing responsibly is healthy just as a active sex life is good for us all. Where as alcoholism is inherently destructive.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
