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.

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.
Sure and if someone wanted to be an alcoholic that is their decision right? And they have to suffer the consequences of their actions? I probably shouldn't have compared it to alcoholism in the first place but rather just simply a heterosexual desiring to commit fornication. Like I have been saying to stimbo, it doesn't make sense from an atheist point of view but if you believed in god and believed that there were positive benefits to living by its standards then it would be that individuals prerogative to decide whether or not they viewed their feelings as natural or not. If they felt they were then being a JW wouldn't be a good fit for them. They wouldn't be allowed to get baptized and I don't know why they would anyway
