The sun never sets on gay Jehovah's Witnesses!
Gay Jehovah's Witnesses can be found all over this earth.
My name is John. Yes, even at 5 years old I was attracted to the same sex. And all throughout my childhood and teen years I was attracted to guys and had many sexual encounters with them. I gave my gay desires full rein. Then I got the truth at 21. The first Watchtower the Witnesses left me had an article about homosexuality. I thought, well, to please Jehovah, I'll just have to give up gay acts, you know like turning off the water faucet. Well, little did I know that trying to suppress my gay desires was like trying to stop the flow of water at Niagara Falls! It's really been a daily fight for many years and the feelings and desires are as strong as ever.
Please come out and talk to us.
Here are a couple testimonies of gay Jehovah's Witnesses:
I have been married for ten years, and I have one child. I struggle daily with my “thorn in the flesh.” I have homosexual desires. Marriage did not change that. I had truly been in the depths of despair because I couldn’t seem to win my fight against my desires. However, after reading this article, I no longer feel like a lost cause. I have been able to accomplish the reachable goal of not acting on those desires.—2 Corinthians 12:7.
I have dealt with homosexual urges from as early as five years of age. I am now 61 years old, and the urges have not subsided. I especially liked the points that stated that even heterosexuals must flee from fornication and that there are “many who are single with little prospect of marriage and many who are married to a disabled partner who is unable to function sexually,” yet they are able to live happily without fulfilling their sexual urges. Therefore, those with homosexual inclinations can likewise lead moral lives if they truly want to please God. So I thank you for encouraging those of us who deal with this circumstance.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
