Dear brothers and sisters,

What is your advice on how to wrap one's head around the topic in the subject line? How does a young active brother with a loving family who has been raised in the truth end up leaving Jehovah and leading the life of a homosexual? It is something both myself and my husband (who is studying) would like to understand.

Are some people born this way due to our imperfections or does something sway someone towards this sort of life style? Or is this just an outright attack from Satan?

I am just so saddened to have learnt of this young brother's choices, he used to attend our congregation and about a year ago he and his family suddenly moved away to another territory and new congregation and it was so abrupt and sudden, now I know why.

I'm shocked and sad that this young brother could not trust in Jehovah more and really rely on him to get him through the feelings he was experiencing and I will continue to pray for him.

Thanks for reading

I found the January 2012 Awake! interesting, the articles "From Our Readers" as well as "The Bible's Viewpoint" in that issue.


I do not know if those will help you or not, but it is a start.


One of the letters makes reference to "Young People Ask . . . How Can I Explain the Bible’s View of Homosexuality?" in the December 2010 Awake! Online now at


download.jw.org/files/media_magazines/g_...


That is all I have right at the moment, but maybe it'll help.

I made an error in the way in which I worded the response. I highlighted the error in the quote below.


What is actually online now is the January 2012 Awake!


I don't know if it'll help you with your question but I hope it does.

Yes, it  is  hurtful to us  when  our  loved  ones,  raised  in  the  accurate  knowledge  of the  scriptures,  turn  their  backs  on  Jehovah's  truths  and  begin  to practice  the  ways  of  this  wicked  world.   we  likely  will  see  an  increase  of  one's  who  leave  and  turn to  homosexuality.   This  practice  is  really  sweeping  the  world.   I have  it  in  my  own  family.  My  oldest  granddaughter  who  was  raised  in the  Kingdom  Hall,  turned  her  back  on her  beliefs  and  married  another  woman.   Now  she  wants  to be  a  mother  so  she  has  been  AI and  is  now  carrying  a  child  that  is  my  son's  grandchild  and  my  great  grandchild.   The  wickedness  of  this  world  is  very  hurtful.


with  affection  from  Marken
