Well, if you do work far from home and end up "turning homosexual" . . . . there is hope.
According to the recent IC, you too can "kick the gay habit":

No worries!
.......referencing 'studies' which likely don't exist
.
This religion is plum bat-shit crazy. I mean really....would there even be such a ridiculous study? If so, then why not "name" the study? Can you even imagine such a study? Who would even answer such questions?
.
Please partiscipate in the following study if you or your spouse work away from home.
While you or your spouse worked away from home did you partiscipate in any of the following activies.
A. Infidelity
B. Homosexuality
C. Incest
D. None of the above
E. Two of the above
F. All of the above
.
P.S...Don't Bethelites technically "work away from home"?
If the person is gay before they travel, could they be reversed and become straight, while they are living abroad? We may have found some solution here
"some studies have shown"
= Someone in the WT Writing Dept. knows a guy who had an aquaintance who's best friend heard about a twice-removed third cousin's ex-girlfriend's brother-in-law who worked with a closet homosexual who knew another closet homosexual who once studied with JWs but became a Scientologist and travelled a lot.
Alpha and Shirley,
Funny stuff! But to make this rearch tool valid, they would have to ask whether the sheeple were engaged in: Infidelity, Homosexuality, Incest, etc. before they worked away from home and then do the math, accounting for a margin of error! They would also have to add questions about how long the work stay lasted and to address their other stupid rules whether the traveler engaged in masturbation or porn viewing while away. And to rule out other variants they would have to ask whether there were underlying factors which may have contributed (domineering/neglectful spouse, etc.). Then they would have to chart the responses, creating a normal population distribution chart/bell curve in order to appropriately analyze it, determining where in the bell curve the data suggested there could be a corelation.
As if. They would rather use their bully pulpit to create another set of draconian 'rules' to follow and further strip individual conscience and choice from the sheep.
I have not read the article, but in [knowledgabel] family discussions, the fact came up, that after years of separation, the 2 or more personalities have changed to the point that the two earlier persons do not exist any more, so not only a financial, but family re-alignment is cemented.
It is wrong to blame humans for striving to improve their lives.
think of the people that died in the barbed wire of the Berlin wall, and those victims of the other [wall kill] wall that's erected to keep dangerous ideas from seeping in to the other paradise.
"some studies"
Marking in case someone finds a link to the these supposed "studies".
@Blondie ... Exactly! Circular logic. "I'm right because I say I'm right."

Blondie, spot on. They have no studies. The writers of these articles have to be working on them for months before they appear in the WT, etc. Assuming they have any training at all, they know that definitive statements require support by empirical data in articles that have any credibility. They also know that there are studies on just about everything imaginable and have time to research the topic completely and cite sources for their comments.
It is likely that any sources/studies they quote would be ripped to shreds by its detractors and by some rank in file who cared enough to actually do some research, which takes a few minutes now on the 'Net. I would expect to see more articles and statements supported by 'some studies' in the future. They lack any academic credibility; they are written to control the under-educated and the brain dead.
