  i think it would be a nice feature on this site if we had a list of people who where active on the board, then we wouldnt be upset if we had no replies to our topics ( cos no one was about ) or be really excited if there were a couple hundred.

  Evolution and Homosexuality in species

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i started wondering the other day how homosexuality could evolve in species, humans for example, assuming the main purpose of evolution and natural selection is for creatures to reproduce and pass on their genes to another generation.

  obviously for natural selection to favour homosexuality there must be benefits to the species which outweigh the disadvantages of no/less reproduction patterns of homosexual members of the species.

  i found an article that certainly offers some suggestions to solving the seeming "puzzle".

  oops i stuffed up... i meant to say this in the second paragraph

  this doesnt actually mean you are more attracted to the same sex though, males being "less-masculine" or more feminine doesnt mean you are going to prefer the same sex, it could just mean that your sex drive isnt as strong, it really DOESNT point towards homosexuality from what i can see.

  sorry everyone, lol

  But the genetic makeup of less-aggressive males also makes homosexuality more likely. Also males who are "less-masculine" also have lower sex drive and so reproduce less. So it's a trade-off somehow.

  this doesnt actually mean you are more attracted to the same sex though, males being "less-masculine" or more feminine doesnt mean you are going to prefer the same sex, it could just mean that your sex drive isnt as strong, it really point towards homosexuality from what i can see.

  And what about lesbianism? That theory doesn't quite work in reverse. More aggressive females make better Mothers?

  this is a very good point pope

  The other argument the paper makes, is that the species is strengthened by having the genetic and/or cultural diversity of hetero- and homo-sexual individuals.

  Once again it doesnt really mean you are homosexualy just because you are "less-masculine" or more feminine, to me it would sound better if they said

  the species is strengthened by having the genetic and/or cultural diversity of "less-masculine" or more feminine individuals. (to me this doesnt mean someone is gay it just means they are less-masculine" or more feminine, thats not sexual at all).

  Ive gotta say though it is very interesting, great thread pope!

  it is an advantage for males who are less aggressive and show more caring, let's say "more feminine" traits, as these make better fathers. They are less likely to be killed in fights with other males, for example, and would be happier to stay at home or the nest and help more with raising the offspring.

  I could be wrong on this but wouldn’t that be impossible because to reproduce the father would have to have sex with a female to have offspring, so how do you get the offspring for the father to lovingly raise if the father is gay? It seems to cancel itself out.

  A Message To All The Lurkers

  by Anitar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in recent weeks, i have seen several posters that some call the jw "lurkers," meaning the witnesses who read the articles of this site, and are perhaps questioning what the watchtower has been teaching them, yet are still very defensive of the watchtower's actions.

  as a result, i have seen and participated in several heated debates.

  it seems the main criticism of us is that we focus too much on the "negative," that we dig up the past too much, and worst of all, that we have nothing to really complain about, other than the personal vendettas some of us have against the watchtower.
