I really disagree with this. People in the poster's situation can feel, and truly be, extremely isolated in their "real life". Do you honestly feel that most church leadership is going to be understanding of his questions? In a perfect world, yes, but in 'real life' it's usually not possible to truly have an unbiased discussion about these issues with your church leadership.
Battles like this very often have to be fought inside your own heart and head. You usually have to come to these decisions on your own, with much prayer, of course. And forums like these can be a great benefit as a sounding board.
It has been an INCREDIBLE benefit to me to know that I'm not the only one who faced these questions. And hearing other people's stories, hearing how they dealt with their own personal situations has been a great help, too.
That's just my perspective.
