Ex-gay Andrew Comisky compares today’s church with the church at Pergamos

February 28, 2013

Following is most of Andrew Comisky’s blog called “Lent Devotion 3: True Worship” on andrewcomsiky.com: “A few years ago, my teenage son told me that the largest evangelical church in our city was winning over many of his friends. His concern? Those new converts continued in sexual immorality as the church ‘did not make a big deal about premarital sex.’ Later I read one of the pastor’s books in which he conveyed quietly that Christians had to become ‘gay–affirming’ if they wanted to be relevant to a new era.”

“Last month that pastor presided over President Obama’s inaugural prayer breakfast. Barack’s first pastoral choice had been cut at the last minute when it was discovered that he had a ‘homosexuality, sin, and healing’ sermon in his preaching history. What we worship will be reflected in our sexual ethics. Read the rest of this entry →

Christopher Doyle discusses the quandary ex-gays present to the gay rights movement

Excerpts from Christopher Doyle’s opinion piece “The Ex-Gay Problem: You Can Never Leave?” on the Christian Post website: “‘You Can Check-Out Anytime You Like, But You Can Never Leave.’ So says the Eagles’ song Hotel California. Ironically, this memorable phrase in that 1976 classic hit has lasting implications for all those wishing to leave the gay life. I am careful to say ‘life’ and not ‘lifestyle’ so not to offend any gay and lesbian reading this who may be quick to cast me as a homophobe or hate-monger.”

“The truth is no one simply chooses to have same-sex attractions (SSA). These feelings are the result of many factors, mostly environmental and familial, mixed-in with one genetic factor, a sensitive temperament. I make this claim not with a preponderance of scientific evidence, but with the clinical experience of my own practice as a psychotherapist over the last three years, plus an additional twenty years of observations from my colleagues at the International Healing Foundation.” Read the rest of this entry →

Exodus International leaders now encouraging Christians to serve in gay-straight alliances

February 11, 2013

[Editor’s note: Gay-straight alliances in schools are a political strategy of GLSEN, the gay political movement’s most powerful organization influencing schoolchildren. The message of GLSEN mirrors the gay political movement that gay is good and equal to heterosexuality. GLSEN has been involved with efforts to teach schoolchildren gay sexual techniques and associates biblical principles on homosexuality with intolerance. Ex-gayTruth.com does not agree with the advice that follows from Alan Chambers.]

The following text was transcribed from the “Question of the Week: How do I respond to a gay-straight alliance in our local school?” video featuring Alan Chambers: “Our question this week comes from a man who called in asking how he should respond to the creation of a gay-straight alliance being created in a public system in his community.

February 23, 2013

Excerpts from the article “Network blasted for demonizing ex-‘gays'” on World Net Daily: … “‘They are so afraid of people discovering their sexuality and realizing that no one is born a homosexual and learning that they can actually change if they want to,’ said Greg Quinlan about the issue raised by a recent episode of CBS’ ‘Criminal Minds.’ … ‘It is for this reason that they preach against us with such hate and venom, attacking us for exercising our right of self-determination,’ he said.”

“The heart of the issue is that if people who leave the homosexual lifestyle exist, it disproves the assumption that some are born homosexual and cannot change, the prevailing belief in the homosexual community.” Read the rest of this entry →

February 21, 2013

Excerpts from Dr. Grossmans second article about helping individuals with unwanted same-sex attraction on her blog www.miriamgrossmanmd.com: … “I wondered, though, about people who go against the tide and choose to fight their same sex attraction. They must have some interesting stories to tell. I discovered a support group for men in reparative therapy that met monthly in a Los Angeles home. The ‘Circle of Men’ welcomed me as a guest one evening. There were about twenty guys, young and not so young, seated comfortably in the living room. I had one question: what is their message to the mental health profession? They were eager to be heard.”

… “I had an idea: Invite these men to come and speak to my colleagues at the counseling center. Read the rest of this entry →

February 19, 2013

Excerpts from the article “Massachusetts state education officials release directive to force transgenderism into all schools” on Mass Resistance website: “The “transgender agenda” onslaught is now hitting Massachusetts schoolchildren with full force. What you are about to read is nothing short of madness. But it is happening. (To the rest of America: Take note. What happens in Massachusetts will likely be in your state before long — unless you are vigilant!)”

… “Among other things, according to the document, schools must allow ‘transgender’ children to play on sports teams and use the locker rooms, changing rooms, and restrooms of the opposite sex. And except with very young children, the schools will accept a child’s decision to “become” the opposite sex, even without parents’ knowledge or consent. Read the rest of this entry →

February 19, 2013

Excerpt from the article “Boy Scouts could lose tax break for gay ban” on Hearst Newspaper’s SF Gate website: “California would strip the tax-exempt status from youth organizations like the Boy Scouts if they have policies that bar gay people from participating, under a bill introduced at the Capitol Tuesday.

Alan Chambers gives the reason why Exodus International has no policy on gay marriage

March 04, 2013 By: Tom Coy Category: Ex-gay News, Religious Perspective

February 18, 2013

The following text was transcribed from Exodus International’s “Question of the Week – Gay Marriage?” video featuring Alan Chambers: “Each week we get a number of important questions that come into our office. This week the important question we decided to answer is – Does Exodus International have a policy on gay marriage? And the answer is no, we don’t. If you remember a number of years ago we were involved in public policy.
