Sadly there is no rhyme or reason to things that growing kids do. They get caught up in the moment and the history with the parents is both forgotten and betrayed.

On this thread some people are throwing around the 'reap what you've sewn' mantra. Folks, you don't know what you're talking about. The writer has other children who are doing just fine. Do you think he reaped differently with them than the prodigal?

Here is a guy who has written an article about what has taken place in his family. The article is one small effort to make a public statement when his son has published and article in a nationwide magazine, and participated in interviews on CNN. I doubt Terry relished the idea of airing this in public, but I doubt he could stomach allowing his son to air untruths that would go unresponded to.

Folks, if you can't understand the grief this guy is having to deal with, please go to another thread and contribute there in a positive manner. This article deals with a very real issue and doesn't deserve to be trashed.

Thanks for that, Doughty. I knew Randy back in 1989 Operation Rescue. When we had a damned good chance at stopping the abortion holocaust. Thousand's of Christians went to jail.

But, that was then.

Very wise -- and it is not easy to give up on child!

randall terry is covering his butt so as not to lose credibility with his followers. he's always been a worm, i can't really say i feel any compassion for him.
so what if the son is gay, the dignified thing to do would have been to just shut up.
