Heck of a name, Null.
I'm sick of the way people like this always twist what ministries like this do. No one is forcing people to go to these conferences, people go of their own free will. Of course, that is the very thing that Null would like to stop.
Not everyone is happy living in the homosexual lifestyle. That is a fact. And I'm quite sure that a lot of the people who say they are happy are not. Null would like all of those who are miserable to remain miserable just so she can preach her message that there's no way out.
And what the heck is it with this transgender thing? How in the world can you look at a person who wants to have his genitals removed and say that's normal. Given, there could be some things going on in a persons body that we don't understand, but I don't think that bodily mutilitation is the solution.
As for changing, there are failures, even in a religious atmosphere. The idea is not to become a heterosexual, to become straight, though that may happen. The idea is to get right with God. If people set their sights too high, they're going to see themselves as failures if they don't make it. At that point they'll probably fall back into their old ways, ways that are comfortable.
I think that people have to have the right mindset to change as well. It's like when you tell someone you're sorry when you're really not. You may say you're going to change, but deep down you think, I really like this, I'll just fool around a little bit. That little bit becomes more and more until finally you give up and say the system failed you, instead of you failing.
The big problem that Null has is that her worldview depends on homosexuality being innate. That gives them a leg up (so to speak) in getting non-discrimination legislation passed. The worst enemy of her kind is people like John Paulk and Stephen Bennett.
Speaking of Paulk, the homosexual groups went nuts when he walked into that gay bar in DC or wherever. Would they tell an alcoholic that fell off the wagon to give it up and just accept the fact that he's an alcoholic? Mind you there is more evidence for alcoholicism being genetic than homosexuality. Paulk fell off the wagon, big whoop.
If things continue like Null wants, we'll have states like Illinois that have passed legislation that protects a group of people because of their BEHAVIOR.
Big Amen!
I was born a homocidal maniac with maniacal sadistic tendencies. I've been fighting it for years, leading a double life, pretending I am happy. I suppose I should just come out of the closet and demand society accept me the way I am.
Shalom.
