When our former president was found out for having sex with a mistress in the Oval Office, I was [naively] shocked that so many people saw nothing wrong with it and defended him. Probably the same rationale at work?

What does this say about me? I admit to having made big mistakes in my life; but when others screw up morally, I don't defend their behavior. Does that make me a hypocrite? OR judgmental?

... I guess it doesn't really matter much what people think of my unwillingness to condone immoral behavior. What matters is what I can do to help protect children from the lie that "Whatever feels good IS good," and homosexuality is "perfectly normal." Also, the more I read, the more I realize that children need more warning and protection from predators than I thought.... But I still come back to the question: What can I do? I barely make enough money to pay my bills, so huge contributions to CWA or someone are out of the question; I'm not in a position of being able to influence individual kids as I once was as a schoolteacher; so where does this leave me?

You know, the one project that really impressed me as having lots of exposure and potential influence was the billboard which called people's attention to the fact that there really are EX-gays. I thought that was great. Was that in Houston? Those should be all over the country!

Exactly. I thought of that while posting earlier, actually, but didn't want to drag him into the subject.

It makes you neither. It makes you wise to have learned from your mistakes and discerning in that you now recognize the harm these mistakes have done both to yourself and to others. It is the epitome of false piety and compassion to pretend that bad behavior by other people is just peachy simply because you have acted badly in the past. There are no people out there who have never behaved inappropriately. I have and I admit it. (That's what confession is for, if you're a Catholic, btw).

If you don't learn from your mistakes and pass this wisdom on, you do future generations a grave disservice.

How many family members, neighbors, friends, associates, colleagues, etc do you know who have children and have similar concerns? There are still many people who don't understand what's going on. Perhaps you could compile some documentation from Scripter's Homosexual Agenda: Categorical Index of Links (Revision 1.1) thread and print it out and distribute or email it to them.
Here's a link to some information that you could simply highlight, copy, paste then print out or email:

Believe me....OUTSPOKEN TRUTHFUL WORDS does wonders....keep talking, and posting, and telling. Why do you think the Rats are now attacking FR more than ever? ever since Rathergate, they've upped the anty, so to speak. Look what happened to NCPAC...don't think your "just telling the truth" is not important. Those with money can do more; perhaps those with money only need to read what YOU said or what YOU posted to get them going!
