 Is it true that gay men can change? May 15, 2010

Joe Dallas in His book, "Desires in Conflict" brings his story of how he changed his sexual desires from homosexual to heterosexual. Having read this book and been involved in a lot of ex-gay work I can whole heartedly say that this is far from reality for most who go through ex-gay work or try to deal with their sexual orientation with prayer, bible study, accoutability, etc. I will admit that there are a few that do get married and have kids and seem to live a good, happy Christian life (but still deal with what they call homosexual lust) more power to them. But most have to continually deal with same sex desires the rest of their lives and not acting upon them for they are seen as sin. The shame of this is that the church saying homosexuality is sin only gives one way out, celibacy. And yet in the Scriptures celibacy is a gift not something that is pushed upon others.
Slowly the public and even some of the church is changing its views on homosexuality much like they did with women's rights, slavery, integrated schools, racial discrimination etc. where the bible was used to justify the belief. Thankfully many people are changing and the stigma that Joe and so many other of us went through is no longer there with one being gay. I know that for some one can not put the words Christian and gay in a sentence, me being one for many years. And that is due to the inflammatory rhetoric and out right lies of what it means to be a gay man or in a lesser degree a lesbian. One can be a Christian and gay and live a wonderful life. And for me the beauty of it is that I can now love another deeply, passionately, and truthfully no longer living in the den of shame, exclusion, and fear because my same sex desires never changed after being and dealing with ex-gay ministry for over 20 plus years. A side note, I had a friend after going to Joe Dallas for quite a while knew that they were gay and ended up coming out and becoming a committed gay Christian.
 Excellent book March 27, 2010

I would be more than happy to review this book, but your shipment never arrived. It has been over a month since I ordered.
My attempts to contact you via email were fruitless; As far as obtaining any kind of resolution to customer complaints, your website SUCKS big-time. You make the gross assumption that everyone is satisfied with your service. Nowhere could I find a topic that remotely related to customer dissatisfaction.
Save the recovery effort, I'm outta here. I don't plan on using your services in the future. If this is the way you touch the lives of your customers, DON'T TOUCH ME.

Even the experts thinks "reparitive therapy" is dangerous August 6, 2009

HERE ARE THE FACTS:
NEW YORK -- The American Psychological Association declared Wednesday that mental health professionals should not tell gay clients they can become straight through therapy or other treatments.
Instead, the APA urged therapists to consider multiple options - that could range from celibacy to switching churches - for helping clients whose sexual orientation and religious faith conflict.
In a resolution adopted on a 125-to-4 vote by the APA's governing council, and in a comprehensive report based on two years of research, the 150,000-member association put itself firmly on record in opposition of so-called "reparative therapy" which seeks to change sexual orientation.
No solid evidence exists that such change is likely, says the report, and some research suggests that efforts to produce change could be harmful, inducing depression and suicidal tendencies.
The APA had criticized reparative therapy in the past, but a six-member task force added weight to this position by examining 83 studies on sexual orientation change conducted since 1960. Its comprehensive report was endorsed by the APA's governing council in Toronto, where the association's annual meeting is being held this weekend.
THIS BOOK IS DANGEROUS. SAME SEX ORIENTATION IS A NATURAL PART OF THE SEXUAL CONTINUUM AND CANNOT BE CHANGED. REMEMBER: GAY AND TRANSGENDER KIDS HAVE EXTREMELY HIGH RATES OF SUICIDE. BOOKS (AND ATTITUDES) LIKE THIS CONTRIBUTE TO THOSE NUMBERS.
A great journey June 28, 2009

This is the door to a new way of thinking about homosexual feelings in a man or a woman. People will criticize this way of thinking because they are not willing to accept the fact that this is not inborn but psychological. People CAN change. God TRANSFORMS lives, period. The only thing is that you HAVE to be be willing to accept HIM as the Savior and there's no other way. Obedience and compassion to ourselves will help us change.
