Heath said:A big part of the A.A. program from what I understand is that you have to work the program in order for it to work so in another words that a homosexual has to work the 12 steps himself or herself in order for it to work and I have seen some ex-homosexuals be successful and are the real deal while another homosexuals play and fool around then they are not serious about obeying God and wanting to improve their lives for the better.
There is no such thing as an "ex-gay" or "ex-homosexual", you're just deluding yourself. One cannot agree to work with the system when the system does not work as you're trying to change the way a person, biologically, *is*. It's exactly the same as trying to change a person's race by counseling them to think they're a different one. It's absurd.
Heath said:The only person that makes it really successful is themselves, yes there is a support system just like in A.A. but that person has to be serious in order for it to work. I will continue to refer both Deaf and hearing homosexuals to that organization.
That's your choice. If there is an afterlife, and there are consequences for evil, you will reap what you sow. Just imagine, maybe in your next life you will be gay, forced into the closet because your parents are conservative Christians and you will eventually be come out and sent to an "ex-gay" camp and end up hating yourself and committing suicide.
That'd be ironic, no?
Heath said:You do realize that the A.P.A. and the A.M.A. have been taken over by the liberal establishment and you have to question why?
A doctor is a doctor. Political opinions have nothing to do with that. To be a doctor or a psychologist means to have studied for many years and ultimately being certified to practice. So-called "ex-gay" therapists are often not professionals and they do not have the training or qualifications to do the work that they do. If you were sad, would you let someone in your head, messing with your ideas, your emotions, if they didn't know what they were doing? Worse yet, would you let the average car mechanic perform heart surgery on you if you if he didn't have an M.D.?
As for the APA, AMA, etc. even being politically biased, that isn't the case either. You're just making up whatever is convenient to suit your argument.
Heath said:As for the former president of Exodus to be hanging out in gay bars in Washington DC. He slipped up just like an alocholic falling off the wagon. Remember he is only human and he made mistakes like all of us do and the best we can do is to obey God and warn anothers when something is not right and help them with Biblical Scriptures and a vast listing of Christian organization for the problem they may be having in their life then it is up to them to be serious about changing their lives for the better.
As far as I can tell, he's not an "ex-homosexual", he's still gay, as evidenced by his actions.
Heath said:I have seen ex-homosexuals who work hard and are the real deal and have accepted Jesus Christ as their Personal Saviour.
That's nice. What else do the voices tell you, Heath?

Funny how ALL of the experts in the field disagree with you on this. Are you saying you have more medical knowledge and experience than every single one of the best doctors in the WORLD? Are you that naive? Has God inflated your ego that much to think that you know more than the EXPERTS, people who have spent their entire lives learning and researching? How much medical research have you performed? How many clinical trials have you conducted? How many letters do you have after your name?
