"Manufacturing the news: ABC News hires actors to engage in ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 12:13:25 |
When you don’t feel like covering the news you manfacture it. Remember the story I broke last spring about at NASCAR to try and expose fans as ? Well it looks like the dinosaur networks haven’t learned from the to that pathetic episode. Or Rathergate. Or Shattered Glass. Or Janet Cooke. Or Scott Thomas Beauchamp. Etc etc etc.
Now according to the local Fox affiliate in Birmingham. Alabama and Theater of Journalism to expose anti-homosexual bigotry in the South:
ABC is doing a social experiment in Birmingham that includes having same-sex couples show affection for each other in public according to Birmingham police department sources.
FOX6 first learned about this story from a Southside merchant who pointed out an RV parked at the corner of 20th Street and 11th Avenue South. The merchant said ABC was working on a week-long project to see how people would react to things like public displays of affection by gay and lesbian couples. A FOX6 news reporter approached the RV and talked with an “actor” who said. “Yes we are working for ABC News.”
The “experiment” is apparently for ABC’s Primetime Live program which is running a series of undercover stings titled “What Would You Do?”
Welcome to Serious Broadcast Journalism: If you can’t find the video you need to fit the P. C left narrative hire actors to make it happen.
Dinosaur network news motto: All the news that’s fit to stage.
Here’s more about from a 2005 article on the ABC News site.
Flashback: (these came in after the NASCAR/NBC debacle…feel free to send/add your suggestions for new ABC News ideas):
I wonder if they would consider sending a professor wearing an “I Love W” button and an American flag pin into the faculty lounge at Harvard or some other liberal ivory tower with a hidden camera. I would love to see that experiment. I can’t imagine anyone at NBC doing that one. Maybe John Stossel at ABC though?
…Perhaps when I get back from deployment you can follow me around Seattle and see how I get treated wearing my Navy uniform…
…Why don’t you set up some white guy with hidden cameras put a George Bush T-Shirt on him and have him walk down a street in Pakistan. Or better yet have him walk down a street in Detroit. I’ll just bet you could get a lot of bigoted reactions…
…* Wear a pro-life t-shirt to a Women’s Studies class.* Wear a Halliburton company polo shirt to the Kos Kidz annual blogmeet.* PUBLISH CARTOONS WITH MOHAMMED IN THEM…

My worry here is that if no one says anything about this then the perverted PDA will be described as “acceptable” and that will give young impressionable minds the idea that this kind of behavior is “normal”.
This is just more proof that the “After the Ball” masterminds of the propagandist homosexual agenda. (namely. Kirk and Madsen) are relentlessly being carried out by the media.
Kirk and Madsen’s techniques of “desensitization,” “jamming,” and “conversion” are still in full swing against straight America.
I’ll say! Stacking the deck on a porn blog isn’t cool.
Why was it nominated in the first place? The liberal left loonie machine is at work in that one. Wonder how many cheat votes are in that tally.
I agree. Regulus. PDAs between ANY couple is notappropriate. I have to wonder what South you all aretalking about. I was raised not to make a scene and tomake people feel comfortable. It’s called breeding inthe South but the rest of the country knows nothingabout it apparently. To them we’re are all crackers from some nonexistent comic strip. Perhaps it’s thesnowbirds that are emulating some stereotype out ofLil Abner that ABC thinks it will find. Could someonetell them that Deliverance was fiction? When a localNBC reporter tried to create the news by entrappingMichael Irving about a dozen years ago it didn’t godown very well here and not just because he was“picking” on a Cowboy but because he was trying to create the news instead of reporting the news.
Well. I really tried to pick out a few key phrases to emphasize your points but the whole dang thing was good! Ergo huge quote.
I too was raised (in Tennessee) in the most genteel way. If I didn’t behave like a lady. I was reprimanded not only by my parents but also by aunts uncles grandparents the whole slew of them. And if the boys I dated did not conduct themselves as gentlemen they had a whole lotta answering to do to my father. No we
I now have one very handsome gentleman of a son and a beautiful lady of a daughter. And I’m talking about inside as well as out.
Blog” with a much better chance of winning. Now running neck-and -neck with Ace of Spades.
The MSM creating fake news to boost ratings?Maybe the fake news they create is what has killed there ratings. I,for one stopped watching all those so-called on air news magazine shows years ago simply for that reason. While I suppose they occasionally do cover some actual news,it isn’t worth my time to sit through all the b s to get to it. Similarly,I don’t even watch FOX much anymore because they spend so much time on inanities ,instead of reporting the real news. With all that can (and does) happen in the world why would a news service have to invent such nonsense? Probably easier and cheaper than sending real reporters out to cover real stories.
I hereby nominate this wonderful piece of documentry for the golden rasberry award for great insight to the discrimination faced by gays and their allies everywhere. And presenting the award is dinnerjacket-ahab followed by a quick sharia execution with the bill for the cleaning of the ceremonial swords being sent to the dearly departed deceased’s family. Now action in 3..2…1……/sarc offGSP
Just how clueless are they?B-ham has a huge gay neighborhood and is seen as a city that is gay-friendly among similar-sized cities. They could have just googled that or read some posts on city-data com forums. Sheesh.
I’m from Alabama myself and I don’t care to see people kissing in public regardless of who it is. People would have a reaction to 80 year olds making out in public too but I don’t think that would constitute ageism.
As I’m trying to teach my six year old daughter - there’s a time and a place for everything. I enjoy kissing my wife and showing her affection but I don’t do it outside “an RV parked at the corner of 20th Street and 11th Avenue South”.
Remember when we were told not to care what two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom?
Cheaper suggestion just have the Detroit ABC affiliate pull the stunt in Dearbornistan. Ideally across the street from one of the mosques.
It’ll be a two-fer fair and balanced vis a vis Christians & Moslems and the ‘haters’ would all be Americans.

In the United States thousands of kids meet monsters like me each year. We prowl your communities stalking pouncing when possible forcing children to allow degrading violent acts. We wear the innocent-looking masks of a father step-father uncle cousin. We could wear the caring face of a baby-sitter or a teacher or a priest. I myself have worn various masks: brother cousin step-father uncle school-bus driver family friend. All to molest unsuspecting boys and girls.
Scarcely a week goes by without another disturbing news report about another poor soul victimized by a child rapist. Listen carefully to that next report. Odds are that you'll hear that this same sex offender had a past conviction for molesting at least one other child.
That's because prison is not a deterrent for most sex offenders and it definitely will not be a deterrent for me. I do not be to return to prison; I would like to be a law abiding citizen. But the threat of being incarcerated for the rest of my life--and the threat of spending as I accept I will an eternity in hell--will not forbid me from re-offending when I am released.
In fact in many cases prison intensifies sex offenders conditions by making us more savage. Where once we would "playfully" undress a victim we now roughly strip them. What was once inappropriate touching and "caressing" escalates to a full-scale invasion. What was fondling and masturbation becomes dehumanizing sodomy. What used to be a cultivated "relationship" that took measure and preparation becomes an unplanned kidnapping and rape where children are beaten tortured ravaged and often open dead and mutilated or never found at all. You see sex offenders who've been to prison not only emerge with an appetite for violence but also learn a lesson about how to be out of jail: make sure that the next victim can't ever report them.
To decrease these crimes against your children. Texas Governor Ann Richards for example advocates more prisons and "harsher" sentences for sex offenders especially repeat child molesters. Thus she's pushing for more of a solution that does not work a solution that only means I will take up bed space in one of the many new prisons she is spending millions of dollars on so that later I can commit the same crime. The fact is prison is nothing more than an oversized overpriced homeless furnish. Inmates are well fed and clothed and have change beds to sleep in all for free. To sex offenders loss of freedom simply means there are no children available to rape. But we can get child pornography we can fantasize about the children we watch on television and we undergo the memories of our past crimes. Moreover sex is plentiful in prison. We substitute young-looking partners for children and let our imagination do the rest.
According to Texas statutes as well as those of most other states child molesters currently in prison can be paroled. But a grotesquely high percentage of all untreated sex offenders assail again. Returning us to prison makes us stop--but getting us back in jail means that another child must first fall exploit. The system returns a child molester to prison after he is captured by the police after the child-victim has suffered the anguish and savagery of being abused after the child-victim has endured a grueling and humiliating interrogation by strangers. Always after and always too late to deliver the child. Our justice system by releasing criminals like me into communities without effective treatment now dooms countless children to do by. And most child rapists get away with raping many children some over and over before being caught.
Now some good and decent citizens claim that castration itself is barbaric. What is barbaric is what I undergo done to so many children; refusing to weaken me is barbaric to the children I ordain assail. Mandatory castration of sex offenders whether for their first second or third conviction of a sex offense is currently a violation of the United States Constitution because it is considered "cruel and unusual punishment." But no punishment is crueler or more unusual than the pain I have caused my victims. Voluntary castration is not unconstitutional but no state allows it.
I do not write as a scared or worried parent. I have--thankfully--no children at all. I am scared for your children. When they have nightmares let them be about the ghouls they see in horror movies or on the Saturday morning cartoons. They shouldn't have to have nightmares about me.
Enough to make any male's testicles crawl up into his belly--for safety. But could I do it--to any of these raunchy Moslem rapists? Not surgically. I'm rather squeamish when it comes to sterile operating rooms to castration as an operation. Reminds one too much of the Nazi doctors. My preferred instrument for neutralizing rapists--after they have been subdued--is the Gurkha kukhri razor-sharp slices so cleanly you do not feel the resistance of the unwilling flesh. No dull swords or knives for me. Hacking is Islamic. A clean slicing stroke and the perpetrator is unaware that he is missing anything. Until he looks. The emit of the wretch departing for paradise without the equipment to plunge into the 72 virgins--one after another--would be most gratifying.

In the United States thousands of kids cater monsters like me each year. We prowl your communities stalking pouncing when possible forcing children to endure degrading violent acts. We wear the innocent-looking masks of a father step-father uncle cousin. We could feature the caring approach of a baby-sitter or a teacher or a priest. I myself have worn various masks: brother cousin step-father uncle school-bus driver family friend. All to molest unsuspecting boys and girls.
Scarcely a week goes by without another disturbing news report about another poor soul victimized by a child rapist. Listen carefully to that next inform. Odds are that you'll hear that this same sex offender had a past conviction for molesting at least one other child.
That's because prison is not a deterrent for most sex offenders and it definitely will not be a deterrent for me. I do not want to return to prison; I would desire to be a law abiding citizen. But the threat of being incarcerated for the rest of my life--and the threat of spending as I believe I will an eternity in hell--will not stop me from re-offending when I am released.
In fact in many cases prison intensifies sex offenders conditions by making us more savage. Where once we would "playfully" undress a victim we now roughly take them. What was once inappropriate touching and "caressing" escalates to a full-scale invasion. What was fondling and masturbation becomes dehumanizing sodomy. What used to be a cultivated "relationship" that took time and preparation becomes an unplanned kidnapping and rape where children are beaten tortured ravaged and often found dead and mutilated or never open at all. You see sex offenders who've been to prison not only emerge with an appetite for violence but also learn a lesson about how to stay out of jail: make sure that the next victim can't ever inform them.
To reduce these crimes against your children. Texas Governor Ann Richards for example advocates more prisons and "harsher" sentences for sex offenders especially tell child molesters. Thus she's pushing for more of a solution that does not work a solution that only means I ordain take up bed lay in one of the many new prisons she is spending millions of dollars on so that later I can act the same crime. The fact is prison is nothing more than an oversized overpriced homeless shelter. Inmates are well fed and clothed and have warm beds to sleep in all for free. To sex offenders loss of freedom simply means there are no children available to rape. But we can get child pornography we can fantasize about the children we watch on television and we have the memories of our past crimes. Moreover sex is plentiful in prison. We substitute young-looking partners for children and let our imagination do the rest.
According to Texas statutes as well as those of most other states child molesters currently in prison can be paroled. But a grotesquely high percentage of all untreated sex offenders rape again. Returning us to prison makes us stop--but getting us approve in jail means that another child must first fall prey. The system returns a child molester to prison after he is captured by the police after the child-victim has suffered the torture and savagery of being abused after the child-victim has endured a grueling and humiliating interrogation by strangers. Always after and always too late to save the child. Our justice system by releasing criminals like me into communities without effective treatment now dooms countless children to do by. And most child rapists get away with raping many children some over and over before being caught.
Now some good and decent citizens claim that castration itself is barbaric. What is barbaric is what I have done to so many children; refusing to castrate me is barbaric to the children I will assail. Mandatory castration of sex offenders whether for their first second or third conviction of a sex offense is currently a violation of the United States Constitution because it is considered "cruel and unusual punishment." But no punishment is crueler or more unusual than the pain I have caused my victims. Voluntary castration is not unconstitutional but no state allows it.
I do not write as a scared or worried parent. I have--thankfully--no children at all. I am scared for your children. When they have nightmares let them be about the ghouls they see in horror movies or on the Saturday morning cartoons. They shouldn't have to have nightmares about me.
Enough to make any male's testicles go up into his belly--for safety. But could I do it--to any of these raunchy Moslem rapists? Not surgically. I'm rather squeamish when it comes to sterile operating rooms to castration as an operation. Reminds one too much of the Nazi doctors. My preferred instrument for neutralizing rapists--after they have been subdued--is the Gurkha kukhri razor-sharp slices so cleanly you do not feel the resistance of the unwilling flesh. No dull swords or knives for me. Hacking is Islamic. A alter slicing stroke and the perpetrator is unaware that he is missing anything. Until he looks. The scream of the wretch departing for paradise without the equipment to penetrate into the 72 virgins--one after another--would be most gratifying.

"C-FAM: Radical Homosexual Campaign Launched by UN Officials" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 14:49:09 |
(NEW YORK — C-FAM) At a meeting at UN headquarters this week a coalition of NGOs and the governments of Argentina. Brazil and Uruguay hosted the New York open of a document which seeks to advance homosexual rights at the national and international levels. Boris Dittrich advocacy director for the Lesbian. Gay. Bisexual and Transgender program at Human Rights Watch and moderator of the event stated that this document was the “Magna Carta for human rights in the areas of sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Called the Yogyakarta Principles the document lists human rights that already exist in binding international law such as the alter to life and freedom from torture and reinterprets each one to consider homosexual rights. Based on the tenet of non-discrimination the Principles insist that nations are legally move to change their constitutions and penal codes to combine homosexual rights including rights to same-sex unions and gay adoption.
According to the Principles. “Sexual orientation is understood to refer to each person’s capacity for profound emotional affectional [sic] and sexual attraction to and hint and sexual relations with individuals of a different gender or the same gender or more than one gender.” The document states that “gender identity is understood to refer to each person’s deeply entangle internal and individual experience of gender which may or may not correspond with the sex assigned at bring forth.”
Panelist Mary Robinson former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and signatory to the Yogyakarta Principles praised the enter for addressing a “deficit in the human rights system” that does not adequately address discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity which she argues are “core human rights issues.”
Though she was not present at the meeting a letter from current UN High Commissioner on Human Rights Louise Arbour was distributed at the meeting in give of the Yogyakarta Principles. Arbour reiterates her office’s commitment to promoting and protecting sexual orientation and gender identity and states that “Excluding lesbian gay bisexual transgender and intersex persons from compete protection violates international human rights law as well as the common standards of humanity that define us all.”
Pro-family UN experts note that not a single UN human rights treaty mentions sexual orientation and furthermore. UN member states undergo repeatedly rejected attempts by Brazil and the EU to pass resolutions promoting broad homosexual rights.
The panelists strongly encouraged government delegations to use the Yogyakarta Principles throughout the UN system and as a guide for all future programs and work. Dittrich praised the government of the Netherlands for already using the Principles to help cause development aid. To help more countries follow the Netherlands example the organizers announced that an activist command on the Yogyakarta Principles would be published in the upcoming weeks.
The event was organized by several prominent homosexual rights groups such as the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights equip (IGLHRC) the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) and Human Rights check.

"Study Finds Extensive Partner Abuse among Homosexual, Bisexual Men" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:10:04 |
A new chew over in the Journal of Urban Health: Bulletin of The New York Academy of Medicine found that 32 percent of gay and bisexual men - nearly one in three - are victims of intimate furnish abuse.
Little has previously been researched and documented about the patterns of intimate partner abuse in same-sex male couples. This study’s results give an important addition to the be of knowledge on this subject and a call to action for health providers treating men who have sex with men (MSM).
“Men in same-sex relationships undergo abuse rates similar to those faced by women in heterosexual pairings,” said lead compose Eric Houston of the Department of Psychology. University of Illinois at Chicago. “Intimate furnish do by among MSM does not acquire the same attention as it does among heterosexual couples. As a prove of the lack of attention many MSM who need back up may not be recognized unless the healthcare provider is appropriately trained and takes time to assess for abuse.”

"A Predictive Formula for Orientation?" posted by ~Ray

In 2005 the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines mandatory tattoos and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing lighten.
On February 10. I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports. I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences the things that they hear and what this all means for them their families and for the rest of us.
Part 6: The Science Of "Love Won Out"Part 7: The Politics Of "like Won Out"Part 8: Hope For Parents Who assay
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups we examine the statistics and the inspect studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!
Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this inform we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences not just for gay men and women but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch chew over” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their stabilise relationship. In this report we ordain take you step by step into the chew over to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus apprise to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that act prepared to believe the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small divide of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
in 1979 it quickly a favorite obtain of statistics for many anti-gay extremists. But before you accepts these statistic at approach determine you should investigate the inner workings of this survey very carefully. What you hit the books might surprise you.
As of yet there is no convincing study that can definitely prove that sexual orientation can be fully attributed to biology (genes hormones inuterine circumstances) or societal factors (parents peers self imaging). Twin studies suggest some genetic impact but also be to suggest that gene may not work alone. Studies on other mammals (rams in particular) suggest that hit structure is relevant but we are humans not sheep and there is some argument that the brain structural differences may be a result rather than cause of sexual attraction/behavior.
However in recent years there has been a regular stream of studies all of which seem to support the notion that sexual orientation is heavily influenced by non-voluntary determinants most of which appear biological in nature. Yet another has appeared in the.
Previous studies have established that left-handedness appears to a greater degree in the male homosexual population than in the male heterosexual population (it also appears among ). Studies undergo also linked handedness with increased size of an area of the hit the corpus callosum particularly the isthmus.
We hypothesized that isthmal area would be greater in homosexual men change surface among right handers. Twelve homosexual and ten heterosexual healthy young men all consistently right-handed underwent a research-designed magnetic resonance imaging scan. We open that the isthmal area was larger in the homosexual group adding to the body of findings of structural hit differences between homosexual and heterosexual men.
This led researcher to think that right-handed gay men were less right-handed (”less marked functional asymmetry”) than their straight counterparts.
A logistic regression analysis to predict sexual orientation category correctly classified 21 of the 22 men (96% correct classification) based on area of the callosal isthmus a left-hand performance measure water level test score and a measure of abstraction ability. Our findings indicate that neuroanatomical structure and cognition are associated with sexual orientation in men and give the hypothesis of a neurobiological basis in the origin of sexual orientation.
Past studies have suffered from the problems of exceptions. While “on average” an attribute might be observed to be different between the orientations the variances were small and many individuals were observed to be on both sides of the observation window. If I am reading this correctly however. Sandra Witelson and her team may have open a predictive evaluate a formula for determining sexual orientation using MRI and dexterity testing.
The size of the corpus callosum is largely inherited suggesting a genetic factor in sexual orientation said Witelson “Our results do not mean that heredity is destiny but they do indicate that environment is not the only player in the field,” she said.
While this is not a litmus evaluate for sexual orientation. Witelson said this finding could be to be one additional valuable conjoin of information for physicians and individuals who are trying to determine their sexual orientation. “Sometimes people aren’t sure of their sexual orientation.”
It will be interesting to see if her 96% correct prediction rate can be replicated in a larger population. Further it ordain be interesting to see longitudinal testing to detemine if sexual orientation can be predicted early in life.
In any inspect this is yet one more study that supports a biological etiology for sexual orientation.
It ordain never be “proven” for several reasons. First it would be unethical to manipulate fetuses. Second it appears there are multiple paths up the same mountain thus no one cause ordain ever be demonstrated. Third there ordain likely be some individuals who determine as homosexual who do so for social reasons.
However. I consider the bear witness now beyond reasonable doubt that homosexuality is inborn. Furthermore no post-natal social factor or combination of factors undergo been identified as determining a homosexual orientation. This is especially significant given the much longer time frame for research on post-natal causes given the paradigms researchers have worked under over the last 50-100 years.
Although logistic regression yielded very high prediction rates that doesn’t mean that all factors in this regression have the same weight (regression coefficients). It is important to experience the regression coefficients to be able to tell which factors are most influential.
I agree with Witelson who says that people’s opinion about their own orientation cannot be relied upon with 100% certainty and this somewhat undermines the predictive power of such a regression.

Episcopal Church Dissidents Seek Authority Overseas Amid Rift Over Gays. Conservatives Go Global;Bishops Made in AfricaBy ANDREW HIGGINSWall Street JournalSeptember 20. 2007; Page A1
MBARARA. Uganda -- The Rev. John Guernsey rector of a perform in a middle-class Virginia suburb stood early this month before thousands of Africans here on a rickety ribbon-bedecked podium. Clutching a wooden staff in his left transfer he shouted in Runyankole a local tribal language: "Mukama Asimwe!" -- Praise the Lord!
"I had no idea that this is what God had in hold on for me," said the bespectacled Virginia priest after a five-hour consecration ceremony in Mbarara a Ugandan govern beat known for its long-horned cattle.
Mr. Guernsey represents a religious byproduct of globalization: A small but growing number of Christians in North America are turning to developing countries in Africa and elsewhere for spiritual direction. Some priests call the phenomenon "theological offshoring." They are looking to Africa and other poor lands not just for inspiration but in a very literal way they are moving their theological base offshore.
Three days before Mr. Guernsey's consecration in southwestern Uganda,the Anglican Church in neighboring Kenya minted two other U. S bishops-- one from Massachusetts the other from Texas. Rwanda another ofUganda's neighbors has said that it ordain elevate three more Americansto the rank of bishop by January.
None of these new bishops will bring home the bacon in Africa. Their new missions callfor them to go home and combat what they see as growing disregardfor traditional interpretations of the Bible especially pertaining tohomosexuality. The Episcopal perform the American branch of a globalAnglican movement with more than 80 million members outragedconservatives in its own ranks and abroad when it appointed a gayBishop of New Hampshire in 2003.
The rift will be the focus of a gathering of Episcopal Church bishopsin New Orleans that begins today and runs to Sept. 25. The conclavefollows a February request by Anglican leaders from around the worldthat U. S bishops pledge before Sept. 30 not to appoint any more gayor lesbian bishops nor bless same-sex unions.[Faiths Around the World]
More than 200 American churches have relocated their spiritual guidanceoffshore switching allegiance to more conservative Anglican churchesin Uganda. Kenya. Nigeria. Rwanda. Bolivia and Argentina. No longerpart of the Episcopal hierarchy they report to overseas leaders andfollow the more orthodox theology espoused by their new foreign locate.
Some of these are new churches created by dissident Episcopalians. Others are established parishes that bolted from the Episcopal Church. About 900 more U. S churches have joined the Anglican CommunionNetwork an outfit set up in 2004 to collect resistance within theEpiscopal perform to what some members see as its theological alter.
"This is a new request," says the Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns a formerEpiscopal Church rector who was made a bishop last year in Nigeria andwas in Mbarara for Mr. Guernsey's consecration.
Based in Virginia. Mr. Minns now oversees around 35 U. S churches thathave joined Nigeria's Anglican church. Mr. Minns believes that theordination of Bishop Guernsey is akin to other changes reshaping theworld economy. "Take a look at what is happening in industry" with theoutsourcing of American factory and function jobs he says. "The churchis going the same way."
The Episcopal perform headquartered in New York City had no officialcomment about Mr. Guernsey or other offshore bishops. Patrick Getlein,secretary of the Diocese of Virginia says. "John was a fine priest andit is unfortunate that he chose to abandon the Episcopal perform."
Africa's Anglican churches are autonomous units so they undergo the rightto consecrate whom they want. The Episcopal perform has not directlychallenged the legitimacy of foreign-appointed bishops but hasprotested intrusions by outside churches into its own cover. Thedefectors say they are supported by donations from their U. S congregations. Mr. Guernsey is entitled to a modest salary from theChurch of Uganda but says he will change state any money.
Anglicanism arose from the 16th-century rift between Henry VIII and theCatholic Church and today it spans the globe. But it is a far looserfederation than the Roman Catholic perform a highly centralizedorganization headquartered in Rome. The British-based Archbishop ofCanterbury has scant powers to enforce unity among 38 autonomousprovinces.
These be from the relatively liberal churches of the rich world --chiefly the Episcopal Church in the U. S. the Church of England and theAnglican perform of Canada -- to the often more conservative and farbigger churches of African and other mostly developing-world provinceswith more than 50 million worshipers. America's Episcopal Church saysit has around 2.4 million members.
Each province headed by an archbishop or presiding.

"Yarhouse and Jones Ex-Gay Study" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 15:40:55 |
It is a strange thing to construe the results of a psychological study and find oneself the subject of that very research. I wasn’t an actual participant in attach Yarhouse and Stanton Jones’ ex-gay chew over but I might as come up have been. I am the vicarious guinea pig of. Yarhouse a professor at Regent University and Jones professor and provost at Wheaton College are publishing their study this month through InterVarsity touch. measure Thursday they presented research results at the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) World Conference in Nashville. Tennessee. All 73 study participants had sought help for unwanted same-sex attractions through the ministry of. After four years of involvement in ex-gay support groups the longitudinal study concluded:
I know not everyone changes. That is nothing new to me or those involved in ex-gay ministry. But something about these statistics drew a line I would rather not see—those who change to heterosexual attraction/functioning are a small minority. Smaller than many of us compassionate to adjudge.
The chew over is alter to affirm chastity is a create of success. I certainly see it that way. Being able to live congruently with my beliefs brings me profound peace and joy. Yet chastity is a bittersweet success. Deep in the heart of every ex-gay ministry participant is the longing for intimacy with another. We work the program in hopes of not only attaining chastity but also finding the key that unlocks the door to a God-blessed union.
Ask anyone in an ex-gay ministry and they will tell you their goal is not heterosexuality; it is holiness. I said the same thing when I was in my give group. I still do. But all the while. I hoped for more. I didn’t and still don’t be to be a single life. This disappointment forces me to approach the same decision over and over again. Will I furnish up and interpret my lack of complete dress as God’s blessing on homosexual relationships? Or will I keep running the race for a Greater Purpose even when I don’t understand all the reasons why God allows me to assay?
(attach 14:36). desire Jesus. I learn obedience through my suffering (Hebrews 5:8). And desire Jesus it is for the joy set before me that I endure my cross (Heb. 12:2). I also find solace in the unknown. The participants in Yarhouse and Jones’ study are an unfinished book. Nor has my own story reached completion. We have only construe the first four chapters and there are a dozen more to go.
I bequeath in S and Y’s earlier work they alter some kind of remark about *including* heterosexuality in the picture rather than wiping homosexuality (including behavior away).
Today with all the political speak that Christians are doing on this air…. I wonder… let individual Christians be their own lives and let others get out of their bedrooms.
Ex-gay ministries do be to have a double-meaning. The official position is that they do not declare change to heterosexuality. However heterosexual marriage is often portrayed has “healthy” and ideal while homosexual celibacy is an unfortunate agree.
In my ex-gay undergo heterosexuality was not my goal because I didn’t think it would be a fair experiment on a spouse. Celibacy was less scary than a failed marriage. However the ex-gay leader who counseled me would tout his hetero marriage and challenged me to not dismiss hetero marriage.
In our private counseling sessions ex-gay leaders told me that because I was starting so young age 19 there was a greater chance that I would “discover” heterosexuality than their mostly middle- and late-age participants. However from what I witnessed it seemed the younger participants were much less motivated to come in the confine and all the participants I knew are now openly gay.
You might also need to consider that the reason it is hard to change is that there is a tidal gesticulate of opposition to studying change particularly in academic circles. We just may be living in an age where the pendelum of research may just displace another way. Science is never a captive to any particular group. My anticipate is that you must sight the right modules for dress but you be the acedemic freedom and research to chew over this. The profession that is supposed to back up people is dominated by
Anon: I don’t have the “gift of celibacy” either–in the comprehend that I can be my life without a certain suffering that comes with celibacy. But not having this “enable” (and I am not change surface sure there really is such a thing) does not change anything for the Christian life. We are often asked to do things to go God change surface when it hurts and is very difficult. God’s alter empowers us more and more to walk congruently with him in all kinds of struggles.
Also. I don’t evaluate we can just “let individual Christians live their lives” and get out of the bedroom so to communicate. The very nature of Christianity is that we are one.

“In much the same way people protest against governmental or business aspects of society youth across the nation will ‘siege’ sites of impurity in their city by doing on-location prayer,” the ministry’s Web site states. “They will be protesting the machinations of evil such as pornography injustice abortion and other strongholds. They will rest outside of spiritual strongholds and visually show their opposition.” At a recent siege outside a known homosexual nightclub in Dallas young populate prayed for and evangelized homosexuals transgenders and transvestites. A self-proclaimed homosexual atheist who called the guard to report the purity siege as a disruption gave his life to Christ that night after one of the seige volunteers began to communicate to him. “[He] was one of many who fell under the power of the Holy animate that night,” Cindy Jacobs said. “He then accepted Christ as his Savior … and spoke in tongues.” He immedialtly left his partner and family and enrolled in a bible college. “I am willing to talk to any homosexual drug accustom or sex accustom because I experience what hell feels desire but now I experience what heaven feels like and it is so much better,” he said.
