The APA clearly has been the catalyst behind fighting against homosexuals being changed. As such they continue to ensure that gay affirming therapists get lots of business for gays who want to hear said therapists affirm them.

More gays on the couch equals cash in the pockets of the gay affirming therapists.

Plain and simple.

Welcome to statistics Benjamin…….Jamaica has one of highest
murder rate in the world per capita, Jamaica has approximately 1.8million people. The USA by contrast has 250 million plus people, and if you should compare the literal number of murders, the USA’s numbers would be way higher than Jamaica, but based on the per capita rule of statistic….Jamaica is way ahead of the US on the murder rate listing. Statistics.

Same thing with the mental health issue, we are comparing percentages. Statistics.

THe numbers still stand, and the community is a cash-cow for the therapists based on the statistics.

However, please answer if you are truly seeking help or looking to argue something you already believe to be true. I will say this: God is not the author of confusion.

Regarding myself and my testimony, youre wrong. But will knowing that help you? If you think THE TRUTH will help you, then my information is available. Its up to you. I do sympathize with you having been in that same spot you were when I was 19. I lived your delimma, but have you lived my freedom?

This forum is not the appropriate place to get the kind of help –and truth– you need to overcome what youre dealing with.

That excerpt from British journalist Simon Fanshawe is also flawed, as there is casual sex in the heterosexual community as well. Of course, this isn’t looked upon as degradable as homosexuality, but they’re both sins.

A similar comparison can be made with people who have cancer… are doctors purposely keeping them sick to keep the money coming in? Cancer patients shell up hundreds of thousands annually to stay alive..but eventually they die. Of course, they die after spending loads of money on treatments that only slow the process of dying.

I’m gay..no matter how hard I try to find women appealing. It depresses me to the point where I consider suicide at times. My life is pretty good: I’m smart, about to graduate high school, have college offers, great friends (non gay), loving Christian household, and a relationship with God. Unfortunately, being gay ruins all of the positive aspects of my life. If anyone could change, I would be the first in line. Even as a “former homosexual,” on your Exodus “true story” you claim to only be attracted to one women, and don’t find other women appealing. If you still have attractions to men, then you are homosexual. While the definition implies that you’re only gay if you have sex with men, in todays world anyone that is attracted to the same gender is considered a homosexual. It’s a very depressing thought for me. I always thought I would outgrow this, but the more I try to live a holy heterosexual life, the more I seem trapped and depressed. If you can truly change, why do so many homosexuals seem to deny this?? Why are the only “changed” homosexuals in Christian ministries instead of living normal lives like everyone else? Outside of the Christian community, there is virtually NO conversion therapy/reparative therapy whatsoever. Why is this..if it was possible, God would allow people of other faiths (with no access to him) the power to change their desires to live their lives in accordance with Him. I really want to change..I don’t want to let my family down..but I really don’t see it happening. If I can’t please my wife sexually, what is the point of marrying her? I’m only wasting her time and my own..Please someone help me..I’m hanging on by a thread.
