Evangelicals Fight Over Therapy To 'Cure' Gays : NPR
First off, everyone pretty much knows that this approach, these “Ex-Gay” ministries have never, ever worked. It’s like praying your eyes will change color. For years, various groups have tried it.
And made a shitload of cash in the process. So it made sense to keep them around. Nothing like buying your third house on people’s pain. A pain you, as a minister, helped create. These individuals made people feel guilt; then told them they needed special, special therapies that only they could offer.
Sorta like a drug deal.
Here’s the thing I can’t seem to find in any of these announcements from Exodus International. This is a massive cash cow for many a Christian organization. Especially Focus on Your Family. I can’t see the angle they’re playing. The article mentions that Exodus will still be around, but it doesn’t say in what capacity.
Hmmm. I don’t trust them. Go figure.
Let’s be careful out there.
Peace,
Bardy
