Quote:A TOOWOOMBA Christian ministry run by a former lesbian claims to be able to heal people of their homosexuality.

Triumphant Ministries Toowoomba was founded by Kathleen Malligan, who says she was "delivered from her lesbianism by Jesus Christ".

Ms Malligan says on the ministry's website she can help people who "want freedom and deliverance from a lifestyle of homosexuality".

"I was lesbian, sex addicted yet without gender confusion," she said.

"It will be 19 years in December 2014 since I have been in a lesbian relationship or had sexual intimacy with any woman.

"Today I no longer identify with being a lesbian, but a woman who is restored and heterosexual, who has this attraction but who has to guard her heart against this homosexual lust coming back to life again."

Ms Malligan says she can give homosexuals the knowledge and skills to repair their "sexual brokenness".

Toowoomba artist Reece Murray, 21, left school in grade 11 after he was bullied for being gay and said it was an insult to claim being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered was something to be freed from.

"I know that this woman is kidding herself. You can't change your sexuality for anyone."

"The fact that this is still going on in this day and age infuriates me.

"Every gay friend I have has had some sort of difficulty being gay in Toowoomba."

After watching liberals in action over the past year or two, it's becoming clear that their little experiments are to blame for a large segment of people claiming to be gay.

It's so insincere for gays to say your sexuality can't be changed. There's a reason they chase so hard after young boys.

Somebody better hide this thread from JD, or else he'll be putting y'all on ignore for being bigots. Or, something.

I'm still skeptical of these places but I certainly find myself on their side in the face of groups wanting to shut them down to further their unproven point.

I doubt their success rates are much to brag about but yeah, if someone seeks help they shouldn't be denied because someone else prevents it. Hell, Alcoholics Anonymous only has like single digit success rates. Drug rehab is abysmal also.

That doesn't sound "cured" to me. It sounds like a person who is suppressing her natural desires for religious reasons. More power to her, but she certainly is not "cured" for the obvious reason there is nothing to be cured from.

Nothing to be cured from? Sure there is. It's abnormal.

I suppose you don't think a little boy who wants to wear dresses aught to be corrected either.

But they do try to cure old men who like little girls, don't they? Otherwise, why the treatment, the counseling, the focus groups, the jail time?

Im not afraid of dissenting opinions. The people I put on ignore offer no value to threads. They hurl insults, spout baseless opinions, refuse to acknowledge valid points or counters, bring one debate into another, openly attack posters like you just did unprovoked, and have the maturity of a 7 year old. I get no joy from reading their posts and actually leave them feeling slimey or personally accosted.

You defconn, fit that to a T. Theres a reason 800 posts in that you have a rating of 3. In 800 posts maybe 3 of them actually helped foster nice discourse, likely by accident. So welcome to my ignore. You, torch, and okla get the privilege of being the only 3 I've ignored in 4+ years.

It's all about self control, I'm not sure you can teach that. You can support those trying to exercise it. Just like.... alcoholics.

Of course they do. There is a huge distinction between the two however. In the case of two consenting homosexuals, there is no victim. In the other, there obviously is. Pedophilia is a mental disorder that has an exceedingly low rate of recovery.

Once an alcoholic....always an alcoholic...once a drug addict...always a drug addict. You can stop both things with pure willpower. Kinda looks like the same thing IMO here. I don't have a problem with it either. Whatever.

Question, while one doesn't have a victim and one does, they are still both deviant behavior. Why does having a victim make one a mental disorder and one not?

deviant - departing from usual or accepted standards, especially in social or sexual behavior

Please explain why every other disorder or behavior under the sun can be treated or help provided except for this one thing. Everything, everything, everything, you can seek and receive help for if you so desire. What makes homosexuality the one exception.

Damn, must be an awful lot of queers in the American Psychological Association.

Have you sought help for your homophobia? It doesn't appear to have helped. Just exercise your willpower and maybe it'll go away, or maybe God will lift it from you if you ask him to.
