My 14-year-old has a same sex attraction..... (page 5)

wednesday

From what I recall from my psycholo9gy classes, same sex crushes are a normal stage of development . Of course she may be gay, but very likley she is just going through this stage. If it turns out she is gay, well, she has a very enlightend parent and her life will be easier than those who went before her. Really, as was said, don't make more of this than is needed. I just wanted to say, that I don't agree with Blessed star regarding homosexuality. I feel she was not abusive, she seemed actaully very concerned. If we just refuse to listen to views different than our own, especially when they are done in what I felt was a respectful manner, are we not just like JWS ? They are so afraid to listen to others views, so afraid they will be swayed. I don't think she was bashing or rude or violated any rules here. She has a sincerely held viewpoint. I felt Gretchen's response to her was excellent. She talked to her, and showed her by her own experience how and why she held her viewpoint.

Actually there is convincing evidence that some people are "born that way"

just as murderers are not born that way.

I think in some cases that is wrong too. Some people are born with a tendency towards violent behavior.

Actually that is called "Generation Curses". There is a huge difference between being born a certain way and having generation curses.

What you post is opinion not fact. Science and research reveals a lot more than you would be comfortable to acknowledge.

Let me state here: When you make a post on this forum you will find the following below the posting box:

Insulting, threatening or provoking language
Inciting hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic.
Swearing, using hate-speech or making obscene or vulgar comments

Many of your comments fall too closely into these categories.

Blessed,

perhaps what happens during gestation has more to do with what a child will become, even more than previouly thought. I saw a program that showed that men and women's brains are "hard-wired" differently, and it is caused by the infuluence of hormones. on the fetus . The program was discussing homosexuality, criminal behavior etc.

I have had raised children.. I have found that each had their unique distinct personality form birth, and they were actually "born that way' as we say. While children are influenced by environment, so much of what they are and will become is already there. This is a fascinating area to learn about.

I have never heard of "Generation Curses". I decided to search under that rediculous name. Sure enough, I was right. There were 5 pages dealing with "Generation Curses" and the very first page only dealt with religious thoughts on this.

Is this just a religious, judgmental thought? I find it absolutely absurd.

I did a little poking on this generation curse stuff, too. There were 1000+ hits on the phrase. When I excluded pages that used the words "bible", "god" and "demon" it dropped to less than 400.

Among the ones that remained, the idea seemed to be that if I beat my kids, they will grow up and beat their kids. Statistics surely bear that out. So it's sort of "nature or nuture" question. And reasonably, it's a nice mix of both.

But of course, they were talking about beating, murder, drug abuse and the like. It seems a bit off-the-mark to try to apply this to homosexuality.

The world today is saying that is normal behaviour...but that is a HUGE LIE according to the teaching of the Bible. God never intended that behaviour. That is why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

I googled this too. In my own case this is true. My father grew up in a abusive home with unloving parents, he then married and had the same kind of relationship with his wife and was abusive to me . I grew up and sought out a similar relationship. But I broke the"curse" b/c I got THERAPY and found out why. My children have gotten Therapy . We stop the "curse ".

I've heard and read about generation curses and it has nothing to do with genes. Generation curses are true and can be broken by the power of God.

My life is normal in every respect except for who I sleep with.

I dunno if your partner would agree with that......
