  Reparative therapy??

  by Junction-Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this is a long shot, as the jw cult was always reluctant to allow their members to seek therapy outside of the religion.. .

  for those that have been keeping up on my latest revelation, you know that i have been confused sexually.

  what im wanting to know is if anyone here has been through gay reparative therapy, what were the benefits?

  My Junction,

  Don't know if you read my post on your other tread. Homosexuality is more than just inward attractions. If you aren't actively pursuing men sexually yet you have attractions without the desire to actually have sexual relations, this equates to inner turmoil.

  I have heard wonderful testimonies from Exodus. Because of my core belief system I would personally reccommend receiving counsel from a group that is founded on Biblical principles. If you are dealing with sexual abuse in your past (I don't recall actually reading this, it is just my assumtion) , you will most likely need to go through a lot of therapy to uncover your persceptions about sex in general and your own sexuality.

  By the way, are you a Christian now? For some reason I thought I remember reading your posts a while back and thinking that you are a Christian. If so, Exodus can really be of great value. I have always been privately intrigued by alternative lifestyles and pay close attention to these kinds of ministries.

  Excuse me for my confusion Q-Bert, but how in the world can you say you are not a jw but you have been actively participating in worship with them since 1989?

  This doesn't make a lick of sense to me. Can you explain?

  We use to have a beautiful 20X60 greenhouse. My husband wouldn't let me come near the thing but it was a showcase. He had 60 ft of peppers....all sorts. He would eat the Thai Hots right off the vine. The man is crazy. He lost 20 lbs that summer just from the heat speeding up his metabolism.

  Thanks Frannie for the tip. My market is primarily women so I thought this article might interest most as Spring is in the air! yeah!

  I will keep your info and possibly post it in the next newsletter.

  I don't know your story as I am relatively new here but I found your post very interesting.

  I myself has struggled with my thoughlife for as long as I can remember. I don't consider myself bi-sexual. I am human. But as a Christian I have been torn inside because of these thoughts. I'm not sure when it all started but at a very young age I was very sexually curious and knew about (and participated) in things that I have absolutely no idea how I knew about them. My sister and I have never sat down and gone into detail (it would take a few drinks) but we both suspect sexual abuse based on behaviors as children. Quite honestly, as an adult I have some real hangups.

  Anyway, I was speaking with my husband in the car the other day about transexuals. Oh man, you don't even want to know where he went with this one. But, he did make one very interesting comment to me. He said, "We are all human. We all struggle with our thoughts and desires. I don't care how macho a man is, they can't tell me they haven't thought about sex with another man. The same goes for women. We are all the same and we all struggle inside. It doesn't mean we are going to act on it."

  Boy, did I ever have fun with that. He didn't want to personalize it for himself but I have to admit, that was the most freeing comment I had heard come out of his mouth.

  By the way, many women get "crushes" on other women but it isn't necessarily in a sexual way. I know I have over the years and I certainly didn't want to sleep with any of my friends.

  Mr Junction - you may NOT be gay. You may just be in touch with your feminine side (just kidding) . I encourage you to get counselling and sort things out. I would also suggest surrounding yourself with solid Christian teachers who are going to lift you up and come along side you as a brother. Run from those who are going to tear your up to shreds as a person. Jesus would not have done that.
