The Dublin "apostasy" after Ray Franz incident - searching for the audio testimony of John May
by Nostromo ingoogle is not my friend anymore, it seems, i cant find a thing.. i was searching for the audio file where john may, the elder from dublin, tells his story when he traveled to brooklyn to find out the truth about the ray franz incident.
i do not mean the talk of his that you can find on 4jehovah.org or 4witness.org, this was a different audio testimony where he just basically tells what happened to him and to his irish elder friend merriman when they wanted to discuss the rf issue with the gb.
i had this file once but cant find it anymore.

apologies if I was incorrect. I knew one of his relatives back in the mid nineties and he was in touch with him. The longer I'm out the more nebulous the details get. Hurrah!!

Ach Paul, I just had you pegged as a Perth wide boy and it turns out you're more interesting than that! Which island(s) did you live on? I've got a pal just back from Bernaray and utterly obsessed about buying a blackhouse that's come on the market.

I've talked to a number of people who have tried reparative therapy, and it's a topic that's been explored by a number of gay JWs. None of them have resulted in a gay-to-straight switch. The gay JW support group actively discourages its members from undergoing it as they've concluded that it's mentally harmful. Being celibate for your faith is one thing, but imposing active heterosexuality is another, one that can have unfortunate consequences:

And it's not like there aren't compelling reasons, faith aside, to conform to the heteronormative:

If that sort of persecution doesn't make you straight, will a chat and hug with a tubby, bearded counsellor be any more successful?

BTS, do you suspect that therapy could turn of your attraction to women and switch it to men?

Sexual orientation is not a "choice" and therefore cannot be changed through reparative therapy. If someone doesn't want to practice in same sex intercourse they do have that choice, but that doesn't mean their attraction to the same sex has ceased to exist. Psychology is there to help people and therfore shouldn't give them an unrealistc hope.
