Question by Bob T: Do Christians know Ex-gay therapy dosent work?
OK so I am gay. I have been coming to terms with this my whole life. I enjoy my close bond with God and I like studying scripture. I recently asked this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Am9U_4Z290SEUg2arah9jqnsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20120624132427AAsjARk

hoping to get answers about being gay in a conservative church.

Most people are telling me I can pray the gay away. Do they know you can not change? That everyone from American Psychiatric Association to Dr. Phil have said that it is dangerous to try and change? Do they know this or do they just refuse to believe being gay may actually be harmless/something your born with

just an example. Also explore NARTH and those who left exodusinternational

Question by Galatians; 5-1: Why Would a Religious Organization, Professing Having the “Truth” also have, a “Drug Rehabilitation Center”?
This group has denied they have a “drug problem” within their “Organization” How did this happen with all the promises of happiness, and real LOVE?

They are not being persecuted for righteousness sake, so why are so many members seeking rehab for major drug abuse?
God said He would not allow His people to be tested “beyond what they could endure”…so why the heavy drug use?

No Hannah…I exposed it, why don;t you explain it?
This rehabilitation center is not legally able to use the name “Jehovah’s Witnesses” unless they have a legal license to do so. The WTBTS would have to give their permission, based on rehab instructions that are tailored to the Church of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

I hope you are not uncomfortable if you ever have to go there.

Answer by Khakidoodle
Christians are human, as are all faiths, and we live in the world, and drug abuse may not be common in mature Christians, but it does and will happen, and many are defensive about it.
