James Voss, a homosexual who attended the Christian school North Central University in Minnesota, but was barred from “graduating while homosexual,” says that at the four months he spent in 2007 trying to cure his gayness at the “comprehensive Christian faith-based solution to life-controlling drug and alcohol problems” outfit Teen Challenge in Muskegon, Michigan, where two hours of each day were spent kneeling in prayer, “we were not ever allowed to look at females directly. Men and women had to sit on separate sides of the chapel and if a woman was singing or giving a testimony she did so behind an office cubical wall so that only her eyes were visible.” Ahem. I’m pretty sure that the quickest way to get gays to remain gay is not letting them even make eye contact with women. But I guess that’s better than getting a bunch of dudes together in the woods while searching for the cure?

One of my friends in my dorm from college came from a good ‘old boy bible thumpin’ state. His parents found he was Gay when he was 15 and shipped him off to a summer camp to be “cured” of the “Gay demons”………
I asked him what it was like, his reply “bunch of Gay boys all crammed together in cabins in the deep woods, hormones raging, lights out at 9pm. What do you think my summer was like?”………. :p

I’m beginning to guess that I missed out on a lot of sex in my younger years by being happy with being gay. If I had tried my damnedest to turn straight, I probably would have gotten much more bear bootie!

how bizarre? Yeah, don’t look at the pretty girls, who we want you to be attracted to. So weird. Crazy bible-thumpers.

@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: Same story with a guy I graduated HS with. He went to college, came home for Thanksgiving & came out to his family. When summer came they packed him off to camp where they did everything short of exorcism. He came home with waaaay more s.e.xperience than he’d had before! He’s still, last I heard with the guy he met there.
Hey, I hope the new year is treating you & yrs well!

I had a good friend in high school who had very conservative parents and he ended up going to a bible college and getting kicked out for hitting on a dude in the dorms. Now he lives in west Hollywood and basically is a waiter and party boy.

EX gays…LOL! They should be rephrased as ex sane. Or “new delusional”
To live your life for others only to wake up old and look back and say “Damn!” I feel so much pitty for those individuals.

I love the idea of Christian gays going to ex-gay boot camp for sex orgies hook-ups and finding life partners. THAT’S the way to look at it. Why didn’t I think of that earlier, geeesh! I mean hey, that’s what priests do, this is just a different venue.
If the staff only knew how accommodating they were being! They could pass out rubbers with little crosses on them, to remind the newly failed renovated NOT to have sex for fear of going to that non existent place called ….um ….yeh right …. “hell”.

PS It’s not an ex-gay boot camp, it’s an ex-gay mating camp.

There is an atheist show on YouTube where they talk about various religion topics. In an episode about “Jesus camp” a guy calls in and talks about his experience. He says that he found a strapon somewhere in the grass. The hosts immediately went “:o” then “:D” and “YAY!”
