Dave:
 There is a Long Distance company that doesn't support
these anti-bible activities. LIFELINE!

Me:
The key word above is "THESE" anti-bible activities.  They
do however support those who pervert the Gospel and preach
"another" Jesus and a doctrine different than the one
delivered by the Apostles.

Besides, if I hire a homosexual to clean my gutters have I
put a stamp of approval upon his sexual behavior?  What's
up with that?

Want to stamp out homosexuality?  Preach repentance,
baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins and the infilling of the Very Spirit of God.

Give them a reason to turn from this pain and torment. 

I have friends that are homosexual and they are ANYTHING
but "gay."  Many were abused as children and have no sense
of self worth.  SAD.

They think "I am already RUINED and those that abused me
must have known this or else they wouldn't have treated me
so bad."  Terribly confusing to have someone you love
violate you.  You cannot hate them and you FEEL so bad. 
The natural recourse is to start to hate oneself, since you
love and forgive this other person and the guilt EATS AWAY
at your very soul, YOU must have deserved it.

Then what happens.  You want to be restored and you walk
into a church and WHAM!!! they confirm your deepest fears
and shun you.

Not all homosexuals are vessels fitted to dishonor.

1 Corinthians 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind, 

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are
sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord
Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

I praise God for the Assemblies where homosexuals are just
plain old sinners and those who have obeyed Acts 2:38-39
and Romans 6:1-8 are just plain old sanctified saints of
God, rare as they are and pray that God expand their
borders.
