The world has it so backwards. Homosexuality is being forced on people. If you speak out against it, you are told you are infringing on homosexuals’ rights. Yet no one wants to talk about the rights of people who don’t agree with homosexuality.
Years ago, when I refused to care for a homosexual couple having a baby, I was not only ridiculed, but some of the other nurses worked together to give me the toughest patient assignments for several days after the event. That night I ‘traded’ taking care of the homosexual couple for a couple that had just found out they’d lost their baby. I distinctly remember the comments of ‘she would rather care for all the dead babies, so let’s give them to her!’ It was a difficult time & even though it was emotionally draining, I’m glad I was with those grieving parents.
By the way, one nurse came up to me later in the night and let me know she felt the same way about caring for a homosexual couple but just couldn’t bring herself to say anything.
The feelings from that event made me ask myself (for the first time), ‘If homosexuals have rights, why do people who hate homosexuality NOT have rights?’ It only works one way in this world — for the ungodly. But in the next world, well, it only works one way as well, yet it’s for the righteous!

I believe the day is coming that any religious group that calls homosexuality a sin will be publically slammed, including us. Prepare yourselves. We are going to be persecuted by this world. The same thing is happening with Muslims. Just the other day, a well-known radio personality said that it makes him feel a little uncomfortable when he sees Muslims dressed in their garb on the same plane as him. He knows that Muslims are most likely to fly planes into buildings and are most likely to sacrifice their lives. He was being honest and it cost him his job on NPR and his firing is one of the biggest headlines today. The result is to accept or tolerate Muslims, homosexuals, etc., — or suffer the consequences. Satan was slick when he started this equality stuff.

If the media powers fire one of their own, such as Jxxx Wxxx, who happens to have a reasonable thought and expresses it publicly, what in the world will they do to us? We have just had a taste of what it will be like for the men whom God anoints and raises up for the revival that is coming.

Pastor John:
This entire topic keeps me awake nights. I have knots in my stomach from not being able to voice the truth about this, without vehement argument from others, mostly those whom I care for; most of whom need to hear the truth. I am so grieved by the young peoples’ blind attitudes, which they call “tolerance.” I’m not allowed to say anything “negative” or “judgmental” about my daughter’s acquaintances, even though several of them are pitiful, just pitiful. Many of them, on the other hand, though openly homosexual, are well-mannered and nice people, and talented, with great personalities, so my young daughter doesn’t comprehend their spiritual disease because the condition of their lives seems fine to her. They’re popular and they’re funny and witty. But—She is being used, and she doesn’t know it. They are taking advantage of her because they have needy personalities and she is too friendly to everyone. “Live and let live” is their philosophy.
This really outraged me:
Over two years ago, in my daughter’s senior year, the kids started a new “silent” day, a day of remembrance for gay prejudice and mistreatment. Any child who chose to participate was allowed to remain silent all day long, in classes. Of course , some students still answered questions when the teacher tried to teach the class, but many did not. WHEN DID STUDENTS BEGIN TO DICTATE BEHAVIOR LIKE THIS, without Administrative intervention?! The spineless cowards! I went into the office to speak with the principal but only got the vice-principal, who was embarrassed by my inquiry, and sheepishly admitted his hands were tied.
Why? I asked.
Because of the pressure from the students and (he implied) the Board of Education who apparently were pressured into observing this trend by the Gay activists.
It’s NUTS out there!!!
I was also going to visit a presentation by a track and field coach who was a guest speaker who was promoting —get this— transgender and transvestite athletes! In high school! My blood was boiling too much to actually attend because I would have asked him some real questions. Like, for starters —-“which locker room are these people going to use?!!!”
There is an inflammatory childishness, a temper-tantrum mentality, that accompanies these activists. I know, because I was once a supporter of that lifestyle as well, back in the 70’s and 80’s, and i recall MY blood pressure going up when “religious” people would confess the truth, and quote the Bible. When I was on the side of the gays, I had the same temperament. Remember the Anita Bryant fiasco? Well, unfortunately, her rigid Christianity made her an easy target, for she came across as a self-righteous Southern bigot. . . or so I thought. But I’ve watched old videos of her recently and I now realize she was quite rational & reasonable. Nowadays she’d be vilified even worse.
I appreciate what Bob said… Satan was slick when he started this equality/tolerance stuff. It is working, and working fast.
You know that out here in CA we have numerous lesbian ministers, (mostly Methodist and non-denominational) and some have been under pressure and have stepped down, but mostly they are continuing to be accepted and supported. So, Xn congregations are sitting under the preaching and teaching of an openly gay man or woman who claims to follow the Bible. What could be more insane that that? There is a huge trend of gay people going back to “church”, because as long as they remain blind to the scriptures and have no holy Spirit to answer to, and no government—-anything goes. They feel comfortable … and oh so spiritual. Ahhhhh.
Their resemblance to ostriches with their heads in the sand is not merely coincidental.
