I just found out that a close friend of mine went into an ex-gay church, most likely "Choices" by Church of Our Savour.
I'm at a loss right now. What have I done? I should have realised the hints when he told me that he is severing all his ties with all his friends, including me. It is required by Choices for any ex-gay converts to sever all ties with all their friends, gay or straight ones, and accept therapy through Bible study classes and church activities.
I really should have detected it when he told me he wanted to end our friendship - politely.
I don't know what to do now.
It's terrible... how can anyone do this? Cutting friendship ties just to "get cured" of homosexuality when it's just a non-existent illness? What the fuck?
Christianity has already taken so much from me... and now it wants to take away my friends too?
I don't know... I just feel that if no one stands up for whatever shit that is happening at Choices, more people are going to go there, and face a life of denial, where in reality, they are suffering so much more, suppressing their own sexuality just to fit into that perfectly insignificant Bible of yours.
I am so mad right now. How much more harm can you cause to this person by taking away all his friends? It's like a brainwash, because I bet many people have memories with the good friends they have been with, and it is all these good memories that makes up their past. NO ONE can change their past isn't it? And now you are forcing him to forget who he was too?
I hate you. Whoever whom had done this to him. You have no idea what he had been through, and it's all oh-so-easy to offer him Jesus as the way, when you have absolutely no idea about his past, and asked him furthermore to cast all his friends he had for the past 19 years out of his life? You fucking bastards just fail to realise how much we hate what you are doing - tearing people apart, doing every single thing you can just to fulfill your zealousness, accompanied by your own foolishness and naive mindset to even realise how much harm you are bringing upon my friend and whomever that is going through this shit with him.
If ever God made a mistake, that mistake must be you.
