"New Online Private Christian Community Offers Support for Parents and Families of Homosexuals"

[Bluebear]

Isn't this faboo? My second favorite line: "It's a fine line one learns to walk on exhibiting unconditional love". (My favorite line is the last one, when you are told all of this support and "LIVE" prayer and loving fellowship is $180 a year! I'm touched, really touched by this altruistic "ministry".)

HUNTINGTON, Conn., Oct. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- Stephen Bennett, President of Stephen Bennett Ministries, Inc., is pleased to announce the official worldwide launch of a brand new, Web 2.0 private support community for parents and families of homosexuals - www.TheParentsGroup.com.

www.TheParentsGroup.com (TPG) is the brainchild of Stephen Bennett, a former homosexual, now married almost 15 years to his wife Irene. The couple has been ministering full-time to parents of homosexual men and women for over seven years.

"So many parents and families are broken hearted that their child has ended up down a path they never would have expected. We provide these grieving individuals with the support and tools to understand the issue of homosexuality from a biblical, Christian perspective. It's a fine line one learns to walk on exhibiting unconditional love to their child or family member, without condoning the acceptance of their homosexual lifestyle.

"Parents and family members can now apply to join a private, safe community where others are going through exactly the same trials. TPG Members can share their stories, interact with other parents and family members, and express their feelings without condemnation. www.TheParentsGroup.com is a haven of hope and encouragement for those who are hurting. TPG is one of the most unique, tight knit, online communities out there dealing with the issue of homosexuality," said Bennett.

www.TheParentsGroup.com is part of the new "Web 2.0 Revolution" - offering its members a host of new applications and services, including their own personal blog with audio and video capabilities, a place to upload and share personal photo albums and videos, and also participate in live audio and video community chats.

TPG Members can participate in daily and weekly community LIVE prayer, teleconferencing, create their own personal member web pages and so much more. TPG Members can view online teaching videos, listen to and download a variety of testimonies and audio resources on the issue of homosexuality, plus so much more.

www.TheParentsGroup.com is self governed by its community members - Christian parents and families with homosexual loved ones. Parents who have lost a homosexual child to HIV/AIDS find and give support here at TPG, as well as married couples with a spouse struggling with homosexuality, and even former homosexual men and women.

TPG is one of the most unique, interactive, private Christian support communities online, offering support and encouragement 24 hours a day.

Pastors, ministers, parents and others are welcome to apply for membership in this new private community.

www.TheParentsGroup.com is a fee based service utilizing the innovative technology of www.iGrOOps.com, one of the fastest growing Web 2.0 Community/Group providers on the internet. Members accepted into the TPG community pay a monthly fee of only $15 for membership dues.

1. "Unconditional love without condoning the acceptance of their lifestyle"

Whaa?

[Bluebear]

2. It's that unconditional love with conditions galore.

:crazy:

[aquart]

3. The "former homosexual" is getting even.

[YOY]

4. Stephan looks like he's giving me the "behind the bushes" eye

Sorry, Stephan. I don't swing that way. But that's okay man...free country and all.

[formerrepuke]

5. For $99.00 (plus $7 S &H) he sells a 8-CD set w/booklet which cures the gay...

http://www.sbministries.org/
Seems like a bargain (for the incredibly gullible).

[YOY]

7. I'd almost buy it as a joke to send my one (bizarre sense of humor) lesbian friend

She and her partner would crack up listening to it I am sure.

[Az]

6. Its always curious to me

when a person claims to have been homosexual and then turns heterosexual seems to completely forget about bisexual as a possibility. No of course they were somehow 100% homosexual and performed some magical neurological procedure on themselves that suddenly made them attracted to women (or men depending).

Look. No one is 100% hetero or homosexual. Many are closer to one extreme or the other. But a lot exist closer to the middle as well. Attracted to male or females. And if they are into the idea of monogamy then which ever gender they wind up committing to does not suddenly make them 100% hetero/homo. It just means they are spending their time with one person. They are still attracted to people of the other gender.

[Chovexani]

16. Seriously

Then again bisexuals don't exist. :eyes:

I wonder if I don't have to pay taxes anymore since I don't exist.

[meegbear]

8. Love the sinner, hate the sin ... all for the low low price of $15 a month!!1?1!!

There MUST be a catch!

[hatrack]

9. Remember! There is room for all in the Closet of the Lord!

:eyes:

[BootinUp]

10. How often do members get asked for money?

Just curious.

[GoneOffShore]

11. Oops- My 'gaydar' just went off!!!!

Closet alert on Stephen "Wanta come and play?" Bennett.

And I'm straight.

:bounce:

[varun]

12. This really makes me mad

He is exploiting the gullible and actually making the lives of young gays and lsbians more difficult.

But there's a sucker born every minute - as they say. One who buys into this is stupid.

[NMMNG]

13. How special

They give you all the support and ammunition you need to abuse your gay family member--for a price.

[Bluebear]

14. But they have to "accept" you as a member first.

I wonder how many paying members are not "accepted" as members.

[meegbear]

15. Wait a sec now ...

I reread the post and it got me thinking.

"Parents who have lost a homosexual child to HIV/AIDS find and give support here"
Assuming, and I'm sure I'm correct, they take the traditional tact that gays will go to hell if they do not give up the "lifestyle", what type of support do they give? "You're son's comfortably burning in hell?"

[libnnc]

17. Mullets for Jeebus? eom

[and-justice-for-all]

18. "$180 a year"??

Jeebus would be pissed to see that shit.

Just another religious(fraud) money vampire...

[Ilsa]

19. "So many parents and families are broken hearted ...

that their child has ended up down a path they never would have expected."

Yeah, a path of happiness like anyone else that has found their special other person.

[Kurovski]

20. Well...

I for one thank GOD that he's there to help folks make the closet a more comfortable place for everyone to fit into.

[nealmhughes]

21. I honestly did not know they made hair like his any longer. . .

[Kurovski]

22. Perhaps a longstanding fan of Duran Duran?

:shrug:

On edit: He seems to prefer a well-shaped eyebrow as well.

[EFerrari]

23. Sometimes I think that for everyone of these poisonous scams,

we should put up a counter site. TheKidsGroup.Com, for example.

We can charge a fee and donate it to the ACLU.
