1. Sharing their every sexual experience?
What kind of sick joke is THAT? I do NOT want to hear about my children's sex lives, straight or otherwise.

Somebody was getting a whole LOT of jollies out of this, I think.

which holds that part of the healing come by putting certain things into practise.

one of those is to tell your sponsor every wrong that you did -- and in cases where appropriate make amends.

the secong is to build a character defect profile and keep a personal inventory.

what they seem to be advocating or practising is some kind of amalgam of those practises.

but since gayness is not a dysfunction -- it's difficult to see where this would lead.
because it wouldn't ''cure'' you.

if someone is ''straight'' with an adventerous sex life but an over active guilt complex then this would what? i can't imagine -- keep sex dirty or something?

4. And in a group setting of a bunch of people trying to deny their own
sexualality? Group therapy as porn flick? Give them all something else to feel guilty about?

2. Not only sad, but in my mind, abusive and criminal
I swear. . .these "ministries" should be shut down and the perpetrators institutionalized.
