Two great documentaries on SSA

To me this looks more like a pro-gay rather than ex-gay documentary. I've never heard of the ex-ex-gay movement before.

Hi treepainter, nice to hear back from you. I bet it's really frustrating to see so little progress in how the church deals with SSA. It's bad enough that they don't talk about P and MB. And SSA is so common. You are so not alone. I wish we had better strategies in place for dealing with it.

Exodus International is gone. Many churches are giving up calling those dealing with SSA to leave The old ways. The churches that are against SSA have no clue how to handle it. Quite honestly, we've lost a lot of confidence in what we believe. That's assuming we had the confidence to begin with. The ex-gay ministry is getting destroyed.

Treepainter, this is not easy. I may not have SSA, but I know what it is to be sexually broken. My heart goes to those struggling with SSA. That along with SA, PA, MB, and criminal sexual behavior. But trust me on this one. It IS worth it to continue this journey that you're on. If you choose to live a life of sexual stability, that won't be easy, and you'll have to choose it for yourself. BUT IT IS SO WORTH IT!

Speaking of choosing, you'll need to be intrinsically motivated to do this. You can't​ do it because some preacher says it's bad, or because your family and friends say it's bad, or the world says it's bad. You have to decide for yourself that you want to change and you'll have to find reasons to change that will speak directly to your heart. For myself, not even God's Word was intrinsically motivating enough for me to surrender my addiction to Him.

And ultimately, God calls us to a point of unconditional surrender. That feeling we get when we have sex, or feel love, that has to go. Until we're left with nothing. Crazy faith. Nothing to lose faith. And then, only then, after we've surrendered these sex desires to God, will we see the pain of everyone around us. We will see how important it is to have God's Sacrificial love. We will see the importance of viewing ourselves as the bride of Christ. And we will see how marriage between a man and a woman, as challenging as it may be, is a picture of God.

But you gotta take that plunge of faith into Oblivion. You have to surrender your privilege to feel good, to experience life and pleasure as you know it. So many fail at this endeavor. But it is so worth it! Trust me. It is.

You can't do this alone. You need friends. You have a friend in me. So reach out and experience God's love because you ARE so loved here.

This is a difficult area because there are so many differing views on same-sex attractions and how to handle it if it is unwanted.

Do you, Treepainter and Kevin, think the above videos hinder more then help?

I guess the documentary threw me for a loop because I thought I knew where they were coming from at first but then I was startled when it changed direction. It showed people who were exactly where I'm at and it looked like they had gotten the courage to do what deep down they had always wanted. I went away doubting what I believe for a little while especially because of the comments "now at age twenty-seven I finally had my first kiss and it was awesome; I felt no condemnation", and "my family is very disappointed in my choice, but they don't understand what the truth actually is". It makes it harder for me that one of my very close friends is homosexual and married (to a woman) and he is losing faith in God and Christianity and leaning toward just accepting the gay lifestyle. (although he's fine with my position.)
And yes I saw Dennis Jernigan's testimony; it's one of the best testimonies I've ever seen. I love his song called "Daddy's Song". I recommend it to everyone on this site because it's applicable to sexual brokenness in general.

Yes I love 'Daddy's Song'! I cried 

That's intriguing. Thanks, will, for your interest and support in this area of the forum, even though you said you don't struggle with SSA. It means a lot.
