A north Dallas church is sticking to its convictions after it revoked a gay man's membership, saying he no longer desired to resist sin.
In a candid facebook post last Sunday, Jason Thomas wrote about a painful anniversary one year ago about the day Watermark Community Church sent him a letter revoking his membership. Thomas said he spent years of his life in church programs that promised to help him over come his attraction to men. Many of those years was at Watermark Community Church. One program he participated in is described as a "12 step discipleship through recovery", also aimed at helping people with eating disorders, drug abuse and pornography addiction.
"I was told, very convincingly, that I can change my attractions, and that's just not the case." Thomas said.

What libtard website you pull that nonsense off from...?
I have been watching some of the recent cases, and that is the direction many of the liberal groups are moving toward.
See some of the new laws promulgated in California and Massachusetts.
In other words, we are slipping over the edge of the abyss, one lemming at a time, which I see as a sure sign of the intentional dumbing down of public school inmates.

How are they emergent? I’ve been several times and a couple of my children are or have been members. I am curious what you mean.
Perhaps the different campuses have different cultures, so I’m certainly not speaking for all the groups. But the one in Ft Worth (held in the old Camp Bowie Theater) had me shaken to my core in alarm when I left. There wasn’t even a sermon, just a book review.
I’ve been there too. My daughter is a member there. Who was preaching that day and what was the book? I would like to discuss with her.
There wasn’t any preaching, just a book discussion, and that was piped in through a big video screen.
The music is what really turned me off. I needed earplugs.
I don’t mean to pester you. I am truly trying to understand. About when did you go? If Watermark is off base I want to know. Fort Worth is a satellite from Dallas. Have you listened to any other sermons from Todd Wagner? I agree that the music is very loud and not my preference but I am very traditional, and older.
