LGBT Group At Christian School Bans Pro-Life Group From Sexual Health Fair
Daily Caller ^ | 10/23/17 | Ian Miles Cheong

Posted on 10/23/2017 6:53:22 PM PDT by markomalley

A pro-life student group at a Methodist college in Ohio has been denied a spot at the school’s upcoming sexual health fair by the school’s LGBT organization. The pro-life students were informed that their message, which shows the negative effects of abortion, does not promote “sex positivity.”

Baldwin Wallace Allies denied a request for Baldwin Wallace Right-to-Life to participate in the event last week. The pro-life group intended to set up a table to talk about the negative physical and mental effects that abortion can have, and to provide students with knowledge of other options available to pregnant women.

The group’s president, Bryan Istenes, was responding to a request by Jamie Yager, Director of Student Activities, who put out a call for student groups to participate in the November 3 event, which is being sponsored by BW Allies.

“It’s a sexual health fair, and we wanted to educate students about the physical, mental, and emotional consequences of abortion, in order to ensure students were making truly informed choices” said Istenes.

Jake Knowlton and Vex Cassius, the co-presidents of BW Allies, explained to Istenes that their decision to deny the group its request was because they wanted their sexual health fair to “promote sex positivity and sexual health awareness, and based on information we’ve seen promoted by your organization in the past, we do not feel as though it would be an appropriate setting for Right to Life’s message.”

“Your past installments in the Union do not meet our definition of sex positivity and sexual health awareness,” they said.

Istenes disputes Cassius’ and Knowlton’s claim, stating that the only displays that have been set up by the group were the Stop the Violence Tour and a poll on the legality of abortion.

Beyond their rejection by BW Allies, the pro-life group was also recently targeted for writing pro-life messages on campus sidewalks.

“The decision by BW Allies continues an unfortunate strain of prejudice at Baldwin Wallace against pro-life beliefs. Just recently, students bragged on social media about destroying the group’s chalked messages around campus” said Morgan Getts, Ohio Regional Coordinator for Students for Life of America.

The pro-life organization provided The Daily Caller with examples of the materials they intended to distribute at the fair.

The dark side has thoroughly infiltrated “Christian” schools.

Definitely consistent with End Times prophecy.

Christian churches aren’t empty. Methodist churches may well be.

These are not Christian institutions. Jesus says, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he that does the will of My Father Who is in Heaven.” (Matthew 7:21.)

Methodists endorsed abortion some years back. They are often backers of zero population growth.

In August of 2005 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) estabalished a "Full Communion Partnership" with The United Methodist Church.

Therefore:



Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!

* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.

Be rooted in Christ!

Why is anyone a Catholic, Protestant, Non-denominational anymore?

“James 1:27 King James Version (KJV)

27: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

“Matthew 18:20King James Version (KJV)

20: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”

This bares witness to anything, then it is this:

“2 Corinthians 11:3-4King James Version (KJV)

3: But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4: For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”

Traditional Christianity, right or left, is being swallowed up the the “Great Whore of Babylon”.....Why?

Because few walk in this path...

“Isaiah 30:20-21King James Version (KJV)

20: And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

21: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”

There is a tugging to the right and to the left....and Christ, “The Word of God”, blessed us with another inspired scripture.

“Matthew 7:14King James Version (KJV)

14: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

Agree that true Christian churches are surviving. Besides the Methodists, methinks that Episcopal and Presbyterian sects are also having trouble.

They also have no problem with homosexuals in positions of authority in the church. Really the spirit of Jezebel in effect.

A LGBT group at a Christian College? Really, I wonder if they have a Muslim and Satanic Club there, too...

I might argue that abortion kills a baby, who will then never have a chance to have sex.

Is that positivity? Pro sex?

So the RTL people don’t represent “sex positivity” but abortion does. I can only imagine what other unnatural and unhygienic sexual practices will be showcased in a positive light at this event.
