THE GAY COMMUNITY MAY BE ONLY 2% OF POPULATION BUT THEY GET A LOT OF ATTENTION AND HAVE TOO MUCH CONTROL IN TOO MANY AREAS OF OUR SOCIETY AND CULTURE

You night find what some of the gay sites were saying about YWAM before the shootings. Use caution if you choose to follow up on any of the links

"Various web sites on the Net feature accusations against the Youth With A Mission Organization for 'brainwashing' and 'cult' behavior. One of these, RickRoss.com, hosts letters sent in by some previous members of YWAM, calling it a "corrupt organization" and "dangerous". Author Harold Bussell, in his book By Hook or by Crook: How Cults Lure Christians, claimed it took nearly seven years before he could "overcome the psychological damage caused by [YVAM's] cult-like control and spiritualization," according to ApologeticsIndex.org.

The Youth With A Mission organization may be most notable for its rumored controversial participation in the creation of the Path to 9/11 miniseries for ABC, according to ThinkProgress.org. The miniseries was promoted as being based on the government's 9/11 Commission Report. Path to 9/11 was criticized heavily in the media and among politicians for its 'inaccuracies' and negative portrayal of Bill Clinton's administration.

The Youth With A Mission organization, some of its members and its founder, Loren Cunningham, have been linked to various anti-gay organizations and leaders. Cunningham, in his book Making Jesus Lord: The Dynamic Power of Laying Down Your Rights, called the idea of gay marriage "extending moral wrongs as legal rights". A flyer posted in San Francisco earlier this year by RickRoss.com accused Youth With A Mission of "repeated harassment" of gays, according to SFIST.com.
