Activists Will Target Churches Who Counsel LGBT People, Therapist Warns ‘God’s Voice’ Conference
Christian Post ^ | 2/27/19 | Michael Gryboski

A psychotherapist has warned a Christian conference opposed to queer ideology that if LGBT activists successfully ban secular counseling for people with unwanted same-sex attraction, they will next go after religious counselors.

A conference known as “God’s Voice: A Biblical Response to the Queering of the Church” was held Feb. 22-23 at Fairview Baptist Church of Edmond, Oklahoma.

David Pickup, a licensed therapist who is a board member at the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) and a practitioner of sexual orientation change efforts therapy, spoke at the God’s Voice conference last weekend.

During his remarks, Pickup warned his audience that for the state legislators trying to ban SOCE therapy, “the next step is to come after you.”

“It’s going to happen in your universities, it’s going to happen in your schools, in your elementary schools if you don’t conform to the new ‘sex education’ curriculum,” said Pickup.

“They try to get at psychotherapists first, and then they’re coming after church counselors and the church. They’re smart, folks. They know what’s coming and they know what they’re doing.”

[The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns—which likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in unnatural vice and sensual perversity—are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire.

(New Testament, Jude 1:7, Amplified Bible)

This is why you annihilate the wicked when they first appear.

Exactly why.

“...This is why you annihilate the wicked when they first appear. Exactly why.....”

Exactly.
In the beginning, it was just: “we just want to come out of the closet, be accepted for who we are and not be harassed, etc....” Now look at em.
They need to be forcefully pushed back into the closet, the closet door locked and the key thrown away.

The Bible is very clear
Making babies is God’s plan
Only one way to do that
And. Who wants to kill them ?

practitioner of sexual orientation change efforts therapy,

Reading the quote from article just tells you how effed up this country really is.

To even have a person that practices this make me shake my head.

The garden we call America definitely needs weeding.
