Lesbian mother and teens reach agreement over lifestyle
Kimla Green says she's willing to put aside her homosexuality in order to have her two girls come home. By Chris Adams ABC13 Eyewitness News (8/19/02) — It's a very private family drama that is now being played out in a very public way in court, with daughters against their mother.
This is a family torn apart by conflicts over homosexuality, the role of religion and the struggle to balance some very difficult facts of life.
Kimla Green walked into a family law courtroom Monday with one simple goal.
"I just want my kids back home right now," said teen girls' mother, Kimla Green.
Green acknowledges that she is sexually attracted to women and that she has brought women to the home she once shared with her two daughters, ages 16 and 17.
The family was before a judge Monday because the two teens asked the court to declare them independent because they object to their mother's gay lifestyle.
For now the girls are with their aunt. Their mother says it didn't have to come to this.
But the girl's attorney, John Breeze said, "Well, obviously there's always two sides to every story."
A Harris County judge transferred to the case Fort Bend County. But in the interim, the two sides appear to have struck a deal.
"We're hoping to have the court read our agreement or hear our agreement and say that it is in the best interest of the children and that will hopefully be the judgment," said the mother's attorney, Lee Jeronimo.
Green says the two girls have been unduly influenced and interfered with by the church they've been attending.
The new deal makes both Green and her daughters give up something.
"Well, my agreement is not to show any type of homosexual lifestyle in front of my kids or to do anything that makes them feel uncomfortable concerning the gay lifestyle. I agree to that as long as they agree not attend the Body of Christ Ministry because of all the brainwashing going on," said Green.
The agreement would reunite the family. It still needs to be approved by a Fort Bend County judge. Everyone's expected back in court there later this month.
The Body of Christ Ministry declined to comment about the case.
Now, if you have insight into the pastor's exact comment, please post it and refute the article.
Otherwise, I see no reason NOT to believe two independent sources reporting what he said.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth NOT is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Looks like being gay is along the same lines as being a drunk....hmmmm
Quick, somebody let Jesus know....btw, we are all sinners. Knowing that Jesus has died for us/our sins is all one needs to know. Ask for mercy and be humble before the Lord and He will save you...all of us.
Did you SEE Monica do Bill?
What did the preacher say EXACTLY?
Reminds me of Billy Graham's sermon on the wind and faith.
Quick!! Get rid of the parts of the Bible that don't make us 'compassionate' conservatives!! Yes, we continue to pray for those that are lost, but we are not supposed to associate with them let alone worship with them. BTW, do you think sexual immorality covers homosexuality?
Dan
I stand corrected.. I hadn't seen that in the original post
What a judgmental statement.
Those who don't know they are in sin won't seek forgiveness of their sins. Love does not declare that evil is good. Sin is sin. The scriptures say that an open rebuke is better than silent love. That rebuke leads the sinner to repentance. Your version of liberal love leads the sinner to more sin.
Please, please do not take anything that I am saying as being a "compassionate conservative"....Bush is huge disappointment to me.
What makes you think that you know all of the sexual exploits of the people in your church? If you did, perhaps you would have to worship all alone.
