'Finding' Rosie O'Donnell: The 'Rosie Empire' crashes in another celebrity's 'self-outing'
American Family Association ^ | 12/09/02 | Stephen Bennett

Posted on 12/10/2002 6:39:14 AM PST by Buffalo Bob

For years, comedienne and television personality Rosie O'Donnell has entered millions of homes and brought smiles to many faces. Her national television show, 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show,' earned its top spot as one of daytime's top rated talk shows. Rosie has a wit about her like I've never seen in any other comic. She has a way of relating to people as just your everyday 'girl next door.' But as Rosie revealed to America back in March of this year, she was far from what we perceived. And unfortunately once again, the saying remains true: 'What goes up, must come down.' America has seen the rise and fall of Rosie O'Donnell. We've watched this funny woman from Long Island, New York, plagued with turmoil throughout her entire childhood - self-destruct. Yet in an attempt to try and resolve a lifelong inner conflict, Rosie made the fatal mistake that so many other celebrities have: openly declaring their homosexuality. For Rosie, that was the beginning of the end.

Today, the Rosie empire has collapsed. Her television show is over. Her short lived 'Rosie Magazine' is done, the publisher Gruner + Jahr now suing her for over 100 million dollars. Much of her traditional family fan base has abandoned her. Even the 'gay' community has not been there for her as she had expected.

Countless reports of depression, prescription medication and over eating fill the tabloids, with photos of Rosie which are less than desirable. Rosie sacrificed all on the altar of homosexuality.

Diane Sawyer, of ABC's Primetime Live, interviewed Rosie this past March of 2002. The two hour infomercial for homosexuality and 'gay' parenting was one of the highest rated shows of the year. Even if you missed the interview, the producers wanted to make sure they got their pro-gay propaganda across in the show's title, 'Rosie's Story: For The Sake of the Children.' (On a side note: ABC, owned by parent company Disney, seems to have a ‘special place’ in their heart for the 'gay' issue.)

Rosie followed her Primetime Live special with a second Diane Sawyer interview the following week, revealing more intimate details about her distressed past and a look into her sad 'present.' Rosie was clearly trying to tell America something about herself.

Her trip into Bill O'Reilly's 'No Spin Zone' gave us even a clearer picture of this woman's confused life.

Finally, in her autobiography 'Find Me,' Rosie gave us all the missing puzzle piece we needed: Rosie is still trying to 'find' herself.

Last week, much of the media celebrated the birth of Rosie's newest addition to her 'alternative family.' Kelli Carpenter, Rosie's live-in lesbian lover, gave birth to 'their' child Vivienne Rose O'Donnell on November 29.

Many Americans are naturally confused by the reassignment of the baby's last name. Those who are still trying to figure out this new ‘homosexual family’ thing are asking the question, ‘In her eyes, does that make Rosie the husband and father?’

Publicity photos of Rosie and baby were recently released to the media. Even conservative Fox News, so called 'fair and balanced,' congratulated the couple on the arrival of their new 'cutie patootie.' The lesbians are both legal guardians to Rosie's adopted child Blake and Kelli is seeking legal guardianship of Rosie's two other adopted children.

I'm sorry, but it never ceases to amaze me how far as a society we have digressed. Clearly, we are a nation in complete rebellion against the God of all creation. May He have mercy on us.

My heart breaks for this woman who is no doubt 'troubled.'

In her book 'Find Me,' Rosie alludes to some type of abuse (possibly sexual) by a male close to her. The broken mother-daughter relationship caused by her mother’s death traumatized Rosie as a little girl. This left a profound gaping wound inside which never healed. Her relationship with her father was not one to be desired. Several media outlets have also reported her brother is openly 'gay.’

Without question, her dysfunctional childhood carried over into her dysfunctional life today.

With all of her success, wealth and fame, Rosie still lacks something no money can buy: self acceptance. By publicly declaring her homosexuality, she was desperately hoping America would embrace her and say 'we love and accept you for who you are.' Then and only then, maybe she might be able to finally accept herself.

You see, I have a real heart and compassion for Rosie O'Donnell. It's scary how closely our lives parallel each other. I can honestly say, "I've walked a million miles in her shoes."

Almost the same age, we share the same backgrounds, same love for the theatre and the arts, same painful childhoods, same loss of mothers we both loved. Oddly enough, we both even have little sons named 'Blakie.'

As a former homosexual, I constantly strove for other's acceptance of my homosexuality in hopes I would someday be able to accept myself. Yet as a homosexual, self acceptance never came. And for Rosie O'Donnell, it never will either.

This is the crux of America's 'gay' rights movement. Homosexual men and women are demanding America's acceptance of their aberrant, unnatural lifestyle, in hopes they will be able to eventually accept themselves. Yet no matter what laws are passed, no matter what acceptance others may give, homosexuals will never be able to truly accept themselves. That's just not the way God made them. I know it, they know it and deep down, I believe Rosie knows it, too.

In 1992, my self acceptance came when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. My eyes were opened to the truth of the homosexual deception. The veil of wickedness was removed from my heart. I realized my countless ‘gay’ partners and my long term relationship with my male lover was no more than two men 'playing house.' Through God's Word, the Bible, I saw my homosexuality for what it really was: sin.

Today, I am no longer 'gay,' but very happily married to my wife of almost 10 years. We also have two beautiful little children - a boy and a girl. I am completely heterosexual, through and through - the way God made me.

God's message of love, hope and deliverance for the homosexual is one I have been called to the forefront of America to proclaim: that no one is born 'gay,' in most cases has everything to do with one's childhood and homosexuals can completely change.

As for Rosie O'Donnell, I know one day we'll meet and I'll personally share with her how Jesus Christ changed my life. I’ll tell her how much God loves her and how Jesus wants to set her free as well.

Rosie's freedom will not come from two lesbians playing house, adopting children together and pretending they are a ‘family.’ No, Jesus Christ alone is the answer Rosie is looking for.

How sad, yet prophetic the title of Rosie’s autobiography, Find Me - for that is exactly what God is asking Rosie to do.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13

God wonderfully made Rosie and created her for His glory. She needs to see her lesbian lifestyle for what it really is - a counterfeit and sin before a Holy God. Only then will Rosie 'find' herself - when she truly finds Jesus Christ.

I’m an optimist and one who believes in the life changing power of Christ. No one is too far from the reach of the love of God - not Stephen Bennett, nor Rosie O’Donnell.

Frankly, I’m looking forward to that next Diane Sawyer interview when Rosie comes before all of America and testifies how she 'found' herself - at the foot of the cross on a hill called Calvary. What a day that will be!

Faith-based arguments are inherently irrational and have no place in logical discussions.

Sez you. All forms of thought, including rational thought, are ultimately faith-based.

Well if there is zero point zero percent for chance of change of a homosexual, what is it that physically will not change that makes a person a homosexual ? If its not genes that determines a person's sexual hunger & desires, what does ? Is it also a zero point zero percent chance for a complete hetrosexual to be changed into a homosexual ?
Were you just repeating something here that you have been told or read ? That's ok if you are.
Where's the source of your info ?

Au contraire, mon frére. I never claimed that homosexual orientation was a pathological condition ( = a disease). I claimed (and maintain) that it is a disordered desire, a twisted version of a natural psychological function. It is not a pathology in the medical sense (i.e. a condition of an organ, tissue, or fluid produced by genetic, viral or bacterial disease); it is a spiritual disorder with psychological effects. Just as there is no "drunk gene", there is no genetic basis for homosexual orientation; the disordered desire for same-sex relations manifests itself through homosexual behavior just as the disordered desire for drink is manifested by alcoholic behavior.

As the Catechism points out, no one knows what causes homosexual orientation, and, as I pointed out, it hardly matters; no one knows why some people can't handle booze, either. In both cases, it is the behavior that results from the orientation that is the problem, not the orientation itself. In the final analysis, homosexuality is a spiritual and psychological disorder that must be treated using spiritual and psychological means. Allowing such desires to master oneself, trying to rationalize them, or turning one's disordered desires into a badge of honor (the "gay community") makes as much sense as building one's life based upon one's "natural identity" as a drunkard.

There's nothing presumptuous about stating that homosexuality is a sick perversion or that God Himself has called in an "abomination."

Absolutely! Only the spiritually dead or crippled will disagree (one should be along shortly).

...was chaired by Robert Spitzer...

Oh yes, the chap who authored the study confirming that homosexuality can be cured. Nice to know that he's learned something since his error many decades ago.

Actually, there's no way to "prove" anything. The idea of "proof" is one of the more pernicious fables of the Rationalist/Materialist mythos. All we have is evidence (based upon sensory impressions), which we analyze in the light of experience using human rational judgement to arrive at a conclusion. Such conclusions are merely working hypotheses, useful for dealing with the world on a day-to-day basis but not demonstrably true in any meaningful sense.

With this in mind: the evidence for a "gay gene", rationally examined in the light of experience, is not convincing. Therefore, lacking better evidence, we can safely say that no such thing as a "gay gene" exists.

And even if better evidence pointing to the existence of a "gay gene" were found, what of it? Such evidence would only support the case for a pathologic origin to homosexual orientation -- hardly a win for the homosexual lobby. "I guess it really is a mental illness after all" is probably not the conclusion the pro-sodomy forces want the public to draw...

Already posted. See my post 53
That's wild. Thanks for the link & your accurate reporting of those studys. I never realized people have done such stupid things as mentioned in those studys to convert people from homosexual behavior to hetrosexual(such as looking a nude pictures of opposite sex,etc.etc). I can truly see how the rate of change was 0.0%.
Unfortunately though, your link of those studies do not address my question. If a person's sexual desires are a result of physical characterists, how can I see it? Otherwise, you are asking people to accept the denominator of all these studies & conclusions by faith. It also seems you say a person can be a homosexual without having homo sexual sex ?... I can understand that if you are saying that the person still has homosexual desires in his/her thoughts. Is that what you are saying?

Although similar brain differences have since been observed in homosexual rams.

If the ram can't talk and communicate his thoughts, how can someone determine that the ram is homosexual ? By your standards, having sex with another male ram is not sufficient evidence to determine the ram is homosexual.
As a side note, I have raised dogs for a very long time. I have had many "horny" dogs. That will hump any and everything they can get their paws on,including another male dog. Is this dog a homosexual ? Or would a male dog that wants to be on the recieving end be homosexual ? Cause bro, I have'nt seen that one yet.
I've yet to know a male dog that would smell a female dog in season and refuse to want sex with the female, but instead seek out sex with a male dog only. If you have any evidence to the contrary of this, please point it out.

The New Butt Order® (NBO) media will never, ever allow Rosie on camera to be a witness for Jesus.

If I remember correctly, one of the women on The View said "Thank you, Jesus." The editors censored the "J-word" in the West Coast broadcast of the show. Can anybody help me out on this one?
