Graham Calls for Boycott of Pro-Gay Businesses
http://www.cbn.com ^ | June 8, 2015 | CBNNews.com

Posted on 06/08/2015 8:22:13 AM PDT by NKP_Vet

Franklin Graham is calling on Christians to boycott businesses that fund and promote the gay activist agenda.

Graham made the comment on Facebook, announcing that his ministry is pulling its accounts from Wells Fargo Bank because they're using a same-sex couple in their ads.

"This is one way we as Christians can speak out," Graham said. "We have the power of choice. Let's just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against almighty God's laws and His standards."

Gay activist bloggers are mocking Graham, saying it will be nearly impossible to do what he says because so many businesses now support the gay agenda.

In an earlier Facebook post, Graham called on Christians to pray for Supreme Court justices as they prepare to rule on gay marriage.

Graham said declaring same-sex marriage a constitutional right would be a "wicked, wicked thing," adding, "The only hope we have is prayer."

"Imagine tens and tens and tens of thousands of Americans praying for God to hear their prayers and to change the hearts of these justices," Graham continued. "He might just do that."

I cannot argue with anything that you’ve said, and to be honest, your arguments make sense to me, especially as they relate to the Nazi party.

I also particularly agree with this-

“What we have been seeing lately appears to run true to form. Those “Gay Wedding” cases we have been hearing about were caused by homosexuals specifically seeking out people who would object, just so they could file lawsuits against them. They didn’t want consenting people, they wanted people whom they could dominate. They wanted to use the legal system to effectively force people into doing something against their will, and if you have done any studying of the issue of homosexuality, you recognize this behavior immediately.”

This is what I have observed in their behavior, and it bothers me greatly.

If a person decides that, for whatever reason, they want to attend a gay wedding, then that is their choice. But to force a person who does not want to participate into participating or otherwise face ruination is obscene.

I mean it is one of the worst things I have ever seen people do, and to call it a proxy for rape, I think, is an accurate statement.

Another thing that I have noticed in my watching of Investigation Discovery is that certain cases that involve gay male serial killers are particularly violent. They tend to feature imprisonment of victims with prolonged torture and repeated rape followed in the end by their murder.

Other times they involve sadistic sex acts that are so far from the norm that it just boggles the mind.

Some of the worst most horrifying crimes I have seen are on such programs as Most Evil and Very Bad Men and they involve homosexual men, and their motivations seem to be domination and control and even humiliation.

These observations seem to go along with what you have stated near the end of your post.

I do personally think that homosexuality is a mental disorder. I don’t think it’s normal in any way, in fact I think it is abnormal.

However, that being said, if there are gay people whom i come in contact with, and they are kind to me and do not attempt to dominate me or manipulate me and God forbid try to commit any crimes against me, then I cannot see myself going out of my way to be unpleasant to them.

I don’t believe that every gay person has the capacity to commit such acts even though some clearly do. There have also been heterosexuals who have committed terrible crimes, and it would probably be unreasonable to then expect that all heterosexuals have the capacity for such.

But just to restate, I do think that homosexuality is an indication of a deviation of a person, and not a healthy one.

I was going to mention that too. The list of serial killers who were homosexual is astonishing. It appears most of them are.

However, that being said, if there are gay people whom i come in contact with, and they are kind to me and do not attempt to dominate me or manipulate me and God forbid try to commit any crimes against me, then I cannot see myself going out of my way to be unpleasant to them.

I understand this sentiment. Not every snake is poisonous but be wary.

There have also been heterosexuals who have committed terrible crimes, and it would probably be unreasonable to then expect that all heterosexuals have the capacity for such.

Not a good example. Heterosexuals make up 98% of the population, yet 40% of child molestations are homosexual. That 2% molest at a rate 20 times their representation in the general population.

But just to restate, I do think that homosexuality is an indication of a deviation of a person, and not a healthy one.

Yes, something went very badly wrong in their wiring somewhere. They may be crazy harmless, but often you can never tell with crazy people.

As I said, just be wary.

This is nothing but a publicity stunt by Graham. And a dumb one too.

The homosexual movement is going to consume the world and you can't stop it. But you sure can get run over by it.

You need to be organizing yourselves like the Mormon's do. You need to have a food storage... and organize to take care of each other.

It's going to get unbelievably bad and most people are acting like a frog in pot of boiling water. You don't see the signs for what they really are... like Graham. He's shaking his fist at a tidal wave, demanding for it to go around him.

Graham makes his money off of preaching. He doesn't really face the real world like we do nor the consequences. If he makes a show of it, people will give him more money. Forget him.

You can't stop prophesy. You should always pick your battles smartly and this ain't it. Because you KNOW how it turns out. Smart thing to do is to do it privately, like voting or personal decisions like where you buy.

But publicly inviting a fight? No, they will win and how much bolder will they be after they win these victories?

I think this is what Jesus meant when He said, "25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."

The best thing any of us can do is to prepare for what we know is coming. Don't poke the snake, which will bring the wrath of evil on you, and to no avail. The only thing that can stop this evil is the second coming of Christ.

Best to prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ and let the world go on it's way to destruction like the Lord said it would and stay out of it's way.

“Not a good example. Heterosexuals make up 98% of the population, yet 40% of child molestations are homosexual. That 2% molest at a rate 20 times their representation in the general population.”

Well, I wasn’t referring to sexual crimes in that example, even though I probably should have been. I was just meaning to say that there have been serial killers that have been heterosexual as well, not necessarily saying that any of their crimes involved their sexuality, but seeing as how we are talking about homosexuals committing crimes that do involve sexuality, it is a poor example on my part.

But yeah, I believe that about the molestation rate of homosexuals. I ran into a child molester at the age of 7. Dude was married with several children, 3 of them male, his wife ran an after school day care center for the nearby Catholic school, and sure enough her husband was the wolf, and he liked to mess around with little boys.

I don’t know if he was gay or bisexual or whatever, but I do know that his molestations were male on male so that was troubling.

I am the one he tried with that blew his gig so hopefully he was unable to continue after he tried with me, but I do not know for sure.

This world is moving in a direction at a rapid pace that is truly frightening.

I am very thankful for the time that I have been able to spend in a free America.

I grew up with the privilege of knowing Ronald Reagan’s presidency and with the freedom that brave men won for me before I was born.

That is a blessing that few in this world have known, and I am very thankful.

But it seems, very sadly, that those blessing are not going to last, people have somehow gone well astray from such values.

Frankly I see mankind moving in a direction similar to Nazi Germany, and that is a thing that history tells us mankind is capable of.

It looks like we are in for a repeat of that lesson, and I think it’s going to be worse this time around.

I am doing my best to prepare. It is clear that storm is coming.

I say God Bless Rev. Graham. At least I give him CREDIT for presenting a reasonable idea. God Bless him.

I am sorry you had to encounter such a person. I t is an unfortunate reality that many young males become homosexual as the result of such encounters. I think it is also near 40% of homosexuals in one study admit they were molested.

I have long thought it was a sort of coping mechanism. Being sodomized made them feel tainted, and the only way they could remove the feeling of violation is to convince themselves that there was nothing wrong with it.

Like Stockholm Syndrome, they embrace what happened, because it is their coping mechanism for dealing with it. If they think it's okay, then they won't have feelings of guilt or shame for having been molested.

It also explains why they attack with vehemence any one suggesting that it is sick or abnormal. The belief that it is okay is their mental security blanket and they are deathly afraid of anyone who tries to take that fig leaf away from them.

You’re exactly right. From Jeffrey Dahlmer to John Wayne Gacy, to Wayne Williams, to Pee Wee Gaskins, the vast majority of mass murderers down through history have been homosexuals. But this will never be discussed by the homosexual-loving media, and that includes Fox News.

Nah, it’s alright. You know, it is part of my history, so I am not ashamed to speak of it. I addressed it when it occurred in an effort to stop him from his behavior.

I don’t know if I was able to stop him long term, but I certainly stopped him as it concerned me, so that was a good move my on my part at the age of 7.

He was not able to proceed very far with me, but he tried, and he tried to escalate it, so it was at that time I became familiar with the sort of tricks or manipulations that such a person will attempt to use on a young person taking advantage of their position of trust and authority.

These are truly evil people. The worst of the worst.

I too think and have thought for some time that this is how many, if not all, male homosexuals are created. I can’t speak to female homosexuality, because I just do not have much knowledge on that, so speaking on males here.

I think it is an ill legacy passed on through sexual abuse that occurs between adults and children. I am not sure what the precise mechanism is, but in some of those homosexual serial killer cases I mentioned, the criminal had also been molested early on as a child, and then proceeded to do so to others as he aged, sometimes starting very early on.

So with me what occurred at the baby sitter’s house happened, and I never became a homosexual or had feelings of guilt, but I stopped those events from proceeding by telling my parents what was happening.

My dad, the idiot, didn’t believe me, but my mom did, and she raised Hell and took me out of the after school care.

Very sadly she told the Catholic school of the goings on here at this house, and these that events were not limited to me, he did this to every male child there, I saw it with own eyes, and the authorities at this school denied my accusations and defended the woman’s husband... which is why I don’t know if my revealing the situation ended his run, but it did end it with me.

I suspect his wife knew how her husband was though, I suspect he did this to his own male children as well.

So yeah, this was bad man, and he positioned himself near those whom he wanted to victimize, which is how they operate.

I mean just imagine here comes the school bus down the street dropping off a bus load of little children at the local pedophiles house every day... this is a real nightmare.

They are very cunning.

When Religion goes, a vacuum is created. It usually gets filled by evil.

They are a different animal all together. Most of them have had bad experiences with men, or worse; They can't attract a man. Often they too have been molested when they were young. But there is a quantum difference between male homosexuals and Lesbians. Lesbians are far more likely to actually be monogamous.

I think it is an ill legacy passed on through sexual abuse that occurs between adults and children. I am not sure what the precise mechanism is, but in some of those homosexual serial killer cases I mentioned, the criminal had also been molested early on as a child, and then proceeded to do so to others as he aged, sometimes starting very early on.

That is my understanding as well. That, and torturing animals is another indicator.

They are very cunning.

And very good at deceiving.

On “Washington Watch” Franklin Graham told Craig James of the Family Research Council that he will be switching to BB&T, a North Carolina based bank.

BB&T is a sponsor of the Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade.

Oops.
