You know you're overdoing the dobies when you make one with a site you find personally disgusting.

NARTH
Hate 'em
Buch of pseudo-Freudian nut-wits.
What the heck do they know of the complexities of human sexuality?

Posted by cheiros do ender (Member # 8849) on :

I don't find it personally disgusting.

Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :

It took me forever to even find what they believe on that site (to determine if they were indeed disgusting). Ugh! I don't like them or their website.

NARTH Positions Statement

I don't get what's so disgusting about them...

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

Well, they do appear to be on the more acceptable end of the ex-gay movement; at least they don't claim to heal homosexuality by the power of Jebus. Still, it's a bit like saying that the Discovery Institute is on the acceptable fringe of the Creationist movement. OK, they don't believe in seven-day creation, but ye gods.

Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :

I think I get what you're talking about, KoM.

I was starting to go blind on variations of the word "diverse," however.

Isn't agency in that context strictly an LDS word?

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Yeah. I'm pretty sure the LDS Church has it copyrighted or something.

Posted by cheiros do ender (Member # 8849) on :

Okay, maybe strictly wasn't the best word, but I don't think my comment warrented sarcasm.

Posted by Lissande (Member # 350) on :

That wasn't Sarcasm, that was Jon Boy... [Smile]

Ick... that is a scary web-site.
Nice dobie though... [Smile]

Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :

I heard the term "agency" a lot in philosophy classes. Most of the time referring to Kantian ethics. Thusly:

"Oh yeah Kant? I got yer agency right here!"

Edited in favor of this stylish new emote.

You seriously need to find a local chapter of Dobies Anonymous.

Please, please, no more NARTH. [Mad]

At least it wasn't JONAH.

So a guy.. who the last person he got kissed by was another guy... can help you get straight?

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

JONAH?

Sorry 'bout that. But I did come up with JOSHUA as an antidote.
