I have concluded that I cannot in good conscience continue to participate in this conference. People come in and the "Christian" thing to do is to tell them yes, as BL's they're headed for nothing but big trouble in their lives, that their "lusts" can only result in sin, that they're by nature rebellious, no-good folk and that God has limited patience with them. I do not believe, as is continually stated here, that our lives are themselves a form of condemnation.....I believe them to be a blessing.....but this idea simply doesn't work in this environment. ---Ford |
