Please forgive me – you asked me a question several days ago that I never got around to answering due to my work week and tax day. Now I cannot seem to remember the question or find it in the mess of this thread – would you mind asking me again and I will do my best to answer it 🙂

It should be noted that the makeup of Exodus ministries comprises many voices and views, and many people swear by these options, so I think my views were a lone voice in the wilderness. It seems that Exodus reflects Evangelical Christianity in its wacky extreems. It is not a church, so it has very little pastoral or elder oversight, but relies on a collective spirtuality that often strays far from authentic orthodox faith. I’ll finish by saying, in my opinion, that the true church is where hope should be found, and parachurch organizations should only be a stopgap measure.

Use Warren’s search box located on the right side of the page up near the top. Search ‘Journey Into Manhood’…Ted Cox’ adventure did come to Warren’s attention and was discussed here on his blogsite.

Have you seen the recent investigative piece on “Journey Into Manhood” by journalist Ted Cox? Basically, he is a straight male who went “undercover” for a JiM weekend. Very interesting piece, especially his report on the various techniques used to create a purportedly healthy non-homosexual “male bond” amongst the participants. I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on this.
