I noticed that also with Joe Dallas. What is his deal? I heard him speak at an Exodus conference years ago. I went up to him afterward to speak to him, and I remember him basically saying to not count on much change in attractions. And now he’s on this show nodding his head as this guy spouts nonsense. I have to say that I am surprised that he is coming down on this side instead of the Exodus side of telling the truth.

Yes, but Wayne, do you have crayons?

Boo – You are right, I don’t want this thread to be about Bailey. I only brought out the bisexual foundation paper as an indicator that Bailey changed his mind on bisexuality. There might be a thread in the future to discuss the issues you are referring to but this isn’t it.

“Would he be exhibiting scholarly integrity in making that claim?”
No he would not, but just because someone has one instance of bad behaviour doesn’t invalidate all of his work.

The first video is from a researcher in Bailey’s lab:

Warran- yeah, that’s bizarre. My only point is that “no change in arousal response measured via brain scans” doesn’t necessarily imply “therapy was a failure and had no lasting effect”.

Thank you for that!
BTW, I got the names switched for a second (Bailey and Mungadze). My “Nice!” response would have been directed toward Mungadze, not Bailey.
