Year: 2013

Southern Baptists are holding their annual meeting in Houston, TX right now. Apparently, a bunch of them need schooled on what coffee to drink.

There’s enough Starbucks being consumed at #SBC13 to make David Barton go crazy.

Had to add this one:

Know why God doesn’t want Baptists to dance? Ever watched a Baptist dance? #SBC13

Clever and profound in an unexpected kind of way:

We don’t get this network but I hope to find a way to see this program. It airs Thursday, June 20 at 10pm eastern time. Below is a preview.

Sneak Peak: Lisa Ling’s Special Report – God & Gays

The story of Exodus International, the LGBT men and women who have been affected by the organization and the nationwide dialogue that surrounds this topic continues in an Our America special report.

For almost 40 years, Exodus International claimed to offer a “cure” for homosexuality. Alan Chambers, the leader of Exodus, decided last year to stop endorsing the controversial practice of gay-reparative therapy. And now, he has a new message: an apology.
In a special episode, Lisa Ling is joined by a group of survivors of the condemned and damaging practice of “reparative therapy” as they confront Alan Chambers. Chambers recently asked Ling to help orchestrate an opportunity in which he could formally apologize to those who felt deceived and defrauded by Exodus’ practices and to announce that the organization will cease to be an “ex gay” organization.
Tune in Thursday, June 20th at 10/9c for a special presentation of this powerful report.

On Alan Colmes Show tonight, Jerry Mungadze said he would take Michael Bailey’s offer to submit patients for testing in Bailey’s lab.
Mungadze struck a defiant tone when challenged on his data and said he would allow Bailey to examine his brain work. Mungadze asks patients to color a map of their brain and then Mungadze interprets the colors. He claims to be able to tell if someone is gay by these maps.
We’ll be watching doctor.
On the show, Mungadze said homosexual attraction stems from distant same-sex parent relations, overprotective opposite parent relationships and/or sexual abuse.
I’ll post the audio as soon as it is available. The segment of interest is in the third hour of the program.

Get some popcorn and gather round the radio kids because this promises to be a rip roaring good time.  Bring some crayons too.
Alan Colmes is hosting Wayne Besen and Jerry Mungadze on his show tonight which begins at 7pm.  Wayne has more details on his site (apparently this segment will air at 8pm).
Mungadze is the Texas therapist who uses crayons to map the brain and says his ex-gay clients demonstrate their change via brain changes. On this blog, Michael Bailey challenged Mungadze to send his patients to Bailey’s lab and Besen has offered Mungadze $10k to rewire his brain.

 
UPDATE: Mungadze said on Alan Colmes that he doesn’t believe in conversion therapy. That might be a surprise to The Joni Show folks. He also said he uses brain wave assessment to determine sexual orientation. This is in contrast to what he said on David Foster’s show Pure Passion. There was no mention of any kind of brain wave assessment on the Pure Passion show.
