Six months ago, Exodus president Alan Chambers declared — despite then-ongoing political alliances — that Exodus had decided months earlier to focus upon ex-gay ministry and refrain from politics.

Exodus has violated that commitment again, with Chambers and his so-called “women’s ministry” leader Yvette Schneider — a former FRC operative — entangling themselves in California’s Proposition 8.

The ballot initiative represents a battle by the state’s Republicans against freedom to marry. In fact, the initiative stands almost no chance of passage: It is a GOP ploy to draw social-conservative voters to the polls and to squeeze defenders of religious, personal, and family liberty out of the GOP.

Chambers and Schneider will take their campaign to restrict Californians’ right to marry to three simulcast rallies, which will employ hundreds of antigay churches and antigay youth groups that seem willing to turn their tax-exempt churches into GOP recruiting stations. The simulcast are scheduled as follows:

Thursday, September 25, 7:00-8:30 pm - Rally for Pastors and Church Leaders
(Rebroadcast Thursday, October 2, 1:00-2:30 pm)
Speakers: Jim Garlow, Chuck Smith, Kenneth Ulmer, Maggie Gallagher, Glenn Stanton, Jennifer Roback Morse, Alan Chambers, Miles McMcPherson, Chris Clark, Dudley Rutherford, Jim Franklin, Lou Engle, and others

Wednesday, October 1, 7:00-8:30 pm - Rally for Youth, Young Adults and Parents
Speakers: Miles McPherson, Ron Luce, Yvette Schneider, Greg Koukl, Sean McDowell, Katinas, Stellar Kart, and others

Sunday, October 19, 5:00-6:30 pm - Rally for Congregations
(Rebroadcast Sunday, November 2, 5:00-6:30 pm)
Speakers: Jim Garlow, Matt Staver, Miles McPherson, Alan Chambers, Tony Perkins, and others

Truth Wins Out Calls On Sarah Palin To Comment On Her Church’s Support of ‘Pray Away The Gay’ Conference

Coalition To Hold Educational Forum On Thursday To Counter ‘Ex-Gay’ Program

Truth Wins Out (TWO) today urged GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin to speak out about her church’s support for an “ex-gay” conference that will be in Anchorage on Saturday. Palin is scheduled to be in Alaska today and should use her visit as an opportunity to inform Americans whether she agrees with her church that homosexuals can be cured through prayer, says TWO.

“It is time Sarah Palin lets the American people know whether she shares her church’s view that being gay is a choice that can be prayed away,” said Truth Wins Out’s Executive Director Wayne Besen. “Voters are entitled to know who Palin is and what her views are on this issue before they go into the voting booth. Palin’s visit to Alaska is an opportunity for her to address whether she supports the goals of Focus on the Family’s divisive anti-gay conference.” (Read More)

Alabama Attorney General Troy King, a conservative Republican Christian who has called homosexuality the ‘downfall of society,’ has been caught with his pants down-literally-in a gay sex scandal. King was reportedly nabbed having sex with a male assistant by his wife, Paige King, in the couple’s own bed. It is amazing - the more one condemns homosexuality, the more likely one is to be gay. It is a telltale sign, like freedom rings.

Such tragic stories show why it is so important to come out of the closet. The alternative is living a life of pain and denial. On Monday, I head to North Carolina to speak out against the “ex-gay” Exodus International conference. Exodus says they have more than 700 people already signed up.

Most of these people will realize they are being duped and walk away. Others will suffer for few years before they realize they have wasted time and money. Then, there will be the ones who remain and decide to live like Troy King. When I think of the Exodus conference, I think of Troy Kings in training.

How does this help the family?
