		<description>Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.</description>

		<description>Statistically speaking, considering the fact that there are millions of gay people, exgays don&#039;t exist at all. They&#039;re about as plentiful as unbroken potato chips in a bag that&#039;s been run over by a car. The only reason they even make any headlines at all is because the political right wing funds them for political purposes. They are useful tools for people who need them to win votes. Without that funding, they would evaporate like raindrops in the desert. 

Does the fact that Alan Chambers supposedly have sex with his wife make him not gay? Well, long ago, someone told me that they cure their HIV by drinking bleach. He stood right there and said it worked. It did not make me want to drink bleach. 

Alan Chambers, whose paycheck depends upon his inflammatory remarks and political speeches, is drinking the right wing bleach and telling the rest of us that we should also take a big swig.

They&#039;re losing the American public. They&#039;ve already lost the next generation of young people, and though there will always be a couple of hundred of them scattered around the country, that number will never rise. And as soon as the American public is tired of homophobia, they&#039;ll disappear from public view -- as they should.</description>

		<description>On page 18 of the study, Jones and Yarhouse indicate that the sampling was partly determined by geographical location:

&quot;This study examined a group of individuals at least somewhat representative of persons taking part in their respective Exodus ministries. At the time we initiated this study, Exodus had about ninety ministries in the United States. We sought the participation of ministries based on their geographical proximity to sites where we could establish interview teams, so a subsample of Exodus ministries were contacted based on location rather than representativeness. Of the ministries contacted, a number declined to participate by referring participants to us, and this introduces further unknown variation in our sample. Of the ministries that agreed to participate, some referred all of their participants to us (as described later) while others clearly referred only a sample, again introducing unknown variation in our sample.&quot;</description>
