Ah, we haven't run an ex-gay story in a while, and this is a doozy. In the Sydney Morning Herald there is an article about the efforts of Mercy Ministries to eliminate lesbians from the flock of Hillsong Church.

    In line with the Hillsong Church's strict doctrines teaching that homosexuality is an affliction that can be cured, Mercy Ministries is keen to ensure there is no lesbianism under its roof. It issues "separation contracts" to young women who make friends with each other and prevents any form of physical contact between residents.

I had to suffer the Sy experience personally. It was 22 years ago.  It caused me more emotional problems than the one they were attempting to cure.  I was barraged with letters from these geeks, I was forced to read their literature, I was persecuted and excommunicated from my church.

More than two decades later, "they" still will not recognize me as who I am. I am particularly upset tonight because I was confronted yet again after all this time (it happens several times a year). 

I am so happy that I moved 800 miles away from "those" people.
