British Reporter Infiltrates Homosexual 'Curing' Camp

A happy, openly-gay, British reporter infiltrated the growing world of homosexual "conversion" - the practice by which Christians attempt to "convert" homosexuals into heterosexuals. The practice is apparently infecting "legitimate" psychologists in England, who consider SSA - "Same Sex Attraction" - to be an illness, despite the fact that it was de-listed as a mental illness over 35 years ago. This cult of psych-workers is being directed by American-born Christians who are known leaders in the conversion "movement." Despite all of this, the NHS (National Health Service) is actually referring patients to, and paying for, these treatments.

During his research, the reporter learns that the doctors pray before and following each treatment session, which costs about $75.00. The belief is that the desire to be homosexual originates during childhood and is spurred by overbearing mothers, distant fathers, and loneliness. So is a traumatic birth and Freemasonry.

Perhaps most telling, whenever the doctors involved do not get the answers from the patient for which they are looking, communication is broken so the doctor can pray for the patient, asking God to enter his life and illuminate the sexual abuse which "[needs] to come to the surface." Whenever tempted - by attraction to the same sex or even the desire to masturbate - the patient is told to pray, informing God that he "[knows] this is wrong." These desires, attractions, et.al. are termed "The Enemy." In Judaeo-Christian mythology, Satan is Latin for "The Opposed."

According to the reporter, there are other approaches which do not place the same emphasis on Christianity - and make no mistake about it: this is a Christian offense, not a "religious" or "spiritual" one - but the psychology behind the belief that homosexuality is a "pathology" is pinned on some sort of trauma to the patient during his childhood. Those who do not uncover, and deal with, this "wounding" tend not to be helped.

Lest you think I am being prejudiced in my assessment, I urge you to read the report for yourself. Not only does it illuminate this conversion process and the thought-process behind it, it is a heartbreaking examination of Christian intolerance - particularly since the largest branch of this religion is guilty of child sexual abuse on a massive, international scale. But looking beyond even that, which I agree is an easy and simplistic connection, though I disagree that it makes it any less valid, we see that Christianity continues to encourage separation, division, and, ironically, judgment of your fellow man (and woman) - all of which stands in stark opposition to Christ's teachings and life; Christ taught his followers not to judge others, was known to consort with prostitutes and thieves, and openly administered help to the lepers who were abandoned by their fellow Man and left to die.

It should come as no surprise that this terrible concept of "conversion" comes directly from the Southern Baptists, an abominable denomination of hatemongerers whose biggest proponents openly promote intolerance and schism. The first "conversion camps" originated - where else? - in Tennessee, the mecca of Southern Baptists, where the legal, judicial, and penal systems have been completely infiltrated and corrupted by this aggressive religious sect.

That they seek to spread their hatred is not shocking; that their infection continues to spread though, is grounds for considering the Southern Baptist denomination a terrorist organization - one whose battlecry is "God Hates Fags." While we can sit back, shake our heads, and cluck our tongues at such obviously retarded behavior, the truth is that teaching others it is right, even just, to consider others less than ourselves because they are different is nothing short of hatemongering and is dangerous, offensive on every level, and should be abolished.

Acne is a Health Issue

Acne does not just affect teenagers - it also affects many adults, well into their 30s and beyond. While many people tend to believe that you eventually "grow out of it," this is simply not true for everyone; yes, most people suffer only the occasional, and usually very limited, outbreak after the ages of 25-30, but not all. And while there are numerous OTC and prescription treatments available, not all of them work. Some say this is because they fail to treat the problem at the source - where it starts - which is inside the body.

If you have tried all the creams and external treatments available with little or no success, maybe your acne condition can be better treated with one of the many acne pills. There are several of those available as well, so find out more about them by following the link provided.

Monkey Roaming Darwin Streets

Residents of Australia's Northern Territory are being warned to stay away from a monkey authorities say has been spotted roaming the Darwin suburb streets. The monkey, which is thought to have been brought into the area illegally, may bite or attack any who approach it. Monkeys are also known to be quite strong and throw their own poo at others!

Obviously, this is a serious situation, but the equally obvious humor could not be passed-up. While area Christians refuse to believe such a monkey even exists, authorities insist they refrain from approaching any small, excessively hairy, individuals uncommon to the area until further notified.

Prayer Fails Two Children of Faith Healers, Justice System Does Not

A couple, members of the Oregon-based Christ Church which practices faith-healing, has been found guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of their 16-year old son, months after their 15-month old granddaughter died under similar circumstances. "Faith-healing" is an extremist Christian practice in which believers anoint the ill with oils and pray for their health, yet avoid doctors and traditional medicine. It has been known to cause death in... basically everyone.

Jeff and Marci Beagley refused to seek proper medical treatment for their 16-year old son who was suffering from a congenital urinary tract blockage which doctors say could have been treated up to the very day of the youth's death. Their 15-month old granddaughter, who was also treated using "faith-healing" techniques and also died, succumbed to pneumonia and a blood infection. Her parents were acquitted of manslaughter in 2009.

The Beagleys face 16-18 months in prison, though their lawyer plans to ask for probation. The couple is free until sentencing, later this month.

While "common sense" and logic is typically considered the enemy of faith, this is an idea subscribed to, and forwarded by, retards. If God is an omniscient being, as Judaeo-Christian mythology insists, then He obviously sanctioned - and is even responsible for - the development of medicines and medical practices, right? Thus, the Beagleys and their fellow "faith-healers" are guilty of placing themselves before God... and murder.

Coincidence or Fate?: "Shot Through the Heart"

(With apologies to Bon Jovi)

Henry Ziegland jilted his Texas girlfriend in 1883. The poor girl was so heartbroken that she took her own life. Attempting to avenge her death, the girl's brother shot Ziegland. Believing he had killed him, the man took his own life by shooting himself in the head. However, the bullet had only grazed Ziegland's cheek and embedded itself in a tree.

In 1913, Ziegland was trying to cut down that same tree, but found it difficult enough that he turned to dynamite. The explosion sent the bullet flying through Henry Ziegland's head, killing him.

Used Fitness Equipment on the Cheap

The United States is said to have the largest number of obese people of any country. While much of weight-loss and management is dependent on a healthy diet, there is simply no replacement for exercise. Global Fitness is the largest used fitness equipment dealer in America and they carry all of the major brand names.

New exercise and fitness equipment is often quite expensive and, no matter how pressing the need, few can afford it. Global Fitness offers discounts on new equipment, but you will find the greatest savings in their used equipment offers. Now there is no excuse not to exercise! Er, now there is no excuse not to exercise.

Ahem.

Saudi Arabian Sentenced to Death for Witchcraft

From the Vaults:

A Saudi Arabian man has been sentenced to death for practicing witchcraft after he made "psychic predictions" on TV from his home. Arrested over a year earlier while on pilgrimage, the man joins three others awaiting death for the same offense, including a woman who was arrested for making predictions. Two of these were arrested in the same month as the accused, Ali Sibat. Reports indicate officials coerced Sibat into "confessing" to communicating with spirits in return for his freedom, which was never granted; instead, he was sentenced to death for practicing sorcery.

Saudi Arabian law has no specific definition of "witchcraft," and the New York-based Human Rights Watch activist group claims officials use it as a catch-all to unjustly convict anyone engaging in any activity deemed "un-Islamic."

Human Rights Watch accused Saudi Arabia of "sanctioning a literal witch hunt by the religious police" - a practice of which all Islamic countries are guilty. The group is calling for the Saudi Arabian government to overturn these convictions and abandon the death sentence in such convictions. Amnesty International is said to have taken-up the cause, as well.

104 of the 140 people on death row in the country are foreign. One of those convicted of sorcery is an Asian man who "used his powers" to solve a marital dispute. Another is said to have defaced a copy of the abominable Qur'an.

5-Year Old Draws UFO

A Kansas parent was too busy driving to look at whatever his/her daughter was pointing-out in the sky, but two days later, when asked to draw the object, the five-year old produced a picture of the "round plane with bolts" she had claimed to see. The result is your typical "flying saucer."

MUFON Case #21680 has yet to be investigated, and the adult obviously wishes to remain anonymous, but the resulting picture clearly shows a disc-shaped object with "bolts" around the outside of what would be the "round plane"'s hull. The child included a house beneath the object and the parent added the object had been flying south.

The adult claims to have first witnessed a UFO at age five, but claims the daughter was not privy to this. Further, this was the first time the daughter had ever mentioned anything (possibly) UFO-related.

They also finally fell into my price range - and yours! e Com Electronics' daily deals on new and refurbished laptops are sure to have something in your price range which meets your needs, and I promise you will not be disappointed with a laptop, even if (like me) you prefer to work on a desktop. Check them out daily and pick one up soon!

Breast Implants Can be the Bomb

New intelligence asserts that British-trained Muslim doctors are returning to their homelands to perform plastic surgery operations in which explosives are hidden inside breast implants. These explosive implants can also be implanted in men, either in their buttocks or appendix. Intelligence agents say they learned of the plot following the failed Christmas Day bombing in the U.S. by monitoring "chatter" in the Middle East.

Top surgeons confirmed the feasibility of such operations, noting that not only would the explosives be powerful enough to damage an airplane's skin, ensuring it crashes, but also undetectable by scanning equipment.

Surgical Update

This Friday marks one month since my surgery. The good news is that I am feeling better; the bad news is that it's still pretty touch-and-go. I'm hoping things start getting back to normal soon, but I can make no promises at this moment.

The OddBlog has tons of great posts in our archives, so be sure to check them out while you wait for new content!

75% of Teens Believe in ET Life

To coincide with the release of a movie involving aliens, 20^th Century Fox polled 1000 kids aged five to 16. According to the results, 75% believe aliens exist - and ¹/₃ believe their teacher's body is being controlled by alien forces! 72% believe that, should aliens ever invade, it would be peaceful and the aliens would be friendly.

90% of the 16 year olds were unable to name all eight planets in the solar system.

Dudes Lose Their Moobs

The fastest-growing procedure in the world of plastic surgery? Male breast reduction - for the second year running! In fact, male breast reduction (or "manboobs," aka, "moobs") procedures rose by 80% since 2008. And, just as with their female counterparts, many doctors blame men's magazines for the increase in requests.

The entire plastic surgery industry remained strong, despite the recession and world economic woes - in fact, surgeons performed 6.7% more procedures in 2009 than they did the year before. And though 90% of the work done was performed on women, procedures on men saw the most dramatic rise in numbers. Nose-jobs and blepharoplasty - surgery on the skin surrounding the eyes - were the top two procedures performed on men, but the moob-job remains the fastest-growing.

Game Consoles Now Media Centers

I do not play video games as a general rule. There are all sorts of reasons for this and I've discussed them at-length elsewhere, but the simplest and most direct is that I already have too many hobbies, many of which allow me to actually accomplish something. However, Netflix is just the first of many sites which is now streaming to gaming consoles like the ps3.

While I think there is a way to accomplish streaming media on my TV without having to breakdown and buy a gaming console, I realize that it would basically mean dedicating a computer to media, so the investment is about the same. Plus, a gaming console gives my company something to do whenever they visit!

Judge Dismisses Indonesian Bee-Sting Case

You may have read about an Indonesian child who was on-trial for intentionally placing a bee on a little girl's face. The bee stung his classmate and her parents reported the incident to police, who arrested the boy; they wanted to make an example of the child. The judge in the bee-sting case dismissed it from court, said the matter came down to "normal children's naughtiness" and should have been "settled amicably by the school and the parents."

Indonesians are tried as adults from the age of eight and serve their time alongside adults, even though it is against UN regulations. Many Indonesians feel the age should be raised to at least 12. In 2009, 10 boys who worked as shoeshiners were found guilty of gambling and faced five years in prison, but a public outcry got the charges dismissed.

Had he been found guilty, the eight-year old who placed the bee on the girl's cheek could have been sentenced to three years in prison!
