I wasn't saying thank you to you for being so kind for re-posting my message on the right message board.  I thought I answered your question just fine.  

I know of John and Anne Paulk the founders of Love Won Out...today they are still married...they never renounced their affiliation with Focus On The Family.  

John was caught in a gay bar...and the gay community watch Focus On The Family like a hawlk to find out how John would be treated.    

Most of the studies that have been done over long period of time having to do with a person's healing journey if you will....most of the studies do show that most people do reach a certain level of heterosexual relating while still struggling with homosexuality.  However, their same-sex attractions no longer have the power if you will over their lives and have decreased in it's intensity while there has been an increase in oppisate-sex attraction.  

Do I expect full healing to come into my life..i.e a complete change in sexual orientation?    

I actualy don't expect a complete change in my sexual orientation but I don't limit the power of God to make that possable.  I do expect more healing to come into my life.  I never used to me attracted to me, I was the predominatly homosexual.  I am nearly 30 years old I am just now coming to sense an attraction towards men but am I still very attracted to women?  The answer would be yes.  

I can remember John and Anne Paulk being interviewed on the Oprah Winfrey show and Oprah asked Anne a question...are you still find yourself attracted to women?  Anne Paulk's response was...yes.  

It seems to me that most people coming out of homosexuality will always have homosexual tendencies but the person through Christ can be given the power to live above and beyond all that and experience a level of healing.  While, it is true, some do experience complete change.  I actualy know a couple of people who can proclaim complete healing in their lives and say that it's now become a foreign concept to them.  Given certain situations, I believe it might be possable for them to regress, much like an alcoholic will always have a possability to regress back into their addictions.    

At least, all of the studies that have been made watching a number of people through their healing process do show that for most cases there will always be a certain level of homosexual temptation but this by no means negates what healing has occured in their lives.  

As far as Exodus Global Alliance...there has been some false accusation...I mean, many people have their oppinions about me and it's not based upon truth.  Many people have judged me and have been wrong with what they have said about me.  And so I am not quick to take your word on it.  

However, even if the founder of Exodus went back into the gay community, that wouldn't affect my decision to keep following Christ and using the Bible as my moral guide through life.    

I will do some research though, and will get back to you with what I find out.
