the AWARE saga

Already as it is, non-christians think that christianity is narrow-minded, it certainly won't help with the aware saga coming out more and more as a takeover by a christian group.

I believe the right stance to approach this matter is just, not to retaliate. The old news of God disapproving homosexuality has turned quite a number of gay non-christians away from God. Even christians who had been fervent for the things of God but unable to deny who they are born to be have chosen to stray away from the God who created them. To have christians like COOS (Chruch of our Saviour) aggressively taking control of Aware puts people off even more . I can just put myself in their shoes and feel the way they feel.

For myself, when I read the news about the AWARE saga and hear what Thio has to say; her misconceptions about gay people, her generalisation of gay people and lack of credibility in the way she puts her thoughts across, all cause me to be irritated.I have to remind myself not to let bitterness take root.

News that goes around saying that the 120 new members who had called for an EOGM to vote out the new exco are likely to be lesbians or homosexuality advocates would not help put gay people or gay christians in a good light either. Truth is, the agression in which the new exco takes over AWARE doesn't reflect on their inability to provide the proper welfare for women. I feel people should just wait to see what they are up to so their intentions will be in the light. Would that be too late? I don't think so, honestly.
