Michigan Pastor Facing Death Threats for Offering Workshops to Teens Struggling with Homosexuality
Pastor Jeremy Schossau of Metro City Church in Riverview, Michigan, is facing explosive backlash after offering classes to teens struggling with same-sex attraction and seeking help.
In a now-deleted Facebook post, the church offered a workshop called, "Unashamed Identity" for girls 12-16 who are struggling with thoughts of being trans, bi, gay or other. People now are speaking up after being silenced by the vocal violent LGBT community. Hospitals are now claiming trans is a mental health issue.
The post received outrage from many on social media, driven mainly by violent outraged LGBTQ zealots. They lie about the purpose of the workshop claiming it is conversion therapy, a sound counselling practice used to bring biblical clarity and foundation understanding to sexuality.
When LGBT zealots disagree with what the Bible says about homosexuality - they threaten you, report you, lie about you, seek to burn your work down and threten violence.
Hundreds against the workshops recently protested outside the church and according to Schossau, some have responded with threats of physical harm to him and the church. In a YouTube video in response to the controversy, he explained,
"People have literally threatened to kill me and my family, to burn our house down, to burn our church down, to assault the people of our church and our staff." "It is absolutely crazy," Schossau said.
So LGBT zealots are unable to even discuss various views, without threats of violence, slurs, and physical assaults. State lawmakers do not appear to be interesed in any form of help for those trapped in this lifestyle choice issued a release condemning the classes and have introduced legislation to ban conversion therapy across the state. But is it conversion therapy? Why is conversion therapy being banned? LGBT people do not believe their lifestyle is not a chice that they were born gay and it is all natural - with no backing science at all. When questioned - they respond with hateful slurs, threat of violence in order to silence any opposition. So much for love wins!
Schossau says the program is not conversion therapy but a conversation without condemnation.
"If people are thinking that we are grabbing somebody and pulling them in or making them come to us, that's crazy. It couldn't be farther from the truth," he said. "When it comes to this particular workshop, it is both the parent and the child coming together saying we want to talk. We don't force the kids to be there. We ask them if they want to be there. And they're there because they are struggling. They are looking for some counsel. They're looking for some direction, somebody to listen to them. And it is pure hypocrisy in the gay community for folks to think that you can have a choice to move from heterosexuality into homosexuality but not homosexuality into heterosexuality." Why is it wrong for somebody to call us who is struggling and hurting and just looking for somebody to talk to and if they move toward heterosexuality, and we celebrate that. Why is that wrong?" Schossau asked.
