Pastor attacked by LGBT community
An uproar over a sound Bible helping program at a Downriver church in Michigan has the pastor pushing back on the LGBT death threats.
It all started weeks ago when Metro City Church announced a workshop for teen girls struggling with “thoughts that are trans - bi - gay or other.”
The pastor of the church says the program is not conversion therapy, it's a conversation, not condemnation and there is no dragging or bible beatings, no casting out demons....just talking.
But the LGBT zealots do not tolerate anybody questioning the lifestyle choices and have responded with threats of physical harm to burn the church down and to kill the pastor. Love wins? Don't think so!
Jeremy Schossau says in his roughly two decades building metro city church, he hasn’t seen anything like the backlash to his “unashamed identity workshop.”
“This unbelievable vitriol that has come at us from around the world,” Schossau says. “The hate the vulgarity the pornography that has flooded all of our social media, all of our inboxes in every sort of way. Death threats to me, death threats to my family to my kids, wanting to burn down our church our homes. It is crazy. If a kid wants to talk to a loving reasonable adult, with their parent and with their parent’s permission. Why would that be a bad thing? We don’t understand. We think that parents ought to nurture their children in the right direction according to their family’s values.”
Schossau says the workshop is not conversation therapy.
“If people think conversion therapy as getting someone in a room, dragging somebody in a room, forcing a kid or an adult into a room and beating them over the head with a bible, or shaming them or guilting them, we want nothing to do with that. That is not what we’re talking about in any way,” he says.
A former member of his congregation says he walked away feeling it was. Former members often walk away because they disagree with something that was said and believe their opinions trump the Bible.
Sam Tooley says he started transitioning to a male around 2 to 3-years-old and went to Pastor Schossau around 13. “I was in the room with him alone and just praying laying hands on me trying to help me,” he says.
But research is now clearly showing that transgenderism is a mental health issue. John Hopkins Hospital now refuses to perform any transgender surgery because they finally recognize this is a mental health issue. And of course the LGBT zealots targetted the hospital.
Transgenderism - male to female - they will never give birth, have monthly menstrual cycles - it is dress ups on hormones. It is a mental health issue.
The person doesn't know who they are. They think they are better-being someone else. But this opens a lifetime of drugs. the LGBT community rarely speak of those who want to transition back to their birth sex. In fact, the LGBT want to ban all medical services from performing any reversal procedures.
Even parents entertain dangerous thinking regarding transgenderism. Just let kids decide - yet that they don't do that with a chemist, or with drugs, or with driving - just do what you want - is BAD PARENTAL ADVICE. Kids are influenced by the media, and the immoral shameless LGBT community is trendy - but dangerous and it is foolish for a parent to let a child decide.
Seth’s mother Kim says parents of kids struggling with identity - sexual or otherwise – shouldn’t look to church programs. “It’s dangerous. It leads to high suicide rates. They need to let that child come to them and just be them and for them to find out for themselves what the truth is,” she says.
The Metro Detroit Political Action Committee (code for hateful, violent LGBT mob) is planning a protest at the church on Thursday, but are quick to say they are peaceful and any threats toward the church are way out of line. But nobody believes that.
Pastor Schossau says his church is inclusive, and if someone walks out of these sessions and are gay or trans, they are still welcome at church.
