kactus Posted January 21, 2012 Report Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Sixth-formers at the Jewish Free School in Kenton, north London say Jonah - Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality - was mentioned at the end of class without any discussion of the controversy over the US group. Jonah promotes the idea that homosexuality can be "mitigated and potentially eliminated" and sends participants on retreats such as Journey into Manhood. It has run sessions in the UK. The Jonah website was introduced at the end of a lesson on homosexuality and the Orthodox Jewish viewpoint. One student, who did not wanted to named, said: "We discussed whether someone chooses to be gay or not. Then we looked at Orthodox Judaism, which condemns homosexuality. Full article: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-24029541-jewish-school-in-storm-over-us-gay-conversion-group.do Seems pretty scary that such a group as Jonah can exercise such extremist view. Another pupil said: "If I were gay or worrying about my sexuality, sitting in that lesson, I would have been so upset. Most people were offended by it." Edited January 21, 2012 by kactus Quote

So Kactus are you equally concerned with Christian and Muslim fundamentalist groups with the same views? Care to share your concerns about them as well? Please. See people like you use any excuse to criticize Jews. If you had any credibility you would discuss how all religious groups have such extremist fools doing such things. You didn't. Giggle giggle tee hee, What a nice way to shit on all Jews. Hide behind being concerned about gays. Right. The above extremists are jack asses. There are such jack asses who distort Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, on and on to be anti gay. No one religion has a monopoly on people using their religion to bash gays. Oh I know you were not making a veiled tee hee giggle knock against all Jews. Gosh now. You only meant this group, Its me I am unreasonable and paranoid. I am an extremist. I make porno movies in Hollywood as well. Edited January 21, 2012 by Rue Quote
kactus Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) So Kactus are you equally concerned with Christian and Muslim fundamentalist groups with the same views? Absolutely! I guess you dont read much of my posts regarding poor human rights in other countries... Care to share your concerns about them as well? Please. My concern has always been about poor treatment of people including Moslems by their governments. That said my reservation about the motives of western governments precedes that argument... See people like you use any excuse to criticize Jews. People like me Rue?! Who the hell do think you are to judge me. If you had any credibility you would discuss how all religious groups have such extremist fools doing such things. You didn't. Don't think I needed to ask your permission to post...Spare me the lecturing. It will only make you sound like a pompous git.... Giggle giggle tee hee, What a nice way to shit on all Jews. Hide behind being concerned about gays. Right. Stop acting like a drama queen. It really doesn't suit you or your statement. The above extremists are jack asses. There are such jack asses who distort Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, on and on to be anti gay. No one religion has a monopoly on people using their religion to bash gays. Glad you're making some headway with constructive criticism of this group. Keep it up! Oh I know you were not making a veiled tee hee giggle knock against all Jews. Gosh now. You only meant this group, Its me I am unreasonable and paranoid. Dont shoot the messenger. But since you mentioned in your own words the more you go on about this the more paranoid you will sound... I am an extremist. I make porno movies in Hollywood as well. Evidently. Congratulations! Edited January 22, 2012 by kactus Quote
