::::Ah, I hadn't seen the contact. I, too, have e-mailed them now with my concerns about their misrepresentation. I look forward to hearing what they say to both of our e-mails. [[User:Ayzmo|Ayzmo :)]] 21:29, 25 October 2011 (EDT)

::::::I can ask them to provide additional clarification at their website and then link to it if it turns out to be necessary. I do know there was a study in an academic journal indicating the more a society frowns upon homosexuality, the less homosexuality there is in that society. In my dealings with the Amish or Orthodox Jewish community members, I have never come across a person who appeared to be homosexual or effeminate. It would be interesting to see what the marriage rates of the Amish and ultra-Orthodox communities are. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 22:28, 25 October 2011 (EDT)

::::::::Also, here is a study: *In 1980 a study was published in the ''American Journal of Psychiatry'' which stated that eleven [[Ex-Homosexuals|former homosexual men became heterosexuals]] "without explicit treatment and/or long-term psychotherapy" through their participation in a [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] church. - E.M. Pattison and M.L. Pattison, "'Ex-Gays': Religiously Mediated Change in Homosexuals," American Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 137, pp. 1553-1562, 1980 so it would be interesting to know if there was other related research concerning homosexuality and this community. I personally know of people who left this lifestyle after church involvement plus the [[Apostle Paul]] talks about the matter of ex-homosexuals within the Corinthian church.
