“Just recently my son Bobby came out to me. I had been worried for awhile. His teachers said most of his grades were slipping and he seemed depressed and withdrawn.
Bobby said he’d been hiding it for awhile because he was afraid I would reject him. I sat him down and told him that I loved him and that God loved him, but that his salvation was in danger if he did not resist his unnatural tempations. I told him how being gay would mean he would live a shorter life, and that if he couldnt change his orientation he could be celibate like most the ex-gays are. He started crying saying something along the lines of “I knew you wouldnt understand! You’re just like everyone else!” before running to his room and slamming the door.
What did I do wrong? I dont want to lose my son, but I fear I already have. I talked it over with his therapist, who had the ludicrous idea that homosexuality was unchangable and that trying to repress could lead to lots of psychological damage (I’ve dropped him and will try to be finding another therapist with more moral beliefs). I wouldnt be surprised if he’s the one who’s feeding my son all the homosexual propaganda about how its ‘ok’ to be gay. That, or how homosexuality has engulfed the media, making it seem ‘cool’ and ‘hip’ and how they were just another oppressed minority. You didnt have to worry about seeing two men making out on tv at my age! I dont want to sound like a fanatic, but Im worried what other effects will come out of this increasingly secular, immoral society obsessed with filth.
Am I too late? Or is it possible to save my son”
Shortly after:
My son killed himself! I'm so distraught; I can't stop crying! What did I do wrong? Is my son in Hell now for killing himself??

The whole thread is here: http://www.freejesus.net/home/viewtopic.php?p=43639

Usually I'd dismiss this as some sort of sick joke, but reading the website name, not so sure.. :dry:
 
She probably would have ended up showing her son a picture of Brad Pitt and then shocking him with a car battery on the nipples.

That way he'd associate men with pain. :up:
 
Why do Christians think that people that commit suicide go to hell?
Wouldn't her son go to hell anyways? He would always be gay, he just might go into denile and get married.
 
the Bible never says what happens to people who commit suicide... so I really don't know.
 
Those boards scare the crap out of me....
 
A lot of stuff. Psycho religious stuff. I find it hard to believe there are people like that out there but oh well. :huh:

Betty, God judges the heart. Samson committed suicide and is listed with the faithful in Hebrews 11!

The Judge of the whole earth really does do right and you can trust in that, even in your grief.

The incredibly deep longing to go back in time and somehow say or do something which would have prevented this is something that will haunt you for awhile. But not forever. God will help you understand, day by day, that each person is responsible for his or her own actions. You were the best mom you knew how to be. We can all look back and see areas where we could have been better. That is part of being a sinful human being.

But YOU DID NOT KILL YOUR SON! That is what you are feeling deep inside and it is not true! You loved him and you did what you knew to do for him.

It is OK to feel shocked and distraught and to mourn. If you did not feel this way it would show you never loved him! But you loved him so much! Of course you will feel this way.

But through it all, you can still trust God. You really can. Step by step He will guide you through this horror of a time.

There will always be a 'son-shaped' hole in your heart, but there WILL come a time when it will stop bleeding.

This first year will have moments of hell in it. But hell cannot conquer heaven, and gradually heaven will win.

Please, please don't be afraid to walk this walk. What you are feeling is right and proper. When you start to heal, please don't feel guilty about that, either! It will be good, and right, and proper in its time. You will laugh again. You will enjoy life again. And it is right and proper that you should.

This is your time walking through the valley of the shadow of death in a very real way.

Do not be afraid. The Lord is with you. His Word and His Holy Spirit will comfort you.

Hold on tight to Jesus. Hold on tight to your friends. If you need an extra friend, feel free to PM me.

God bless you and keep you and shine His face upon you. The Lord life up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
