Question 3 of the Public Consultation on #ConversionTherapy is also very important, especially for anyone approaching legislation from an abolitionist view point. There are proposals that target organisations above people, which are the ones I would personally support more than
- Criminalisation of individuals, especially knowing that Criminalisation and imprisonment etc disproportionately affects minority groups.

In the event of the legislation pulling a bait and switch it is important that we choose the right things to support and not support.
Removing profits, preventing CT folk from holding office in charities and protection for people being sent overseas for #conversiontherapy are - to me - far more important in tackling the lasting presence of Conversion Therapy in the UK, than Criminalisation of individuals.
Looking at these questions it is important to remember that the Charity Commission examined a Christian Refuge in Sheffield who were forcing their service users into conversion therapy, but allowed the charity to continue with minor adjustments.
Providing ROBUST support for people who are survivors is key to actually tackling the effects of Conversion Therapy.
These are some of the questions that will be asked of individuals responding to the Public Consultation on #ConversionTherapy.

Please stay safe as you revisit your memories of your experiences.

It is important to talk any the places it happens, the tools used, and to be
- specific where you can be.

Have you met a Bishop? I have and let me tell you - - -

🧵
dont call me peter - a short narrative by Matthew Drapper, reflecting on his meeting with +Pete.

Quotes are not exact, but recreated from memory. A Bishop chess piece, fallen, said, Red is Blue, Blue is red
On Tuesday 11th June, I met +Pete, the Bishop of Sheffield, in a large office building converted from a mill, in Sheffield. I have been in contention with the Bishop for some years now, since making an official complaint back in 2019, about Network Church Sheffield (NCS)

What was the letter the Students sent to the Bishop of Oxford?
And shouldn't we accept that +Steven is a "good enough" ally of Gay Relationships and leave it at that? Are the Bishops not being attacked from all sides? Well, yes, they are, but it's really because so many of them are playing disingenuous games.
Play disingenuous games, get disingenuous prizes.

If there are no surprises, I'll be dropping this long-form article on Monday. It's one to look out for if you are interested in the context into which the Barnardo’s Reports will also drop.

This is a CONDENSED History, which looks at the DOCUMENTED wave of modern exorcism in UK. Screenshot of A Condensed History of Modern Demons
There are a number of headings within the Article, which is part Literature Review, part historical, and part personal.

These include:
1. Exorcism was banned The use of Exorcism was banned within the Anglican Church from 1604-1969.
2. I experienced exorcism in its modern form

This will be your FIRST chance to read snippets from the Barnardo’s Report. "The Prayer session to which MD was subject in February 2014, clearly sought to banish demons and spirits, and attempted to 'rid him' of his homosexual inclinations as a result'

It's time to talk about Church of England funded counselling offered to Survivors of Church Abuse, or, as I would call it, More Inexplicable Church of England Sticks to Beat You With.

🧵 Thread Incoming.
I cannot speak for anyone but myself, and I *hope* the result of this thread will be other C of E Survivors saying, no no, that's just @DioceseofSheff Sheffield Diocese Safeguarding, and not Nationwide.
@DioceseofSheff I'll also preface by remembering the Jay Report indicates a lack of funding and lack of resources allocated to individuals in Safeguarding roles means we are not here to intimate, bully or take issue with the individual, but rather, the process and maybe even their Script.

Okay (J/K), let's see what Revelation says about Puberty Blockers.

KJV, of course.

🧵
Rev 1.6: "Jesus Christ....hath made us kings"

Who are we? Revelation suggests in an opening volley, we can change/grow/be different in our bodies and roles to what we "were".

The gendered term "Kings", while writing to all genders, encourages that we may become masc. 👑
Rev 1.11 - "What thou seest, write in a book"

We know many incredible parents of Trans Youth have witnessed their child's existence from a very young age, and come to understand the message they are receiving.

Right. So, we *think* Derek Prince might be the first references to homosexuality being influenced by the demonic. He actually referenced this in his training course materials in 1971. I have not been able to get hold of his training materials from then, but I *do* have his book. They Shall Expel Demons, Derek Prince book.
TW. incorrect and unhealthy teaching on demons

It's here, in some training materials from 1971, between fear, resentment and doubt, and tumours, fits and cramps, we have one of the earliest references to Homosexuality as linked with demonic suggestion. A list of demonic influences includes sex categories, perbersion, homosexuality masturbation
Who is this old hollywood man, you ask. According to wiki, "He is the author of 51 books, 600 audio and 100 videos, many of which has been translated and published in more than 60 languages" Prolific teacher. Eton College, Cambridge University. Image
