I am not confident in my skills at being a blogger and writing up my information that way, but now that I see I already have a webpage maybe I should think about that. I wish the other real bloggers would keep investigating this. I mainly just track it globally, of course in tracking it that means I read a LOT of articles about it, but it is other people who have written the articles. You are probably right, I probably should write this all down in a blog because there is nobody doing what I have been doing, this specific little piece of l’affair Regnerus. The global impact. Thanks Dan, take care, -SGM

The basic point that this trend is global was very germane, and I was interested to hear it. The nitty-gritty details of who was citing the study in Belize, etc. seemed to merit their own discussion… So, why not start posting on your already existing wordpress site ( http://straightgrandmother.wordpress.com/ )? The information you’ve been digging up tracking the citations of Regnerus worldwide would be of interest to many, I’m sure, and would not get buried in the comments!

Best,
Dan

It may seem to you Dan that my comments are far afield of the topic, which was “Look Regnerus is being used in Minnesota also” My comments were showing you, don’t stop at Minnesota it is actually global. I limited myself to just 3 countries, France, Belize and Singapore. I got more I didn’t even post, Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, Spain, and Canada by way of Poland which is kind of interesting, oh just many many more countries. I purposely limited my self to just 3 countries in my comments on your blog.

You have been more than generous Dan, you have. It would be a lot easier on me if other people were aware of the global influence of this study and it wasn’t just me having to make all the comments. I hope I have opened your eyes.

Perhaps you could just leave a link to a post on your own blog where you are updating everyone on these stories? At this point, they are getting a bit far afield from the original post.

Best,
Dan

Scott is affiliated with a Ministry in the US called Extreme Prophetic Ministries. Patricia King in the following video describes Scott Stirm as their “missionary in Central America, Belize” and called him a “prophet and wonderful intercessor: see Prophet . David Koresh was also called a prophet. There is nothing troubling about this video until you start to examine who Patricia King, the speaker is.

Patricia King belongs to this ministry in the United States called Extreme Prophetic Ministries that reportedly is a part of the hardcore Seven Mountains Dominionism movement, which is also linked to the New Apostolic Reformation movement. Seven Mountains dominionism seeks to place Christians in control over the seven forces that shape and control our culture: (1) Business; (2) Government; (3) Media; (4) Arts and Entertainment; (5) Education; (6) Family; and (7) Religion. I want my readers to grasp the order of which this is placed; business first and then government. Are they attempting “shape and control” Belize? Do you see any hard core personalities in the media today affiliated with Stirm? Didn’t they recently pressure the Minister of Education in his educational materials? I also read somewhere that Stirm is training a radical new set of Christians. Radical means favoring drastic political…reforms. Seven Mountains theology, believes that Jesus “doesn’t come back until He’s accomplished the dominion of nations.” And the way “dominion of nations” is accomplished is by having Christians gain control of these “seven mountains” in order to install a “virtual theocracy” overseen by “true apostles” who will fight Satan and his Antichrist agenda.” Explain to me again how they are preserving Belizean culture by this advocacy? Who will be these true apostles running the new theocracy of Belize?

Additionally Patricia King has a reputation in Arizona for going to morgues and trying to raise the dead. Yes Raise the Dead! Check it out: Raised from the Dead Yikes…Nothing strikes me as crazy as the lady who believes she has Jesus power! She also makes a lot of infomercials and peddles the word of God for profit. Selling God. If you are buying God, they will sell it. I still cannot grasp how the established churches in Belize are part of this nightmare! Shame on the Catholic and Anglican Churches!

Both Wade and his Christian colleague Pastor Scott Stirm insist that no one is born gay and maintain Belize’s laws should uphold rights, not choices.

Pastor Scott Stirm, Jubilee Ministries
“It’s a learnt behavior…it’s something people pick up along the way. But I have ministered to I would say countless people, particularly in sexual abuse situations and the majority of them have been sexually abused. When you understand clinical homosexual behavior and clinical homosexual foundations, the absence of the fatherly role plays a huge factor. So you have people that have classic foundations for homosexuality. But then you have other people that just pick up from basic influence of perversion or exposing to pornography and the power of suggestion and things like that.”

“Belize Action has broadcast numerous adverts in television and radio implying that gays are pedophiles, and that decriminalizing sodomy will lead to legalized male rape and the total collapse of social morality.”

” His lawyer Lisa Shoman told local news channel News 5 TV that the gay rights campaigner has received more and more threats since the case went before the Supreme Court on 7 May.”

‘There has been a visible increase of threats and violence against Mr Orozco and against all homosexuals in Belize.

‘There are threats for killing, burning, shooting; you name it. It has to stop. We are all Belizeans. We can agree to disagree without getting violent about it.’

And remember this Gay Man in Belize has to fight back against the Mark Regnerus research which is being promoted in Belize. You can read his e-mail to me in the above comment.

I am still upset over the comment Darren Sherkat made, “No one ever dies from Sociology”
There IS a connection between this Regnerus Research and anti gay opposition. This research is literally jet fuel to those who oppose civil rights for sexual minorities. The opponents pull this out as justification, justification of their hatred and intolerance.
