| | Judicial Liberal Bias Forces Jury to Convict JONAH in Trial with Deep Ramifications
By Christopher Doyle, MA, LCPC
|
| Last Thursday, the seven-member jury in
the trial pitting the $280 million Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)
against the small Jewish non-profit, Jews Offering New Alternatives for
Healing (JONAH), found JONAH guilty of 17 out of 20 counts of consumer
fraud. According
to deliberation instructions from Judge Peter Bariso, the jury was
instructed to consider: 1) Did JONAH make "misrepresentations in
connection with the sale, advertisement, or the subsequent performance"
of its counseling program; and 2) Did they engage in "unconscionable
commercial practices in connection with the sale, advertisement, or the
subsequent performance of the JONAH Program"?

IHF is recruiting teens and young adults to participate in a study that examines the perceptions of adolescents who have undergone therapy to change unwanted same-sex attractions (SSA). The

undergoing (or those who have undergone) therapy to change same-sex
desires and behaviors, as well as
understand some of the possible influences (e.g. wellbeing; harm) it may
have (or not have) on youth that participate in therapy. Participants must have began
therapy before the age of 18. For more information, please e-mail

and understand your struggling child, and to uncover how your own
unresolved issues may be blocking your family’s path to healing.

Here's what one mother had to say:
I've had decades of
personal therapy, but nothing ever like this. The concept of heal the parent; heal the child makes great sense. Hilde and Chris are gifted teachers,
compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and loving. I’m leaving
emotionally exhausted, yet filled with hope like never before. If you have a child with SSA, this is where
the healing starts! |

Hagerstown, MD
This weekend will give you the opportunity to connect with other fathers
that are in the same position as you, and learn together how you can

You will gain great insight into your child’s needs by learning,
growing, and taking part in group activities with each other during this
interactive weekend! You will be empowered by understanding how your own background has
influenced your parenting, while at the same time, realizing how you can
lead your children and family into a healthier future. Click here for more details and to register.
Here's what one father had to say:
It was worth every second and dollar I
spent! The weekend was hard work, interspersed with a life-changing
understanding of myself and my family. What I knew in my head wasn’t
what I did from my heart. This weekend showed me the difference. What I
wanted to do I didn’t know how to do until this weekend showed me and
gave me the confidence to try. The facilities were excellent, but the
care and camaraderie were beyond that. The session leaders were
excellent and quickly established a team orientation rather than
focusing on individuals, yet every individual’s situation was explored
for the benefit of the individual and the group. It was a weekend
surrounded by professionals who were willing to listen with empathy and
eager to help. I continue to correspond with the men I met and share
successes and challenges.
