I think you're misunderstanding what I mean when I say "disassociate from all previous orientations". That is an internal disassociation. That's not saying someone who has been delivered from homosexuality can't or shouldn't be a witness to others. But caution must be used. Just as we wouldn't encourage an ex-alcoholic to go back into a spiritually-unhealthy environment (think bar) to witness if they were still battling temptation with alcohol, so we would not encourage an "ex-gay" to subject themselves to an environment where they might feel they would succumb to temptation. Paul said, "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." (
Rom 13:14)
