I completely missed how it headed in that direction. Did I miss something? There always seems to be such an enormous fear of this topic.

Re: Don't Ask....Don't Tell. Good Policy?
Praxeas, I think that is so totally out of bounds to ask someone a question like that. Totally inappropriate!
I don't think it is any of any one else's business what he did or felt with his wife.

I said it serves as a warning to KEEP it from heading that direction. Not that it was already heading that direction
And no I have no fear of the topic

So its ok to discuss his attraction to men but not to women? Sorry I disagree.
As far as business....the man just laid out his personal business here on a public forum. If he does not want to answer he does not have to.

I disagree. I think Prax's question can bring about an honest reaction within anyone who struggles with this problem.
Azzan is willing to be on this open Forum in discussion, and open it is.

Can you help us understand why the warning was posted? I've seen nothing that has promoted the gay lifestyle...in fact, the opposite...and the warning has the appearance of Admin fear of a tough subject. Rather than the ambiguous warning that doesn't specify what was wrong, can you tell us what happened? Darkness is frustrating. Give us some light.

Re: Don't Ask....Don't Tell. Good Policy?
I certainly don't think he should! I think it is all pretty obvious without asking. He was married and had kids and was attracted to the same sex. There are a lot of people with same sex attraction and some in ministry are that are married with kids.

Re: Don't Ask....Don't Tell. Good Policy?
If I remember correctly the AFF position was posted before.
Seems like a reminder to me.
