Ex-Gay Ex-Lesbian Charlene E. Hios Shares Her Story

[rosiebeh7]

I'm proud of you Charlene. Let's pray for everyone to open their hearts, and their minds. May they all see the truth that you have found. Bless you.

[allys0nwonderland]

I think the part about this that I just refuse to wrap my head around, is how, God is being defended by Charlene for his advocacy of Slavery & Chauvinism towards Women, to the effect of "well that's just the way it WAS." As in, that was the past, & now things have changed. THOSE things can change, but this closed-minded ideology of loving another soul who just happens to be in a similar body to yours is still unacceptable? That does not sound like a God who loves all...

[JoeMahedy41]

@CharleneHios -- If you post you tube videos for the world to see, then you have to accept that there are people who will not believe you....I'm sorry but I am one of them. I think your fear of god is the reason you will not act on your natural feelings...you are a tortured soul and I will continue to feel sorry for you.

Your quote "emotions get you into trouble" tells the true story.

What was your goal in posting this video?

[CharleneHios]

Dusty your comment is uncalled for! We can talk if you have something a bit more intelligent to say okay?

[DustyNau]

omg shes so gonna lose it one day and have hot wild sex with a chick in a church bathroom stall...

poor girl

[xoschlegelxo]

whats the name of the song at the end?

[CharleneHios]

@xoschlegelxo someone told me what it was and I can not remember. as soon as I find out I will let you know

[JoeMahedy41]

No matter what she says or how she tries to lie about it....she is still gay. She just suppresses it, and that is a sin in her own heart. Follow your heart, it is the only way to true happiness.

[CharleneHios]

@JoeMahedy41 I am not lying! I am not still a Lesbian. God healed me of my same sex attractions. I am sorry that you do not believe that God could do that. He took me out of my sin.

[CharleneHios]

@JoeMahedy41 do not give folks advice to follow their hearts . . . emotions get you into trouble . . .

[jeweljgemini]

She made a choice .I have a close relationship with Yah (God) he said that weather Gay or choosing to be celebit is fine either way; as long as i don't emerse myself into anything in life that takes the focus off of him.

[TheNewJeru777]

@jeweljgemini You are indeed praying to right GOD! You praying to the false GOD! The DEVIL!!! You are one sick ass creature! To say something like this.....That ALLAH (GOD), suppose had said to you! The great holy wouldn't say, anything of the kind. Only the DEVIL would say something like that you. You better be carefully who you are praying to. So therefore, you better know who you actually praying to the next time around. "It sounds to me, that you have some demons around you." "You are sick!"

[jeweljgemini]

@TheNewJeru777 Ha Ha Ha Ha, poor guy!

[TheNewJeru777]

@jeweljgemini No! You are the one is who poor! You are indeed praying to the wrong god. Whether you dis-believe it! "Check yourself, because are wrecking yourself!"

[TheNewJeru777]

@jeweljgemini You are a faggot! And you can't rap either! DAM FAGGOT ASS PIECE OF DOG SHIT ON THE CURB! DYKE!

[jeweljgemini]

@TheNewJeru777 Now Demons are definately in you, Fa sho! Lol Ok , Say it with me Three times: DEVIL I REBUKe You IN THE name/blood of Jesus!

[TheNewJeru777]

@TheNewJeru777 NO! Your momma and daddy is the demon! For having your faggot ass come in this world! Your momma need to be slapped shit silly for producing you from womb! Your momma is seriously corrupted! FAGGOT!

[CharleneHios]

@jeweljgemini I am so glad you have a personal relationship with Yhwh (G-d)

God will not tell you something that goes against His word. His words tell us in many places that having sex with a person of the same gender is not what He intended.

[CharleneHios]

@jeweljgemini I guess you could say I made a choice, yet when God starts impressing upon you that homosexuality is sinful do you really have much of a choice . . .

[CharleneHios]

@jeweljgemini Of yes! I totally agree with you . . . keep your focus on God and I know He will open your eyes to those things He wants you to not do anymore . . . focus focus focus . . . if He tells you homosexuality is sinful will you still follow him?

[cynt123able]

To believe that being homosexual prevents you from being a decent human being is ludicris. The bible is written by human beings it is filled with prejudice and intolerance.

[cynt123able]

Not practicing safe sex passes aids. Homsexuals stop allowing hetrosexuals define you. If you have bad character traits then by all means do something about it but please stop throwing the baby out with the bath water.

[566791967]

Listen AppleUBrain.U are defending your feelings..Its obviously that U are gay. Ok but I am not judging your feelings but ur actions towards your feelings are wrong and the Lord did not make u to be like the beasts of the field U are either a man or a woman made in the image of God and u definitely don't understand what that is about...Get Educated and read the bible correctly and join is in the struggle to please the LORD. You will be angry and frustrated later if u dont Quit behaving like dat

[ApplyUrBrain]

@566791967: re your post a year ago, which I'm just seeing. As one who went from first grade to grad school in private religious schools, and who's degree is in religion, I would happily pit my knowledge of the Bible against yours any day of the week. I know what an utterly cruel monster your God, particularly of the Old Testament, was and is, and I would NOT join you in your "struggle" to please the Lord! A god who behaves like the one in the OT deserves our scorn, not our worship!

[DawnFaerie]

And it pisses me off that this has the same theme song as antiques roadshow. I love that program and now I have a bad assoiciation. D: <

[CharleneHios]

@DawnFaerie you will have to speak to comcast, they are the ones who used that music not us . . .

[DawnFaerie]

12 women in 18 years? Seriously? With that face?

[CharleneHios]

@DawnFaerie Come on Dawn . . . why are you being mean . . . plus why are you being so judgmental . . . is that really called for . . .

[ApplyUrBrain]

Vivaldi would turn over in his grave, if he knew they used his music on this show to promote DIS-integration of the soul. Why can't these fundamentalist nutcakes just tend their own lives & leave others alone? What sad & pathetic lives they must lead. Imagine having to come home to either one of these characters. I'm so glad I was rescued from fundamentalism. Now I live my life according to what is just & good & makes sense. These people make it so complicated. There can't be real joy in that.

[michigan6443]

@ApplyUrBrain She was set free from her sexual addiction whats wrong with that? remember Ellens Girl Ann Heche? well Ann left Ellen and Married a man. One characteristic of homo addiction is the multiple partners which is why aids spread so fast through the bath houses etc... some homo addicted men have several boy toys.

[ApplyUrBrain]

michigan, I'll be blunt: Your ignorance is showing. Do some reading. Stop calling homosexuality "addiction." ANYone can have so-called sexual addiction, whether gay or straight. Treating sexual addiction does not mean giving up sex or changing your sexual orientation. Also, ANYone can have multiple sex partners, including straight men. Get a grip! Also, ANYone can get married to a person of either sex. That doesn't change their sexual orientation. Get educated on the basics, please. Read up!!

[566791967]

IT does not make it moral even if you are inborn with it..which is not true....There are other factors...You are just protecting your self worth and I understand that...But you are also judging Gods word and anyone who agrees with it...Get Educated in the Lord.......

[ApplyUrBrain]

@566791967, YOU're the one needing to "Get educated"! Obviously you don't know the WHOLE Bible, only the parts read by preachers or in your lessons. You fundamentalists don't know or don't CARE that God strongly endorsed SLAVERY, considered women to be the property of husbands & couldn't talk in church, & that God behaved just like the evil pagan gods of the day. Yet you hang on a couple of ambiguous texts to condemn some people from LOVING another, in the way natural for them, hurting no one!

[CharleneHios]

@ApplyUrBrain God did not endorse slavery or women being property . . . it was just how it was . . . if you read in the Newer Testament, Jesus and the Apostle Paul elevated women and slavery was still in existence however it was not God who was promoting it. It was the evil of men who promoted it

[ApplyUrBrain]

@CharleneHios: Please read more! God himself listed women as property of men in the 10 Commandmnts. God himself told people to capture slaves & where buy them, to keep forever & pass on to heirs. MANY texts talk favorably of slavery & support beating slaves to near death. NEVER does God or Bible even HINT slavery is bad. Paul did the OPPOSITE of "elevating" women, he's the one quoted in support of keeping women down! If God is real & the Bible is his word, WHY are these horrible things in it?

[CharleneHios]

@ApplyUrBrain Apply you really are incorrect and you truly are the one who must educate yourself . Millions of people come out of their homosexuality. It is not an orientation.

[ApplyUrBrain]

@CharleneHios: When you say "Millions of people have come out of their homosexuality," you stand alone with the religious fundamentalists who are known for their commitment to CHERISHED BELIEFS, not their commitment to truth wherever it leads. They are the ONLY ones who would make such a ridiculous statement such as yours. It is defied by science and all known evidence. Do some research outside your own little box of religious cliché's that you employ to fool yourself.

[pcsassy03]

The blood of those who kill themselves because of your hateful sham program, is on your hands. God is love and your interpretations are absolutely incorrect. You make me sick.

[michigan6443]

@pcsassy03 You need to check your anger and hatred at the door sir.

[pcsassy03]

@michigan6443 I'm not a sir. And my anger is justified when ignorance kills people.

[henrypeckstv]

where is the nearest HA! group?

[petekurt]

Charlene as you so lovingly said on my Facebook account last nite, "CUT THE CRAP!"

[savedbygrace1972]

Not everyone is cured of same sex attractions but acting out those desires is sinful. God led me out of a lesbian relationship ten years ago and completely changed my life!

[Flid666]

That it what you call a Hasbian dear.

[NinaDeLaNoche]

@Flid666 Hahaha! "Hasbian" lol. Bette Porter and Peggy Peabody ;-)

[CharleneHios]

Charlene Hios here: Thanks Jesus4mankind for your encouragement. As you can see if you reply in a positive manner to my true story you will be zapped with hateful comments as well. YouTubers who leave hateful comments about ex-gays should be careful they do not get turned in for "hate crimes" as well. Something to think about for the hateful ones. Jesus4mankind I so wish others could experience the peace we have only through His blood, Jesus' blood. Take care.

[mtrlgmtrlb]

I got on my knees, started talking to jesus, and now my girlfriend is satisfied. Thank you jesus.

[CharleneHios]

my friends + I prayed for u as it isn't good to mock JC. It WAS the healing power of God who took me out of this sin. Do I detect some convicting on yr part that u inwardly struggle with it being a sin as well. I pray for u + yr salvation. If u truly want out of homosexuality then truly do get on yr knees + pray repentance to God and u will be the one who will be satisfied beyond measure. Satisfied with a peace u have never imagined. It is okay. Please, trust in the healing power of God.

[CharleneHios]

@mtrlgmtrlb well, you can joke about it all you want dear one, but when you meet your maker on judgment day I hope you have a personal relationship with God . . . I pray you go to heaven when you die

[badone112002]

She chose the wrong religion to put her faith and belief in. If you are going to simply believe something is true then why not believe in something that doesn't come with self hatred attached as part of its teachings? How about believing in a god who lives inside rainbows and then have faith that your belief is real.

H.A. hahahahaahaha!

[CharleneHios]

@badone112002 it is not a joking matter and are you sure you want to be laughing at God

[badone112002]

@CharleneHios Oh I know it isnt a joke. I have lived through and recovered from the damage this type of religious venom can inflict. It is maddening that people dont think outside the box, question everything and learn to love themselves. In other words ...use their mind and trust their intuition and stop allowing others to try to scare them. Now I can laugh at it but it took a long long time

[mimiandana]

homosexual anonymous!!! HAHA. so funny. These people think it's still a disease. haha oh well.

[CharleneHios]

what can I say? Nothing I say will get through to you. Know that you are being held up in prayer. If you desire acceptance of yourself why do you not give it to those of us who have come out of homosexuality?

[mimiandana]

I don't need to be in your prayers out of pity because I and many people are living a lifestyle you believe God doesn't have planned for us.. I am completely confident in who I am. When the day comes, you will know what God wanted for all of us... AND I will too. I'm thinking He wants us all to live as happy individuals connecting as one big masterpiece. It's not a disease. Even if it was... MOST diseases are not curable. I chose to live a happy,productive,inspirational life as who I am.

[michigan6443]

@mimiandana How is being a slave to homosexuality happiness?

[566791967]

You are not free if you practice homosexuality..You are having a problem in knowing what life is all about.. I know u did not create those feelings but its still a Sin..Sin is a word you do not understand because you defend your feelings when you talk about homosexuality so you cant have understanding of that word............If you need help understanding terms i will help U.......

[504ChocolateDrop]

Thankyou so much for sharing your video. I am one who is also coming out homosexuality with women for over 15 years. The flesh is such a powerful thing, but as I cling and latch onto God and His word and His promises and strengthen my relationship with Him, the my fleshly desires are dying down even when I don't pay attention to it. So I thank God for using you to minister to ppl like me who are struggling and are coming out of this homosexual lifestyle! God bless!

[504ChocolateDrop]

I am going to pray for all of you who said evil, coniving things about My God, my Lord and Saviour and this woman...when the world comes to an end, and do know that we are in the last days, I pray God have mercy on your souls. Im definitely going to keep you all in my prayers and that God will save your soul if you are not already saved. The things that most have said on here brings great sadness to my heart.

[CharleneHios]

Thank you for your kind words of affirmation. It gets really sad reading all the hateful comments.

[qtriste]

HAHAH SUCKER! He said God created Homosexual ! Then why the fuck you wanna change it! LIARSSSS! I'm a lesbian and freaking proud of it!

[CharleneHios]

Interesting that you heard what you want to hear. Why do you even need to revert to such language. God did not create homosexuals. God turned us over to the depravity of our minds, homosexuality is a judgement from God not a creative act.

[Popsicle1988]

Oh brother. Yet another one brainwashed by (fundie-ism)

This is getting serious.

[CAMARGONE]

She still has a lesbian fashion sense!

[drmarthacastro]

hahaha....she certainly still LOOKS like a real dike.

[CanadianMetal111]

God made you who you are , who the fuck is anyone to tell you what you are... Christian churches take away individual freedom and rule in fear.... If there is a god these fuckers will burn in hell. Be an individual and I personally as a good person and straight wishe to ban these assholes. You or your lies will never win over the smart people who dont follow false ideology. I am not a satanist , I am a HUMAN with a mind and a sence of understanding , I am an individual

[Here4Years]

Individuals who claim to be 'ex-gay' are just those who have chosen to live in closets. (Mostly just to please those around them.)

[KingJillian]

She's just old now.. and womanless...

So, she thinks it will be easier to find a man.

WRONG.

She's stupid.

This is stupid.

[magnusXbane]

meh, her problem is she fuck ugly and couldn't get a girl. She thinks she has a better chance to get a guy xD good luck with that old dumb ass.

[Crazkid]

I talked to Jesus and he said he loves me just the way i am

GAY

its not a choice

that poor woman

i hope she realizes that she's only hurting herself

[566791967]

you are deceived love....Your own emotions talked to you because The Lord did not condone homosexuality or lesbianism..

[TheNewJeru777]

Its just like a faggot to say something like this! This woman in this video piece. Finally realized that, ALLAH (GOD), is the true absolute master of all things. And that she was living an absolute perverted lifestyle. That is (and was) destroying from within her true self. And that this type of lifestyle is like an drug addiction. Which in turn cause to come to terms with, ALLAH (GOD), right way being and living. Homosexuality does indeed destroy you mentally and physically. Gay is a wrong!

[FauxyBoi]

@TheNewJeru777

your wife clearly left you for a woman. get your bitter ass outta here.

[TheNewJeru777]

@FauxyBoi Muthafucka! You don't even know the hell your talking about! You stupid ass piece of dog shit laying on the of an curb conceited bastard! SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU RETARDED FAG!

[FauxyBoi]

@TheNewJeru777

do I sense some hostility in the ranks?.....my point exactly.

[acme181169]

Hey Charlene (if you ever see this), I kust hope you're genuinely happy.

[CharleneHios]

Charlene Hios here! Yes, I look at this daily and pray for all the negative comments. Thanks for hoping I am happy. When jesus came into my life He has filled me with a peace that is so wonderful I do not need anything. Hard for many to imagine. I just pray that one day they that were negative to my testimony can experience this peace . . .

[MattXICE]

how stupid can people get

[puddingzombie]

jesus4mankind you are a jackass plain and simple

HAIL SATAN!!!!!!

[TheGrungeScene]

if "God" was real and he "loves you" you would think he would love you the way you are. I don't really care if I pissed you off.

[JoshLeeR]

I have two explanations for this.

This is either FAKE as hell, or that bitch STILL BUTCH and she STILL is a RUG DOCTOR! LOL

[CharleneHios]

Charlene Hios here speaking to Josh . . . well, neither of your explanations were correct. Jesus Christ healed me of this lifestyle and opened my eyes to the truth. Josh 20 years ago I would have thought the same thing, that my video must have been fake . . but now I know the truth . . . Josh I hope you will one day know the truth and peace that comes only through a personal relationship with God . . .

[JoshLeeR]

what if I said that I already have a personal relationship with God, and he made me who I am. Through the Lord I am gay, because he made me this way. I am not ashamed of something I am and never will be. I don't understand your point of view because I have already tried to do what you say you have done, repent and be straight, there is nothing at all that could have helped me because I AM GAY. Jesus never said anything about being gay, or it being a sin for that matter. CHECK YOUR FACTS.

[CharleneHios]

Hey Josh if you said you do have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ then I am so excited for you and the peace you should have because of it . . .

[CharleneHios]

However Josh a person who is at peace in their relationship with Jesus would not call me what you did in your orginal post and you would be a bit more gracious towards anyone's opinion. I would love to hear your testimony.

[CharleneHios]

Josh your reaction to my testimony could be one of conviction. You know deep down inside of you that God did not make you or anyone else gay, homosexual, lesbian.

You are right that Jesus did not mention the act of homosexuality however He did speak many times of God's intension when it concerned marriage and the man and woman becoming one. A man and a man can not become one as God intended it to be. The parts just do not fit so God did not make you that way Josh!

[CharleneHios]

Josh it took me two years of struggling to realize that God did not make me that way, a lesbian. I became a follower of Jesus and it was a slow process indeed. The same sex attractions did not go away right away and some times they still pop up. What matters is not that you have the attractions, that is not the sin, the sin is acting out sexually on those same sex attractions my brother. There is hope, there is always hope yet Satan is going to try really hard to keep you to himself. Pray hard!

[JoshLeeR]

you aren't getting it. I don't want to change. I'm not struggling! I'm living a very fulfilling life being gay, I'm an artist, I take beautiful photographs, I learn and love and feel love and hope every day of my life... I am a follower of a different God than you, see my God believes in LOVING, not condemning or sinning or hell. I respect that you are coming out as an ex-gay but at the same time I have to disagree with your view of what homosexuality is.

[CharleneHios]

Josh if you indeed are in Christ Jesus then know that you will one day struggle. There is only one God. yes God through Jesus does love all of us regardless of how we live our lifes but He does not like the way we live our lifes. A follower of Jesus is constantly being pruned. You may not realize it now but eventually you will. I would love to see some of your art work and photographs. Do you ever post them on line for others to appreciate?

[JoshLeeR]

Yes I do, it's at redbubble and you type in a search for lilauto24

[CharleneHios]

If ineed you are a loving soul why did you react as you did to my video? It was a very hateful response to my sharing of how God has moved in my life. It was not hateful at all. I shared the truth of how God took me out of the homosexual life and healed me of it. I thought I was perfectly happy in that life and felt I was living a good life as well. Then God convicted me that it was not what He intended. Why so much hate from a group who asks for acceptance. Why can't they give what they ask?

[JoshLeeR]

That first comment was posted 7 months ago. My life is changed now and my heart is full of love, it's just that I want people to know that this is not the only way. There is not only one way to heaven! There possibly can't be. If someone who had never heard of Jesus passed away would he go to hell for something he didn't know? There is NOT only one God. How can you be so sure that Jesus doesn't like the way WE live our lives... so by saying that are you admitting to still being gay?

[CharleneHios]

Josh Jesus did say in John 17:17 in his prayer to God the Father "Sanctify them with truth, Your word is truth" Josh Jesus is saying that what God states is truth. Josh the Bible is God's word and there are many references to where God calls the act of homosexuality a sin, and Jesus states that what God says is the truth. So Josh I do know the facts, I have checked them many times, trust me. I use to think just like you that Jesus never said it was wrong. But he did, God did, that is truth

[JoshLeeR]

The bible is not God's word, though, you can't say without a doubt that it's the innate word of God. I am not religious, I'm spiritual. God did not say being gay was a sin. It says in Leviticus 18:22 that man shall not lie with a man as he does with a woman, told to moses back in the old testament, now we have the NEW testament, so those things although being poorly translated, do not need to be used in this day and age, we are living in a different time now. God knows who he made!

[CharleneHios]

Josh I hate to tell you this but the bible that Jesus used was the Old Testament . He said nothing about it still not pertaining to people. The majority of the NT refers to the OT. As for translation it is one of the most researched and best translated book out there. I believe you are just repeating things you have heard because they are tickling your ear to hearing perhaps what you do not want to hear, that acting out on your same sex attraction sexually is not what God intended.

[CharleneHios]

I do believe that the Bible is God breathed, God inspired. In essensce it is the word of God, Jesus said nothing about homosexuality Josh but Jesus did say God's word is TRUE. . .if you hold what Jesus says as creedance then you can not pick and choose what He said can you? Jesus said in John 17:17 that God's word is truth. He was referring to the Bible my brother. You are holding Jesus' words in high esteem by what you said about His not speaking on homosexuality, so will you hold to truth?

[boozewalk]

there is a Satanic Bible and a church of Satan!

hey! why not get gays and lesbians together and have a bisexual orgy, maybe some alcohol and some grass.... whatever.

[CharleneHios]

kolkron you really are under conviction aren't you! Folks please pray that this person will see the truth and that God will give this person the peace only God can grant.

[CharleneHios]

Hey there kolkron .. . that was not a very nice comment, please know that I said a prayer for you as soon as I received your email. I have no problem with how I look. It is me and I am God's child. Smile. God loves you kolkron and I do too . . .

[Randallforchrist]

I thank you for speaking out about such a terrible condition. I consider myself ex-gay and I owe it to ministries like this one. Peace and power of his word!!!

[CharleneHios]

Thanks so much Randal. I will keep you in my prayers and know I am thankful for you. God is so good and with Him we can do all things.

[davidshep45]

Thank you for sharing your story Charlene.I am happy you have found peace in your life through the lord. I am 46 years old and am her to testify you can have a happy life living as a homosexual, enjoying sexual intercourse with a same sex partner and still love the lord. Here's how. Take your bible and throw it out the window. Then have a one on one talk with the lord. He loves you just the way you are. Stay away from organized religion and keep a one on one relationship with God. Peace.

[CharleneHios]

Hey David, remember that you can not serve two masters. God intended that you partner sexually with the opposite sex. Regardless of whether you threw the Bible away or not . . . when you look at the way man and woman are designed anatomically you will see that they fit together sexually. Man and man does not fit even if you try. If you do not believe me then visit a proctologist and see the damage that is being done. Believe science if you can not believe the Bible.

[puddingzombie]

well if you really want to go into detail there is also the mouth

[gandcharr]

Thank you for sharing from a Christian perspective (something we don't get too often!). And thank you for sharing the real hope that is in Jesus. Praying for you as you minister.

[kofi747]

Good clip, Charlene. Thanks for that. Keep up the good work! I'd like to see the whole DVD. Take care.

[kofi747]

Good clip, Charlene! Thanks for doing such a good job. Keep up the good work. I'd be interested in seeing the full DVD. God bless!

[tkneeburg]

Thanks for sharing your story, Charlene. Jesus loves sinners (but not sin) whether the sin is homosexual acts, adultery, lying, stealing, etc. We all have at least one area that we struggle with. Praise God for the hope and forgiveness that can be found in Jesus! Terry K.

[CharleneHios]

Hey Terry . . . you got it right . . . Praise the Lord . . . I hope you will pass this on to your friends so we can get it up in the ratings . . .

[1slicendice]

Praise God for you Charlene! May your story help others that are wanting God's freeing power.

[CharleneHios]

Thanks so much for your encouragement. This is but a 5 minute clip of a DVD the pastor and I did entitled "Homosexuality From A Christian Perspective" . . . if you would like the entire DVD just let me know. It does not cost anything at all. It is part of the ministry to provide it to those who would like a copy. The whole thing is 2 hours long.

[willbemt]

Great job, Charlene. I hope a lot of people see the video and realize you say this with the utmost sincerity and honesty. I wish it were longer.

[CharleneHios]

Thank you as well for your encouragement. This is actually but a 5 minute clipping of a 2 hour DVD my pastor and I did at comcast. It showed on the local cable station for over a few months. If you would like a copy just let me know and I will get it to you. Or I can send you the links to the whole thing.

[muzikfrk9]

Great job! Thanks for being so open and honest in sharing your struggles online. However, it was a bit short - would love to hear more about your story.

[CharleneHios]

Thank you as well for your encouragement. It is a clipping from a 2 hour DVD my pastor and I did. It is available and there is no cost to you at all. Or I can post the links for you .

[muzikfrk9]

Great job, Charlene! Thanks for being so open and honest. However, I would love to hear more about your struggles in this area, since the clip was a bit short. Talk to you soon!

[mcdufferswife]

Interesting, Charlene...but way too short. I'm sure your story is fascinating, and the world needs to know how you strove to change yourself. The inner turmoil must have been tremendous,and you show your true grit to have dealt with all of the issues. My admiration goes out to you...now go and expand the history........Bobbie

[CharleneHios]

Thanks for your encouragement! There is a longer version. It is about 2 hours. I can send you a copy of it or send you the links?

[sunnyoaks]

Charlene courageously continues her work and I was pleased to encourage that. Nearly 1000 copies of the complete DVD have been asked for, and this without an ad placed--merely word of mouth. Many will examine the message without needing to attack the messenger and may find that there is something there for them. Kent Philpott

[canicas7]

Charlene great job you got my 5 star rating!!

May the Lord use your testimony to give hope to many that need it, to know Christ can help them break free of whatever bondage they are in! take care!

Miguel

[parker94941]

Great video and show.

Charlene is so sincere. Her story is heartwarming. A good video for christians to watch

Great Job, Charlene! I hope everyone listens to what you have to say about your own experience. Jesus can transform life. Just as you said, just submit yourself to Jesus, He will make that transformation real.

Well done and very helpful. Opened my eyes to hope for so many. I hope a lot of people of all sexual persuasions will take the time to listen to Charlene's story.

Great Job Charlene!

I'm impressed by your transparency! No one should be enslaved by their own identity, no matter what it is.

And I think the music reminds me of Masterpiece Theatre!

Hello Lisa; I am still at the retreat and even though they have an internet connection none of us are able to get a cell phone connection. I will not have phone access until this coming Monday

Hello Lisa . .. I am still at the retreat and even though they have an internet connection the phone coverage is non existant . . . is it urgent? I can try to drive out from the retreat area to get reception?
