CCM "artist" Ray Boltz comes out as homosexual
Gospel singer Ray Boltz - who has sold about 4.5 million LPs, cassettes and CDs - has come out of the closet publicly in an interview with Washington Blade.
The formerly married singer, who has four children, came out to his family and friends several years ago. While sitting around the kitchen table at his daughter's house in December 2004 - the same day as the Tsunami in the Indian Ocean - Boltz's son, Philip, asked him what was wrong.
"I thought, 'Well, I can just do what I always do and hide the truth or I can take a risk and be honest,'" Boltz says. "That day, with the tsunami, has become very symbolic in our family."
Nobody was sure, at the time, what the ramifications of the revelation would be, least of all Ray.
"It's hard to say I came out because I didn't have all the answers. I just admitted what I was struggling with and what I was feeling. It's hard to go, 'This is the point where I accepted my sexuality and who I was,' but I came out to them and shared with them what I'd been going through."
Continuing to pretend, Boltz says, was no longer an option.
"I'd denied it ever since I was a kid. I became a Christian, I thought that was the way to deal with this and I prayed hard and tried for 30-some years and then at the end, I was just going, 'I'm still gay. I know I am.' And I just got to the place where I couldn't take it anymore … when I was going through all this darkness, I thought, 'Just end this.'"
His family's reaction took time.
"I don't want to downplay it like it was just, 'Oh, well that's OK.' It was a very tough time for them too, but the bottom line was they loved me and they still love me … it's been an amazing journey of acceptance on their part … I was offered support and love from each member of my family, including my wife."

The Very Strange World Of Rick Ousley's Accuser, Donna Jones

Regular readers of this blog will remember the Rick Ousley case. Ousley, long time pastor of a liberal Southern Baptist mega church stepped down from his personal ministry after admitting he had an extra marital affair with Ms. Donna Jones of Katy Texas. (Ousley retired from The Church at Brook Hills and founded his personal ministry "Quixotic Ministries.")
Religion reporter Greg Garrison scored a front page story thanks to the eagerness of Donna Jones to finally spill her guts about her long term sexual relationship with Rick Ousley.
A blog of sorts sprung up which gleefully reported the downfall of Ousley. Donna Jones soon made her way there and began posting hundreds of comments about her relationship with Ousley.
I soon noticed a glaring pattern of "sound the same" comments from Donna and people claiming to be her supporters, some who said they knew her and some who said they didn't. I reported here that the webmistress reluctantly and (only at the urging of others) finally admitted that posts by Donna Jones and posts by people who claimed they did not know Donna Jones, and even people who claimed to know her, all shared not only an obvious speech pattern, but the same ISP number.
Let me break that down. Many of the anti-Rick Ousley posts were being made under different names by Donna Jones, from her computer.
The webmistress and other Christian bashers at that site were willing to look the other way at the fraud perpetrated by Donna Jones of Katy Texas.
Four months later and Donna Jones is still at it. But she got a little careless and forgot that she was signed in under her fake screen name of Nathan. Not only did she write the post as Donna Jones, she signed her posts "Donna Jones" all the while forgetting that she was using the "Nathan" log in. Here is a screen capture of one of Donna Jones' fake posts.

"Nathan" is exposed as a fake. Donna Jones is exposed as a fraud, AGAIN.

As quick as Donna Jones made the post under a fake persona she had created, but signed her own name to, McMullen closed that section of her blog and opened a new section for comments, directing all the traffic to the "cleansed" area, where it would be harder to find Donna's glaring self exposure as a fraud.
But why is the webmistress Kathy McMullen, content to let the fraud continue. Read her blog and it will become obvious, it's a pro-sodomite, anti-christian blog of extremes. McMullen has an agenda. She thinks it is important to bring Rick Ousley down.
Newsflash: That was already done.
What is going on now at Kathy's blog is making Rick Ousley look better and better all the time.
Thanks Kathy, I bet Rick Ousley appreciates all you do for him.
Next question, where is the Birmingham News?
Isn't it just as important to report ALL the news?
