Exodus sent out a press release encouraging people to “tune-in” to the Montel Williams show today to see guest Alan Chambers. This may confuse those who tune in because today’s show is actually about “Murder and Mystery with Sylvia Browne.”
The show with Alan is being taped today with the broadcast probably a week or so later. You can always see Montel’s schedule for the final word.
Maybe he will announce that he is beyond living beyond his feelings and completely heterosexual again. Or he might announce that that he can never be as he never was, or never was as he can never be….. Oh, I give up. 🙂
Hey… maybe Chambers will be on the Friday show entitled “SPOILED ROTTEN” – Today’s MONTEL is a wake up call for parents who are raising spoiled children.
I visited with Mike Jones last night for dinner. Mike told us about the Montel taping and I hope, when they edit the piece, it’s as good as he described. For one thing, they invited several “exgay” types to join him. One couple backed out when they heard that Montel was going to talk about the husband’s number of sexual couplings (over 500) before getting married to a girl.
On the air, though, Exodus shill Alan Chambers got nailed by Montel for his frequent dissemblings.
Mike told me that Montel became so frustrated with Chambers that he had his staff go to the Exodus website and print out Alan’s words. Then he thrust them in his face during the taping. I hope all this gets into the final edit.
Mike said, also, that his book is going to reveal a lot of things about our Rev. Ted Haggard which is going to be quite incendiary. For the record, I adore Mike Jones. He’s a simple, easy and sweet guy. But he is also smart and sharp and funny, with a great wit. He’s not some simpleton himbo by any means. No matter what you might think of people in his former profession, this man is not a pushover and not stupid. Behind those blue eyes is a very honest and forthright person who spoke out because, in his words, “he had to.”
BTW, he is putting his massage table up on eBay — a massage table I said belonged in the Smithsonian — and all the proceeds are going to Project Angel Heart in Denver, which feeds people with AIDS and other life debilitating diseases. Look for it.
Wow Steve, and I also hope that is what is broadcast. Alan’s worst nightmare: someone prepared to actually listen to him, and ask why what he just said is not the same as he said last time. Not hard to do, but people don’t seem to want to bother.
(The other guest wasn’t Tom Cole, was it?)
Or to take dear Dolly’s words (“It takes a lot of money to look this cheap!”), one for Alan…
“It takes a lot of lying to look this honest”.
How our worldview lens colors our perceptions!
Ex-gays in Montel’s audience saw the taping quite differently. https://wthrockmorton.com/2007/03/10/montel-williams-revisits-sexual-reorientation/
I hope if the segment is aired, America sees Montel for culturally co-opted Uncle Tom that he is.
