As a young man, Walter played football at Michigan State University, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Sociology. He graduated from the United States International University, now Alliant International University, with a Master’s degree in Business Administration in 1983. In 1984, God used the premature birth of his firstborn son (six months, 2.1 pounds) to teach Rev. Hoye that the preborn is a person, a living &, breathing human being. Walter is an ordained Baptist minister. He served as Minister of Christian Education at the St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Oceanside, California, as Assistant to the Pastor and Director of the Youth Department at the Greater Faith Baptist Church in Stockton, California, and as the Executive Elder of the Progressive Missionary Baptist Church of Berkeley. In May of 2010, Walter resigned to work full-time in the Pro-Life movement. He was asked to join a group of pro-life sidewalk counselors, to pray and give out literature to women on their way to the entrance of an abortuary. His ministry blossomed so much that the abortuary lost a great deal of business, and they complained to the Oakland authorities, who literally created a law just to put Rev. Hoye in jail. Though in court Rev. Hoye and his attorney from Life Legal Defense proved both that Walter did absolutely nothing illegal and that the only witness against him blatantly lied, the pro-abortion judge made sure Rev. Hoye unjustly went to jail, which he did. The judge, in fa

We Need to Stop the Killing
Fr Stephen Imbarrato, a pro-life activist, commonly referred to as the “Protest Priest,” has made regular appearances on EWTN Catholic TV and is one of the leaders of the Red Rose Rescue movement. Fr Stephen believes we can end preborn child killing peacefully yet decisively…and sooner than we may think is possible. While attending Holy Apostles Seminary, Father helped start a crisis pregnancy center across the street from an abortion business. He explains, “…being across from the abortion mill showed me how important it is to have ministries of life directly across from the gates of death.” Ordained in May of 2005 for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, Father Stephen learned of a small adoration chapel located directly across from a Planned Parenthood facility in Albuquerque. Using the chapel as a focal point and prompted by the Holy Spirit to rejuvenate Project Life–which was dedicated to prayer vigils and sidewalk counseling in front of Planned Parenthood–Father Stephen gathered a group of laypeople, forming the Project Defending Life.

The FULL Transition Story. Is There a Happy Ending?
Billy Burleigh struggled with his sexual identity since the age of five. His first memory of this struggle was standing in front of the school he was attending, looking at all the other kids, wondering where he belonged, and having this thought, “God made a mistake, I’m a girl.” Billy did not share this thought with anyone but continued on to graduate from high school. He graduated college with a Bachelors and a Masters in Mechanical Engineering, and he swam competitively for the college he attended. On the outside, it appeared that Billy had it all pulled together. But the struggle in Billy’s mind about his sexual identity did not go away. Billy fought his thoughts for years before agreeing with his thoughts. He transitioned to appearing as a woman, changed his legal documents, and presented as a woman for about seven years. But the problems he was trying to resolve only became worse. At this point Billy called out to God, he gave both his life and all of his problems to God. Now, Billy is married to a beautiful lady, has two daughters, a son-in-law, and is living for God.

Transitioning isn’t a cure. Hear the Whole Story
Detransitioner Maritza Cummings: What is it like to be born in the wrong body? Where did this phenomenon come from? I will explain my view point and lived experience that I’ve been through for the past 38 years. First, I lived as a lesbian for 22 years, then I transitioned and lived as a male transsexual for an additional 17 years. I was born in Havana, Cuba. My mother was given a form of estrogen to prevent miscarriages. She was able to carry me to term, but not without ramifications. I dealt with all sorts of health issues ranging from asthma to reproductive female issues. I had a deeper voice, bad menses, and a slew of emotional and neurological instabilities. I was sexually molested from the age of 8 to the age of 12. I was socially awkward and did not fit in with other kids. I was mature for my age and preferred the company of adults over children in my age group. My parents were dysfunctional. My father was an abusive alcoholic and control freak, my mother was emotionally incapable of dealing with my demands –she was a very ill woman and was very spoiled by my grandmother. I truly believe that many of our childhood traumas come back to haunt us as adults. Many unresolved emotional issues show themselves in various faucets of disassociation and grief, to the point we create poor coping skills to mask the real pain. I believe same-sex attraction stems from rejection, sexual abuse, and/or a mother or a father wound.

A Warning from a Former-Trans Child
Erin Brewer developed a trans identity in first grade. She did everything she could to be a boy. Her teacher sent her to the school psychologist for assessment because her behavior was concerning. Thankfully the school psychologist did not affirm her, instead she came up with a plan for her mother and teacher to help Erin manage her difficult feelings. It took years for Erin’s trans identity to resolve but she is thankful that she got the help she needed to address the underlying cause of her trans identity rather than being told she was born in the wrong body and inherently flawed. Erin grew up in Salt Lake City and earned a B.S. from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. She has a Doctorate in Instructional Technology and Learning Science from Utah State University. Erin shares her deeply personal story to help others understand the damage that is being done to our children by the transgender movement.

What is it Like to be the Family Member of Someone who Transitions?
Maria Polaris (not her real name) and her husband’s lives were turned upside down when their daughter ran away from home after her first year of college in 2015. Someone they didn’t know picked up their daughter and helped her attempt to change sex. "Since then,", Maria says, "our family has had to find ways to cope, because once a child is 18, they can do whatever they want in the U.S. including, full medical transition without psychological assessments. This has led to regret and grave errors in the medical community. Ohio has six major gender clinics with the largest one boasting over 1600 patients (funded by a family in the process of transitioning their own child since age 3).", Maria is now part of a support group for parents of Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria. They are also active advocates for more humane, evidence-based public policy in the area of gender identity. No one is "Born in the Wrong Body.", Previously it was nearly exclusively older males that wanted to "transition", to female. Now there’s a huge number of young girls, mostly teenage girls — a 5,000% increase. Even Catholic schools that have these "Spectrum Clubs.", PHLAG ("Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays,", with over 400 chapters and 200,000 members and supporters) and GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) are culprits offering money to schools to get their resources in the school.

WHO IS THE REAL SAINT NICK?
In this special edition of The Dr J Show, we delve into who is the "Fatman", in the red suit behind the fake beard. Saint Nicholas of Myra in Lycia, who lived about seven hundred years ago, was a Christian bishop and a man of God who fasted and sacrificed his life for his flock. He was not fat, and was a fierce defender of Christianity. He even slapped a man in public! He willingly went to a dungeon prison for faith in Jesus Christ. He also saved women from sexual slavery and men from execution. In this commercialized age, we benefit from learning about the REAL Saint Nicholas. Come hear the true story of the man who became a Saint. A story of hidden gifts, defending faith, and miracles. In this Ruth Institute Special, learn the truth and the history of this great man who inspired the creation of Santa Claus. St Nicholas’ ancient hymn In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence, your humility exalted you, your poverty enriched you. Hierarch Father Nicholas, entreat Christ our God that our souls may be saved. St Nicholas’ life at oca.org St Nicholas’ ancient hymns: Troparion or Kontakion
The UN is Forcing Abortion on Africa, but They Don’t Want It
Dr Wahome Ngare is a member of the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association, which blew the whistle in 2014 on a World Health Organization vaccine which was secretly laced with abortifacient and sterilization drugs. Their medical investigation shows that W.H.O. researchers conjugated tetanus toxoid with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. W.H.O. publications show a long-range purpose to reduce population growth in unstable “less developed countries.” Conjugating TT with hCG causes pregnancy hormones to be attacked by the immune system. “Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.” – Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger “At the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth, and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” – U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg The Kenyan Ministry of Health has been corrupted by Western NGOs: www.standardmedia.co.ke/kenya/article/2000142285/tetanus-jab-saga-exposes-serious-flaws-in-kenyas-handling-of-medical-products Topics discussed in this Dr J Show include: Kenya does not have a "population problem", the Constitution of Kenya specifically states life begins at conception, and every person has the right to life. Article 26 states abortion is legal if a doctor says the mother’s treatment or life or health is in danger. As with Roe v Wade, the word "health", is defined so broadly (depression, stress, etc.) that abortion on demand for any reason can be obtained. If the law is going to consider the right of "choice,", both mother &, child have this right. Any society that considers itself moral would fight for the person with less power, namely the more vulnerable preborn person. Pro-aborts scare women into believing the lie that abortion is safer than pregnancy. The truth is, maternal mortality is rare, almost zero. In countries with legal abortion, 99% or more are elective, killing healthy babies. NGOs (non-government organizations), often from the
Landmark Legal Decision! Therapists Can Help Same-Sex Attracted Youth!
Is it legal to restrict licensed individuals from pursuing their client’s therapy goals? Mat Staver is Founder of Liberty Counsel, which defends religious freedom in cases across the nation. He is also Chairman of the National Pro-life Center, Freedom Federation, Salt &, Light Council, and the National House of Hope. He serves as Vice President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, and was Vice President of Liberty University, as well as a former Dean and law professor. Mat has over 300 published legal opinions. He authored eight scholarly law review publications, and many books and publications. He is a frequent guest on many international and national television and radio programs and has been interviewed for thousands of media sources. Mat has filed numerous briefs and argued in many federal and state courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. He has argued two landmark cases before SCOTUS: Madsen v. Women’s Health Center, and, McCreary County v. ACLU of Kentucky. Prior to law school, Mat pastored several churches. In Otto v. City of Boca Raton, therapist Robert Otto sued the city for the right to talk with clients about their feelings of sexual attraction, the impact of those feelings, and strategies for improving the quality of their lives. The City of Boca Raton had passed an ordinance criminalizing “conversion therapy,” or “reparative therapy,” or, Sexual Orientation Change Efforts. It is simply not true that sexual orientation is an immutable trait. There is no "gay gene.", But if the Sexual Revolutionaries can convince people that gay is like being black, then they can apply anti-discrimination law to sexual behavior. The scientific fact is that there are numerous ways into an LGBT lifestyle, and there are numerous ways out. The Dr J Show has featured many people who left the "gay", lifestyle, happily. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit agreed with Mat Staver that this particular form of speech must not be banned. Topics discussed in this episode includ

The Fake Science Used to Force Roe V. Wade
The pro-abortion legal team behind Roe built their case around the work of a particular scholar. The problem? He faked the science and made the numbers up. There weren’t thousands of women dying of "coat hanger", abortions. They just needed you to believe there were. Roe v Wade was forced with fake science.

The Truthful Research The LGBT Couldn’t Tolerate
What do you do with research that doesn’t match your opinion? You demonize it, of course. That shows how tolerant you are. Dr. Mark Regnerus is a professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Austin and a senior fellow at the Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Culture. The author of 40 articles in peer-reviewed journals, his research and scholarly essays have appeared in media outlets as diverse as Slate and First Things. Dr. Regnerus’ books include The Future of Christian Marriage (2020), Cheap Sex: The Transformation of Men, Marriage, and Monogamy (2017), Premarital Sex In America: How Young Americans Meet, Mate, and Think About Marrying (2011), and Forbidden Fruit: Sex and Religion In The Lives of American Teenagers (2006). He and his wife Deeann have three children. Topics discussed in this episode of the Dr. J Show include Many "scientific", research studies are driven by, and corrupted by, an agenda. LGBTQIA+, apologists masquerading as scientists resist admitting the baseline differences in parenting results. LGBTQIA+, apologists add duplicate variables, because, if you keep adding variables, you can design your conclusion. 55% of children living under same-sex couples experience parental separation. There are professional pressures on researchers to ignore basic factors. The promiscuity &, relationship instability of the homosexual lifestyle inevitably leads to break-ups, which most harm children. Among homosexuals, "open", relationships of tolerated cheating is just "another way of loving.", SCOTUS’ Obergefell decision did nothing to diminish sexual minority distress. The fact is, neither hormones nor surgery helps mental health issues in transgenders. Even though a pro-trans study may be proven wrong, it still gets shared (cited) all around the world. LGBTQIA+, social media trolls create scandals and/or crises to discredit studies that disprove the gay or trans agenda. Homosexuals and transgenders do not like reality (the truths of this life).

He gives more than 150 radio and TV interviews annually. This episode of the Dr. J Show focuses on the connection between cultural and economic decline. Topics discussed include: All political battles are moral battles. We are in a national moral crisis. The Left seeks revolution–not just change, but the overthrow of the system. They don’t want the American order. Science separated from a moral foundation is technocratic tyranny. Leadership is service. To be yourself, you can’t be obsessed with being "equal", with everybody else. The sexes are different, not "equal.", Allowing everyone to develop themselves *unequally* is what makes society prosper. Resentment over our inequalities destroys societal harmony. Societal order focuses on mutually helpful relationships. Radically egalitarian societies always lead to disorder and bloodshed. Past revolutions sought to destroy exterior structures (church, government, society), but the Sexual Revolution seeks to destroy internal stuctures (identity, logic, being): in other words, self-annihilation. When he’s not writing, Mr. Horvat enjoys jogging

REMOVED BOOK! Talk with the Author of The Health Hazards of Homosexuality
Amazon banned this book, so we wanted to talk to the author and find out what was more important than the right to press. Brian Camenker has been the Director of Mass Resistance from its founding. A leading pro-family activist organization, MassResistance provides the information and guidance people need to confront assaults on the traditional family, school children, and the moral foundation of society. Based in Massachusetts, they have supporters and activists in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and several foreign countries.

The organization’s articles have appeared in American Thinker, Salvo Magazine, BarbWire, LifeSiteNews, The Massachusetts News, and The Jewish Advocate. In earlier years (when the mainstream media still reported on these issues) we were featured in the NBC Nightly News, CNN, CBS, ABC Evening News, MSNBC, National Public Radio, New York Times, and Fox News (O’Reilly Factor, Hannity &, Colmes, and America’s Newsroom with Megyn Kelly). More about MassResistance below the cut. MassResistance was founded in 1995 as Parents’ Rights Coalition. Since we were in the first state to see homosexual activism in the schools and “gay marriage,” we thoroughly understood the threat of sexual radicalism, curtailed freedom of speech, uneven application of the law, judicial activism, and post-constitutional government. We adopted the name MassResistance in 2006 when our role as the true resistance to tyrannical government became clear. Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr once described us as a “hardcore pro-family group.” We cover issues and events other conservative groups are afraid to touch. We don’t compromise with the Left. We provide analysis so the average person understands what’s really happening

Is There A Population Problem? Or Is There a Negative Growth Problem?
Human Rights Catastrophes of the Sexual Revolution: Population Control and Demographic Winter There is no overpopulation problem. The people in every industrial country in the world are not having enough children to even replace themselves. The birth rate is declining in most of the rest of the world as well. My interview with journalist Don Feder answers these important questions. Does overpopulation cause poverty or pollution? Why is under-population a bigger problem than over-population? What do you say to people who criticize you for having more than two children? Who is behind the population hysteria? What human rights abuses are being committed in the name of solving the "population problem?", Most importantly, what can you do about all this? Watch this episode of the Dr. J Show to find out!

The Pornography Effect: the Problems Reach Further than You Could Imagine
Melea Stephens is a practicing marriage and family therapist and an activist leader against sexual exploitation in her home state of Alabama. She is a board member with the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and the founder of Rescue Innocence Movement, a nonprofit created to protect this generation of children from the harms of sexual exploitation through prevention, education, and legislation. After witnessing the detrimental effects of hardcore pornography in the lives of both children and adults she treated, Melea felt a call to raise awareness about the unacknowledged health and societal harms of this illegal material. Since 2012, Melea has organized several city and statewide events and public awareness campaigns. She frequently partners with anti-trafficking leaders to promote education and meet the needs of survivors of sexual exploitation. Through the Rescue Innocence Movement and with the help of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation and local leaders, she has been instrumental in the launch of the nation’s first emergency treatment program for pediatric survivors of sex trafficking at UAB Hospital. Melea often speaks publicly on topics such as the public health crisis of pornography and enhancing sexual intimacy within the context of Christian marriage. She was also a key leader in the recent passage of the Alabama Resolution to Declare Pornography a Public Health Crisis. Melea longs to see a day when the evil of sexual exploitation is fully extinguished by a majority in society who have grown intolerant of its immense harms and injustices. She believes that, through continued awareness, education, advocacy, and united activism, that day is close within our grasp.

Why do doctors support unhealthy lifestyles? The surgeon that stood up to the profession
Dr. Paul Church was a practicing urologist for more than 35 years, he was also involved with clinical research and teaching as an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. He was fired from his job, his career was destroyed, his life was upended, and his medical license was nearly revoked when he merely advocated for healthy choices, and criticized hospital superiors for promoting unhealthy behaviors. Dr. Church challenged the administration of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to be more truthful and honest about the negative health consequences inherent with high risk and unhealthy LGBTQIA+, sexual behaviors and to be more respectful of the diversity of religious and moral views regarding sodomy. He was met with increasing efforts to silence his concerns. Despite an outpouring of public support and legal representation from Liberty Counsel, he was expelled from the medical staff in December 2015. Two other hospitals where Dr. Church held appointments for years followed suit and expelled him as well. A fourth hospital revoked their offer to join the medical staff, fearing repercussions from the LGBT community. Dr. Church is a member of the Christian Medical and Dental Association and medical volunteer or leader of eleven short-term medical mission projects in Mexico and Africa. He has two married daughters and six grandchildren. He was honored with a Citizenship Award by MFI in 2015 and a similar award from the Catholic Medical Association in 2016. He retired from clinical practice November 1, 2017.
