Rev. Mel White on Homosexuality
Rev. Mel White the founder of soul force, a best-selling author, a pastor, seminary professor, and ghost writer to religious leaders including Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell. (http://www.melwhite.org/) Rev. Mel White uses personal testimony in order to get his point across and convince Christians that homosexuals should embrace who they are.
When Mel says, "Accept who you are, accept it as a gift from God" he is using many nonverbals to influence. His tone and pitch of voice changes as well as his eyes and hand gestures.
This is also an example of expert testimony because he has experienced it first hand.
Finally, this is an example of organization by stock issues. He says there's a need for a change, and the plan to solve that need is, "tell your children early in life that if your gay embrace it and accept it as a gift from God". Then that plan meets the need or removes the problems (p. 272).

Hello,
I just stumbled upon your blog and I noticed you haven't updated it in a while. I'm incredibly interested in taking over and continuing your message.
This is exactly the type of blog I would like to begin writing, and it would be great to continue on with what you began. Perhaps you would even continue to contribute whenever you'd like?
If you're interested, please e-mail me at godssoldier1225@gmail.com or even just to discuss.
Thank you,
