I don't think the Lord is under any obligation to remove from any of us our trials and tribulations in this life, so the fact that he does not cure people of SSA is not persuasive, at least not to me.

That being said, I also think the notion that SSA can be cured by reading the scriptures is right up there with green men on the moon. It is good to see that the Church has backed off such overly simplistic counsel and has now adopted the "let's love them and welcome them and we really don't know where it comes from" approach.
