I’m going to start identifying as a Boeing AH64 Apache attack helicopter. My preferred pronouns will be whir, whimsy and whee.

We are moving soon.... After being a lifelong methodist, it is time to find a new Church home.

Lutheran Missouri Synod perhaps, or Wesleyan....

Kind of an “Its Pat” sort of thing going on?

If it is non-binary, why does it say “I” and not “we”?

Selective non-binaryism.

If I identify as a Deacon, can I celebrate Communion and baptize people?

Isn’t that the cutest thang? A non-binary trans deacon.
The Methodists must be proud. Hillary, especially so.

Doesn’t Austinite change into Pearlite? Or is it Martensite? I could never remember which way it goes.

Liberals are creating all these slippery slope examples.
You legalize sodomy, and in less than a decade, same sex marriage is legal and many states make it illegal to criticize it or take a child to therapy to rectify same sex attraction even if molested.
And they’ve already gone in four years from “let’s reduce transgenderism in severity as a mental illness” to “the only legal treatment is tons of drugs and surgery, even for children”.

This means she’s going to use her position of power to sexually abuse people, warp their minds and preach homosexuality, not religion. It’s pretty standard for her type.

I am so glad that I left the UMC over 40 years ago. I am embarrassed that my parents dragged me into the UMC 10 years before that.

Wasn't there a Methodist from TX named Tom Landry (yes, that one)? He lived to see the UMC drift hard left. Is he wincing in his grave (I pray).
