The “Director of Civil and Human Rights” for the United Methodist Church, Bill Mefford, posted a picture to Twitter yesterday mocking the pro-life marchers. Mefford, who works for the church’s lobby arm, the General Board of Church and Society, ridiculed the marchers by posting a picture of himself standing before them with a sign saying “I march for sandwiches.”

Here’s a thought. A great proportion of the pro-life marchers are young people. They are volunteers, unpaid and untrained. Mefford, on the other hand, is a grown man, one whose actual job is to represent Christians in the public square. How is it, then, that if we compare Mefford and the young marchers, the adolescents are the ones who come out looking like adults?

A man mocking those who want to save unborn human lives.
How mature.
He is no Christian.
The Wesley brothers are grieved in the heavenlies.

Another leftist Saul Alinsky fan:
#5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
Saves you having to actually make the intellectual effort to argue a point. Also helpful when you are wrong.
He needs more march and less sandwiches.
A church “leader”? Obviously a Satanic church, when it comes down to it.
Do the United Methodists realize they have someone on their payroll who mocks sincere Christians who volunteer to march to protect the lives of innocent unborn children?
“The floor of hell is paved with the sculls of bishops.”
It’s potentially more damning when combined with his twitter post: “I was inspired by the march for life to March [sic] for what I believe in” admitting his mercenary motivations publicly, perhaps extending to why he keeps his job despite clearly not believing in it. Methodists, clean up your yard.
Thank God I am no longer a Methodist, and will never be one again as long as it is run by demonic fools.
How awful. What a thing to do, say, or think. Poor babies.
I urge everyone who is concerned, to email Mr. Mefford and urge him to resign. bmefford@umc-gbcs.org
I’d be bothered about this if I thought the United Methodists were a Christian faith.
United Methodists. . . your tithes and offerings are supporting this maniac. We had an area country church that got wise to what much of their tithes and offerings were going toward after sending their required amount to UMC “headquarters”. . .had to actually “buy back their own church” to sever ties with the United Methodist Church. Most of the congregation didn’t realize they didn’t “own their own church”. The powers that be of the UMC organization said they would rather see it turned into a “coon hunters’” barn than another church. The members didn’t have the funds to keep it afloat and they joined other area churches.
Over in Kentucky, somewhere around Morehead I believe there is a Methodist college. I am told the preachers who graduate from there can’t get a job at Methodists churches because they are so conservative and so in line to the original Methodist teachings.
This is what I’ve been told anyway.
My roots are Methodist, but the family was Lutheran when they migrated in 1749. When my direct ancestor came to the Georgia coast in 1798 Lutheran churches were scarce there.
My great grandfather's name is highlighted.
He rode the circuit on horseback as well as his service in Brunswick, all over S.E. Georgia and N.E. Florida. A little church he preached in here in St. Augustine is long gone, but the parsonage was only torn down recently.
They “united” with the national council of churches and the world council of churches, and the communists took over.
I only left 35 years ago. Never doubted that decision.
