No wonder our society is so sick.

Either boot them out or dissolve the church.

Glad I left the Methodist Church 25 years ago. I saw the writing on the wall back then, as the Bible continues to be less and less a part of Church teachings in all the major churchs.

Time to end the UMC.

By leading so many into heresy they have forfeited the right to exist as a Christian church.

I left my small Lutheran church as soon as they put the rainbow flag up.

The Methodist church has been far left liberal for decades.

A friend of mine is a UMC pastor. He says the pro-homo elements are pushing very hard for the change. The African bishops and delegates, who oppose the change and stand a chance of stopping it, are publicly-dismissed in terms that are paternalistic if not racist. Oh, the irony!

I had a GREAT weekend once with female Methodist preacher who was definitely hetero. She was single and so was I. And I’m not judging.

In the Progressive heirarchy, the Gay Card trumps all. Then, in order, comes the:

Islamaphobia Card
Race Card
Woman Card

The Gay Card trumps all because it is their perfect storm: money, destruction of family, sexual deviance, counter-manliness, counter-feminine, and prideful.

UMC clergy is full of gays, including a lot of pastor-pastor marriages where the woman is quite butch and the man is quite feminine.
