I've always thought the EUB and Methodist merge seemed odd too. There were some EUB churches which didn't go along with the merge, but I don't think there were many who stayed out.
What makes my parents' reunions with their old missionary friends is that they are now Southern Baptist and, if anything, more conservative than ever, while many of their friends went along with the Methodist merge and are as liberal as ever. When one of them found out my parents were Southern Baptist, he said something very offensive, as if they were now communing with the devil himself.

This is hilarious! Yesterday CNN actually posted on their website prepared obituaries for people who are still very much alive including Dick Cheney, Nelson Mandela, and Ronald Reagan.
CNN makes a deadly mistake
