Hundreds of members at Sessions's church write formal complaint over immigration policy
The Hill ^ | 06/19/18 | Brooke Seipe

Posted on 06/19/2018 9:06:46 AM PDT by detective

More than 600 members of the United Methodist Church signed on to a letter Monday condemning Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant parents and children at the U.S. border.

In the letter, the group of churchgoers, including clergy and church leadership, accuse Sessions of child abuse, immorality, racial discrimination and dissemination of doctrines contrary to the standards of the doctrine of the United Methodist Church.

They note in the letter that Sessions is a member of Ashland Place United Methodist Church, in Mobile, Ala.

The “Hill”, the Media, the Democrats are desperate and in full panic mode. And...these idiot Democrats want to appoint ex-POTUS, Obama as their number one campaign spokesman. They must be smoking major amounts of reefer. This, like all their other ploys will not work.

Trump or Ted Cruz will back the Senate Democrats into a corner and the ten or twelve Senate Democrats that are in serious trouble to get re-elected will give Trumpie whatever he wants...Trump wins again. Joe Manchin is now bowing before Trump in full hug & kiss mode!!! Other Democrat scum & vermin will do exactly the same. This Democrat ploy is a loser from the starting gate...stay tuned.

Did these church members write another letter protesting forced separation of a third trimester fetus from it’s mother? Reason I bring up third trimester is because most children born prematurely during the 3rd trimester can survive. Which makes those abortions premeditated murder.

If I was Sessions, the tense would be pat tense. Those who will not stand with me are not my brothers.

The UMC think they've got it all. Believe me, they don't.

Do they express the same outrage when an adult is arrested with a child and the child is separated?

What about the family separations with all the daily murders in Chicago?

UMC is not only a member of WCC, but a founder. WCC churches are apostate. Flee from their false teachings!

Apostacy: the abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief.

They are not “migrants” they are ILLEGAL. We have laws.. nevermind the past Presidents let run rampant and disregard the laws... which makes this so difficult... try to do something right and all hell comes down.

To ignore our laws and to let them ignore our laws... just encourages more and more to come.

I think, under the circumstances, with the invasion which the left and the weak encourage... I think it would be proper to send them back at the border... no taking in the children... no letting any adults come across... bypass that stipulation and send them back.. count it humanitarian .. count it “over the barrel” but don’t let them come across to have to put them up... it’s not appreciated and it’s being taken advantage of... so just send them back as fast as they appear.

I figure obama is watching every bit of news and leaks he can get his hands on .. and is enjoying all this kind of thing coming at Trump.

On these Christians... a lot of Christians I know, are weak because they think the Word tells them to be... it’s a pit and it’s not the thing to be... be strong, be the strength this world needs! Don’t crumble and give in to the wrong things.. the wrong side.

They just had a national conference where they discussed “social justice”.

It was announced a couple of weeks ago to audible gasps in the choir.

Children of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat . . . with Hillary one of their favorite members. Why didn’t they write a letter to her about her criminal actions?

Jeff Sessions is the weak link in the Trump administration. He likely gets 4-5 hours of awake a day, and he doesn’t have the smell of blood like we need our Van Helsing to have been born with. If we are to drive a stake through the heart of Dracula (libtards), we need a WARRIOR, not someone to attempt to scientifically diagnose and run tests. It takes a special person to carve out those stakes, and coldly plunge them into the hearts of Americas vampires. He just is not that man

A lot of these churches get funding from the government for helping these immigrants get social services and navigate the system.

Your 1 is wrong. If just processing’s ppl for deportation, you can hold the family administratively, not in jail. See a description of that here - https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/708840002

This is happening bc Trump is electing to prosecute routine border crossers. It’s deliberately inhumane to act as a deterrent. We should be explaining why we are doing something inhumane and why it is necessary, not pretending that this isn’t inhumane or that Trump has no choices. Those options just play into the media narratives.

The Methodist church is nothing more than a communist toehold in America. They speak with NO moral authority.

Hey Jeff, I dropped my UMC membership after a pandering “Rev” send an email that failed to recognize freedom of assembly and speech after the permitted assembly in Charlottesville.

I joined another denomination that is freedom loving, America loving, patriotic

Tell the Methodist church to take its left wing pandering to the atheistic liberals. And let’s see who funds their buildings and payroll

Not a good sign that Sessions belongs to this church.
