The person in the article, I believe, was chosen because of her particular remedy for her individual chosen lifestyle quandry.
A lot of televised preachers shift to “the issue of money”. As George Carlin said, ‘the god that created, scheduled, brought this whole world together, cannot handle money! Never enough and always asking for more.’
A lot of churches have taken up this social justice quagmire (my word), and has crested political schisms, of any definition. The person in the article could be a “schism refugee”, ( gosh, where the heck do I go now?)
So, they found ‘a tucked away foxhole’ on the schism battlefield, and created a sense of spirituality to deal with the world.
Now I know some of y’all are gonna throw ‘not of the world’ stuff. And some of y’all ain’t exactly liking their personal choice of life, neither.
I expect both reactions to be poured out from your old w(h)ine pouches.
So, I ask you:
“Which would YOU do? Ignore this person, since they represent a lot of what y’all don’t like? Do the usual ‘come to my church’? Have a sit down over coffee, learn about this person, maybe let them learn a little about you, and agree, possibly, to another cup at another time, to exploree a little more?” (I think that might be under the category of, ‘come, let us reason, together.)
(and, by the definition provided in the article, you are dealing with a witch.)
My temple now has a rabbi who plays guitar during sabbath services. It is a conservative temple.
That’s why the country is going to $h*t
