"It’s been really baffling to me the level of explicit transphobia I’ve experienced in my journey as bishop," he said. "It’s painful."

Luther: Go and sin boldly that your faith in God’s mercy shall increase!

Reality: Sin badly enough, and you can no longer acknowledge your wickedness is sinful. And even if you did, you’ve developed a habit you can’t kick.

I hope that person bankrupts that evil organization. I know its ELCA without even looking into it.

I suggest the bishop, and I use that term very loosely, learn the word ‘abomination’.

Surprise! It was a scam all along!

Ok...gonna go sue my bank for not recognizing that I’m a trans-billionaire. They are transphbically insisting on enforcing old out dated accounting practices which only credit me with a very small balance when I identify as having a gigantic balance.

The ELCA stopped being Lutheran years ago.

Megan Rohrer said he was defamed,

The person is transgender. Has a female name. But the reporter uses a male pronoun.

I have no idea what this person was born as, or what s/he/it currently identifies as.

Okay, here is the person in question. Appears to have been born a female, probably a lesbian, now identifies as male, but kept her female name.

Fired for being a racist. Welcome to the identity Olympics! May the best “whatever” win — a court settlement. Or something.

Hiring a tranny is probably the quickest way to destroy your company.

Freeper Charles Hendrickson did a parody of the Village People’s YMCA called ELCA.

Mrs. Slim’s family is Missouri Synod.

No pity for either party.

The sinful person or the weak, sinful church leadership who allowed this particular sin to slither in it’s doors.

It's painful to me to hear from this mentally ill person and his enablers.

You know, if we threw most of the “judges” and “lawyers” out of America on their asses, there would be fewer “lawsuits” and a hell of a lot less greed.

*SIGH*

I’ve told you of my struggles to find a Church Home that aligns with my values.

My crazy Mother and her ‘Anything Goes’ Methodist Church makes me insane! She’s got her whole funeral planned there. I, ‘get it’ but it is going to be one helluvalong weekend dealing with that when the time comes. Ugh!

My ‘home’ church (from birth through young adulthood) has gone all ‘woke’ and ‘dope,’ too. :(

Help Me, Jesus! ;)
