Yes, indeed. I would note that while many will paint the members who are facing leaving as being materialistic, I have yet to see the liberals and homosexuals who joined as having that failing in spades.
How come these people aren't pressuring poor denominations? Why aren't they infiltrating denominations which control their property as individual congregations?
I think we all know the answer. The liberals and gays want the real estate and the endowments. They don't want that little old Assembly of God storefront church who rents space from a landlord.

Excellent point highlighting once more the double standards which liberals use to get their way.
