xzins — is there any way we can have some freeper support to prevent the gays from devastating the UMC? There must be some way to rally support against this “gay marriage” abomination.

First, they would have to disassociate themselves with the extremely liberal/socialistic National Council of Churches and they aren't going to do it. They are no longer about saving souls, they are about promoting a liberal, political agenda.

Methodism has been a lost cause since the 70’s when Bishops cursed the Holy Spirit in a rampage to rid every church in their conferences of charismatic influence. Wesley’s authoritarian character, based as it was on his deep devotion to the work of the Holy Spirit, has been perverted and made demonic. Methodism remains little more than a cult led by elitist thugs and their useful idiots who deny the authority of God.

Dear Cronos, our only rules making body does not meet until next year. It is comprised of delegates selected world-wide in proportion to the size of a region’s membership. Thus, the regions that want lgbt are smaller in mewmbership than those that do not want it. Africa, for example, is opposed to lgbt and comprises nearly a third of our membership. The south and south central and texas is much larger than the northeastand north central in membership, and they are mostly opposed to lgbt. I expect our standards to hold.
Nonetheless, pray that God would grant us victory and that your Church would speak out public support for those Christian Communities that stand fast in our historic Christian faith.
