"This is NOT my Grandmother's Methodist Church!"

It depends on how old your grandmother is. As far back as 1971 (before Roe v Wade) they were meeting in the Methodist Building in DC to build a "religious" coalition to support abortion. And donations to the Methodist church was paying for it.

Look up the history of the GBCS (General Board of Church and Society), the RCAR (Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights) and RCRC (same organization with new name Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice). The Methodist leaders spear-headed that through their GBCS (their lobbying group). Starting as far back as 50 years ago.

John Wesley, who preached heavily on living holy lives and was very much a part of the Holiness Movement, is rolling over in his grave.

To: Tell It Right

Let me put it to you this way. My Grandmother passed at age 90 years ago and took me to her church when I was a child. This crap did not go on, I remember.

Also, in the 60’s the Methodists “voted” that sexual intercourse between engaged couples was no longer sinning. (I forgot what book/chapter/verse that was in.) No longer needed to get married to have at it. Also, since adultery concerned married couples only, engaged was the way to go.

Those Methodists, real swingers those people...
