“come out from among them and be ye separate saith the lord and TOUCH NOT the unclean thing... “

How do you intend on coming out when the others want to butcher you if you don’t submit?

So you think “turning the other cheek” is a swell strategy thaf will send muslims scurrying for cover?

they only get ONE SHOT at the cheek... after that you have my permission to go old testament on them... root and branch.

muslims are not the primary problem.
Queerdom and abortion...

fix that and the muslims will fall in line.

40 million babies and 2-3 million deviants is WAY past turning the cheek ONCE...

people say watch it that is a slippery slope... but we are WAY past the slippery slope and the free fall off the cliff.

Well, sadly, in this modern age, “Christians” seem to have been blessed with an inexhaustible supply of other cheeks. Otherwise they would have gone old testament long, long ago - like say, 50 years ago.

And I see no sign of them running out of cheeks.

Do you?

Thank godness for its lay employees and pastors in its pension system that it is a sound, clear money-purchae (defined contribution) system, not a defined benefit system and NOT one where new pensioners are dependent on anything but THEIR work-life pension contributions, the investment earnings of those contributions and the actuarially sound limits of how much can be paid out from them, monthly, until they are deceased. That system was founded long before the Liberals took over the denomination and its letters of incorporation and bylaws do not allow it to be changed.

You are making assumptions as usual. And, as usual, you are wrong

On paper I’m a UCC church member. Last fall hey became ONA and talked bout how it wold attract new members. So far 0 new members and probably 12-8 members died. Weekly attendance has been stagnant or lower.

Not to worry, they recently admitted at they rater they are pulling cash form the endowment, they have 6-8 years before they run out of money. As of now the only reason the lights are on is said endowment.
