Wouldn't that make UNITED Methodist Churches a misnomer?

Methodists are just heretics.

Sad for the 75% that are practicing blasphemy.

It’s against scripture, and it shrinks membership. There is no upside.

Sounds like 25% made the right choice. Which means 75% made the wrong choice. Humans were gifted free will but are not exempt from the fruits of choosing poorly ... as Judgement Day approaches.

Why only 25%?

Her pastor certified Hillary Clinton as “a good Methodist” back in the day. I wonder what side of the schism she’s on? (Well, not really.)

“With the latest exodus, the faithful are by and large all gone, with the remaining churches populated by goatlings with Christian ideations that can’t agree on how badly they hate the bible or on the best way to molest it into affirming the doctrine of demons.”

Nominating this paragraph as the best summary of the whole stinking mess that the UMC.

While the main reason for splitting is the long-fought war within the UMC over homosexuality and the UMC’s acceptance of it, it’s of note that the conservatives within the UMC aren’t particularly conservative either. For years the UMC has supported a woman’s right to choose abortion as an option to be considered. In fact, for over 40 years, their Book of Resolutions affirmed the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.

What a gross misrepresentation of what conservative Methodists believe! These things were ALL - ALL driven by the far-left progressives who infiltrated the upper levels of UMC hierarchy over the space of 40 years. My church disaffiliated and you can’t find ANY of those things supported by lay or clergy.

For shame. It should have been 90%.

Except, of course, that the UMC’s own Deep State manipulated the bishops, the convention resolutions, who got to speak at the conventions, the harassment of conservative pastors. and the appointment of leftist pastors to vulnerable congregations—then sent the conservative congregations a huge bill for what it would cost them to leave the apostate church. When it should certainly have been the ellgeebeeteebies’ call to leave the faithful alone and go start their own denomination, for which the faithful would have contributed funds.

As it is, the buildings their forefathers built and maintained are being held for ransom by the heretics.
