Call whatever you like. Not my problem.
But until you rationally disprove my statements with something other than emotion, I’ll stay right where I am.
Only GOD can disprove your statements.
I had about twelve paragraphs written before I self-redacted and just arrowed down to a few clear truths:
1.In the USA, we all have freedom of religion enshrined as one of the primary points in all of our other laws.
2.No religion/church is forced to officially accept/acknowledge an individuals self-avowed claim to “membership status”, nor are they required to dispute false claims.
No such “right” to fraudulently claim membership exists under our laws. It is strictly a private matter. A civil claim can be made by either party, if one or the other side abuses the others, resulting in measurable damages.
3.Nothing in our laws preclude any church from denouncing fictitious claims of membership, or from announcing the severing of membership, publically, of former members, if they so choose.
