‘Mrs. Greene's statement about leaving the Church is as enlightening as it is saddening,’ commented Michael Hichborn, president of the Lepanto Institute.
(LifeSiteNews) – Following criticism of comments she made about the U.S. Catholic bishops, conservative firebrand U.S. Rep.

“With great sorrow, and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, I stopped attending Catholic Mass when I became a mother, because I realized that I could not trust the Church’s leadership to protect my children from pedophiles, and that they harbored monsters even in their own ranks,” the now-evangelical said in a lengthy statement.
The Georgia Republican was responding to the Catholic League’s Bill Donahue, who slammed her for suggesting in an interview with Church Militant’s Michael Voris that “Satan is controlling the Church.”
“The Church is not doing its job. And it’s not adhering to the teachings of Christ,” she added.
“It’s the Church leadership I was referring to when I invoked the Devil,” Greene clarified on Twitter. “Just so we’re clear, bishops, when I said ‘controlled by Satan,’ I wasn’t talking about the Catholic Church. I was talking about you.”
“The Catholic Church must throw out these monsters instead of lecturing the people its own bishops have driven away,” she continued, blasting the U.S. Catholic bishops as “some of the worst in the world” and “scheming bureaucrats in miters.” It was the “bishops’ wickedness” that drove her out of the Church, Greene said, and her own refusal to “submit the spiritual and physical livelihood of my children to these monsters.”

P.S. It’s also ludicrous to be in it as a 4th-generationer and claim that you haven’t read the “works” of your prophetess. That is saying that you will believe anything anyone tells you without investigation, even with your very soul and eternity on the line, and that of your family.
Cult and Occult,
Sitting on a fence...
it’s WAY older than that!
Snore away, my FRiend, snore in peace.
While dreaming of creatures with fleece.
You’d better eat lamb,
Not that nasty ol’ ham;
So someday all your labors you’ll cease.

“A diet chiefly or wholly vegetable, is evidently best adapted to allay passionate excitement. Flesh meat diet is more stimulating than vegetable. Consequently it is plain that all those who suffer from too high venereal excitement, should abandon it (meat) ... When children shall be taught correct habits of diet, much, very much, Will be done toward the removal of secret vice and other species of unchastity from society. (p. 9) Mince pies, cakes, preserves, and highly seasoned meats, with gravies, create a feverish condition in the system, and inflame the animal passions. . . In order to strengthen in [children] the moral perceptions, . . . we must regulate the manner of our living, dispense with animal foods, and use grains, vegetables and fruits, as articles of diet.

“Sip no more the beverage of China; no more the drinks of java; what shall you drink at your meals? ... I say, nothing is best; yet cocoa, chocolate, or warm water seasoned, or bread coffee, rice coffee . . . will be good substitutes as they do not inflame.”
Poor Jesus didn’t know all this as He ate meat. I’m almost certain that He would have taken in cakes also.
Whom to believe???
And don’t dare touch my coffee!
Clan membership is a MUCH stronger bond than mere association with others of like beliefs.

Is that Patsy Cline’s sister or code for “politically correct?” :-)

Suffer?
TOO high??
Just who sets these limits???
I absolutely agree with your statement, Elsie. As we all have our faith and love for God Almighty making us brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, clans have shared beliefs regarding physical things such as feather pillows and raspberry preserves, which they believe make them better people than us wee peons.
Wait just a ding-dang minute here!
Good goobledy goo-goo, Elsie!!!
Funny, ain’t it? It’s SDA, my brother.
