If true, the Baptists are supporting a very bad policy.
Uh oh.
The SBC once again goes off the rails. Disband it and let each church go independent. I attend one, but don’t agree with church hierarchy (in any denomination). But it’s the only one we’ve found that preaches the Gospel, takes a hard stand against woke, has respectful music, etc.
The offerings we give strictly are for events and purposes of the local church — never funds that go to the “big guy” in Nashville.
I think our preacher is on the edge of taking us out of SBC.
Southern Baptist Convention is trash. Has been for decades. The only difference between today’s SBC and 80s SBC is who they pander to.
Are you Tennessee Baptists PAYING ATTENTION???
“Someone please tell me what is going on here?!?!”
Here are the reasons to prevent the manifesto from public disclosure. It contradicts a narrative you support, and the revelation of the document will undermine or destroy your preferred narrative or actions. Or, you are afraid the contents will provoke like-minded individuals to action. Whichever it is won’t be obvious until we see the contents.
Somewhere in the midst of this transperson going off the deep end....I believe she/he had a relationship going on with school officials (members of the SBC), and it’s probably more than two or three involved. So the manifesto probably mentions names and how crappy the mess had developed into.
>> Someone please tell me what is going on here?!?!
Woke southern baptists reveling in the cultural vomit of the times.
Won’t be long before they’re embracing abortion and the alphabet perversions.
Many alleged Christians Churches are going woke even to the point of wanting AI to rewrite the Bible to “Correct” misinterpretations and of course apply “equity” for the demon possessed LGBT+ folks.
My gut feeling is the main reason why this guy doesn’t want the Manifesto released is because like any big church there is always a certain amount of dirty laundry per say with in the church that the leaders of the Church or denomination do not want the public to see. It is kind of like the Amazon documentary series about the Duggar family secrets. Any big Church as big as Covenant Presbyterian Church probably has a certain amount of dirty laundry that they don’t want the world to see. If the manifesto was released, people names would probably be mentioned(if not redacted),a certain small amount of peoples lives would be destroyed, empires with in Church would be destroyed, and a certain amount of money would stop flowing, I’m being sarcastic here, but I think you get the idea. Brent Leatherwood is just looking to protect the interests of the big churches in the SBC just in case there is a similar daja vue event that happens in one of their big Shiny Happy churches within the SBC.
You have to distinguish between some and all.
Not all So Baptists are the same. There are maybe ten different main cultures within the movement.
So this ERLC is the woke wing. They love everything left.
It’s really way past time for the SBC to split up, but they all want control of the schools and seminaries, so they stay together and arm wrestle for power.
Americans have a right to see this Dung Beetle turd roller manifesto. It must be really bad considering all the crap the RATS are going through trying to bury it. Must make the Trannies and their supporters look really bad. The gun nazis are involved in these murders also.
Pretty sure Brent Leatherwood is a latent homosexual. Look at his pics. My gaydar redlines.
First the Methodists committed church suicide, now the Baptists.
The continuing infiltration of the SBC.
This is it exactly.
This man is a left leaning Baptist
They infiltrate everything
School boards are their primary targets
This person doesn’t want the heat on the homosexual community from this
No it doesn’t make sense
The manifesto is probably worse than we can imagine if they are so desperate to hide it.
The only legit excuse I could come up with would be that the dead killer had complete drawn out plans for other crazies to do the same on an ongoing regular basis. Names of the shooters...ammo suppliers..and. victims all drawn out. With time and date.
Leatherwood sounds like a real dummy. The fact that they mentioned his three kids is not pertinent to the position he is arguing for. Another propaganda piece. SBC is a dying org. Needs to split up. The liberal side will die.
Interesting that someone so high up in the SBC sends his kids to a school run by the more conservative Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Not to be confused with the more liberal PCUSA. Says a lot about the inability of the SBC to offer a biblical education to their children.
