I resigned my family’s 10 year old membership from our Methodist Church here in Texas last week after discussing whether or not the Bible is the literal word of God. Uur new pastor hesitated and then hem-hawed around finally saying it was open to interpretation in some cases.
The UM church is getting more and more liberal. Before hubby and I left the UMC, there was a ‘confessing’ movement to try to bring the church back to biblical beliefs. Doesn’t seem to have gained much ground.
Take away their tax exempt status.

Aren’t they a little “late to the party” with that kinda talk?
Aren’t Palestinians destroying each other’s homes now?
RESOLUTION TO THE CONFERENCE (CC)
We move that the Baltimore Washington Conference petition the General Conference to delete from Paragraph 161 (G) of the Discipline the following sentence:
“The United Methodist Church does not condone the practice of homosexuality and consider[s] this practice incompatible with Christian teaching.”
The adopted text of such a petition would be as follows:
Petition to General Conference: Homosexuality Not Incompatible with Christian Teaching
Seriously, to my Methodist fellow freepers, don't sweat it.
Jews have been targeted ny Pros and survived.
Don't concern yourselves.
But,...if you want to do something cool.In spite of your church’s actions, schedule a two week tour of Israel. Stay at a decent hotel, take the tour and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.
Imagine. Sitting where Jesus may have sat, and enjoying the view of the things Jesus may have looked at.
It is very cool. If you are Jewish, it is as cool. Step where your forefathers stepped 5 or 6 thousand years ago. How’s THAT for continuity.
Real Jews dont sweat Methodists or the World Council of Churches. Or the National of Churches. or any individual anti JOOOOOOOOOOOISH group.
I’ve been a FR reader for a long time, but only put up a few posts here and there. Feel free to help me get this around, You experienced Freepers.
Personally, I’m not real into major debate, but want to let these folks know how we feel about this issue.
Staying quiet won’t help educate the mass of people that really don’t have a clue of what is going on over there.
You know, those Palestinians who have elected Hamas to lead them?
Preamble of Hamas: Israel will exist and only exist until Islam obliterates it.
Who are we to say that Israel cannot build a wall to protect themselves from having these nomads come into their country, and blow themselves up at their child’s birthday party?
Help getting this where it needs to go, would be very much appreciated.
