[Khepera]

the fact that "she" is a minister seems leftist to me and an afront to Timothy.

[BillF]

the fact that "she" [RevNan] is a minister seems leftist to me and an afront to Timothy.

Outside my area. I'll let her respond IF she cares to.

[Khepera]

Read the passages in the bible that pertain to women in the church. I'm sure RevNAN would have some BS as to why it is Ok for her to be a pastor.

Communique From The Army For The Total Liberation of FreeRepublic

(Movimento Libertad Frei Res Publica – MLFRP)

You commies need a good reaming. and I am sure Jim will give you one.

Begone ye demons of hell

To: libertard_frei_res_publica

See I told you that he would and with Gods help too I bet! hahaha

[Tree of Liberty]

I ask this as a sincere question: Why do you stay in the Methodist denomination when there are other, larger denominations that are not opposed to our God-endowed liberty? Voting with your feet, as it were.

[JCG]

Aren't they pro-homosexuals also?

I'd say so...

United Methodist General Board of Church and Society Decries
Supreme Court Decision Allowing Discrimination by Boy Scouts of
                                    America

The United Methodist Church, the largest single supporter of the Boy Scouts of America, strongly condemns discrimination based on sexual orientation. While the General Board of Church and Society would like to enthusiastically affirm and encourage this continuing partnership of the church and scouting, we cannot due to the Boy Scouts of America’s discrimination against gays.

Poor Methodists.  So PC, yet, so wrong.

I would expect nothing different from the methodists

[ZULU]

I am seriously reflecting on that decision now. I think I am out of place among these people.

[Rebforever]

Ditto. This was very disturbing to me also. I am an active UMC member and (I thought) informed.

[Tree of Liberty]

I understand. I'm sure He'll direct you to the right decision.

[Revelation 911]

You'd be surprised to know you have an orthodox little brother in free methodism - check it out Here - It doesnt say anything about gun ownership - but we are to the right of UMC on most everything.

There is also a nice article on ordaining women - some here might choke at the concept, particularly as it relates to firearms ownership - but I dont hear my wife the Pastor complaining about the venison I brought home

[Cold Heat]

Terminating these people from employment in the church would be harder than getting rid of a worthless union member. It would be best to achieve change through membership withdrawl.

[Cold Heat]

Not true!

[Techster]

Please note in reply 28 that the statement is from the General Board of Church and Society. Most of the "liberal" crap you hear about is from this one group that is most likely a Communist front. They were also the ones supporting Castro in the Elian case. Unfortunately, you may not be aware of the rank and file position or even the General Conference which has stated the homosexual practice is NOT consistent with a Christian lifestyle. There are many more Methodist gun owners than gun control freeks.

[Revelation 911]

sorry for the late post - but I thought this fit well -

apparently the catholics dont have a problem with it ;)
