They WANT the membership to fall. They want to chase away Christians. Then a small band of homosexuals at the top will own all the church property and investments. They will pay themselves huge salaries and play dressup in all the robes.
Can’t people see this? It’s deliberate provocation -— causing the real Christians to leave and go hold services in some storefront in a strip mall when a judge decides that the property all belongs to the ‘leadership’ which will be liberal, leftist and homosexual, just as in the Episcopal church.
And the Presbyterian church has a great many truly beautiful churches. They’ll own it all.
So they send a homosexual priest and his partner and their unfortunate children to deliberately provoke and chase away a southern congregation.
It’s a two-fer. They get to portray themselves as victims of the evil redneck homophobes and eventually they will own all the property. They’ll make headlines, always a plus for narcissists.
I see this is starting to happen in the church I attend -— Methodist. I wish people would wake up.
But then the money eventually runs out...
people can, but most of us just slink away and say 'ok, you can have it', instead of fighting for our churches.
