"PCUSA lurched way, way, WAY out to the left. Now, they're nothing but moonbats, and they're hemorhagging members."

Whats sad is the PCUSA ministers cannot leave without losing their retirement. I know a couple that continue to fight to bring some sanity but they are losing the battle.

One of my dearest friends is a UMC minister. He's rock solid in reformed theology - he was a student of R.C. Sproul's. He's stuck in the same position - just a few years to go to retirement. He can't afford to leave the UMC, although I keep trying to persuade him to do so.

G-d bless you!

I have been utterly perplexed and depressed about the passive attitude of the otherwise decent-seeming minister at the local Presby church. This explains EVERYTHING.

It's about the Benjamins, not about Christ.

They ought to figure out a way to sue for a settlement on their retirement. They deserve to be able to collect on whatever they have paid in or earned so far. Believe me, I know it would not be hard with no guarantee of eventual success, but it ought to be at least possible. Perhaps under pressure, the denomination would agree to settle.

That same situation may face the faithful clergy in my own denomination before too many years pass. A denomination owes its clergy for the years they have served. There should be legal recourse to keep them from being cheated out of their retirement.
