No contradiction.
So because the young men don’t go to church at all, the attendance at liberal churches has fallen.
Um, okay, got it. :::Rolls eyes:::
Have a nice day.

Really. Not only are you Godless. You have no imagination. You need to join a PCUSA church. You’re exactly their type.
Lets try this again. 16 year old boys have cheese meters (ie they’re sensitive to lies & disinformation—especially from their fathers) that are many orders of magnitude more sensitive than those of 50 year old men. These PCUSA teenagers go to church, once or twice and see there is no one there but empty suits. They don’t return. They are never counted on the membership rolls. The young women being women stay long enough to be counted. Between 25-35 they discover there is no one there in the church for them. And they leave. So their departure is counted as a loss in the membership rolls.
That would be the most reasonable explanation that 35,000 out of 48,000 people who left the PCUSA in 2005 were single women.
They’re not Shakers after all.
LOL You really ought to try exercising 'right judgment' as instructed in John 7:24. And I'm sure you know that bearing false witness is a sin.
I forgive you though. But you might want to ask God for forgiveness next time you say your prayers.
Have a nice day.
I also noticed not one Greek Orthodox leader signed this joke.
(for those in rio linda, in 1821 the Greeks started their war of liberation from the slavery of the ottman empire. )

So you already are PCUSA. Well nobody every said the PCUSA wasn’t penny wise. They do well by the old women.
God bless you. I pray that God will take away that heart of stone you have and give you a heart like Jesus’.

You’re right of course. It is likely the case that the PCUSA is headed the way of the Episcopalians. Probably the best you can do is arrange your affairs in such a way that your heirs are amicable in the disposal of your assets. I pray that your descendants come into a right relationship with God and that you will have company in your waning days.

By this I mean that your heirs have a better chance of honoring God with your assets than does the PCUSA. If you have nothing but disgust for your heirs than understand the true state of affairs for the PCUSA is much worse.
Um, okay.
I’m sorry for being so hard on you.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The U.S. Episcopal Church faces major tumult this week when an entire California diocese with more than 9,000 members decides whether to secede in an unprecedented protest over gay issues. The Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin, based in Fresno and consisting of nearly 50 churches in 14 counties, would be the first diocese to bolt from the U.S. branch of the 77-million-member global Anglican Communion if Saturday’s final vote passes. The U.S. church and Anglicanism generally have been in upheaval since 2003 when the Episcopal Church consecrated Gene Robinson of New Hampshire as the first bishop known..
