The fake news about a small Texas church and Islam is herein debunked.
It’s so fake, I hadn’t heard about it yet
It’s the seriesness of the charge. Waco (e.g. Shootout at the Twin Peaks corral) is a crazy place and needs to provide data to prove that it is not.
The proper name of that city south of here is ZimbabWaco.
Fake or NOT, Christian churches have to be aware of Muslim “invaders” in ALL of our churches, odumbo in particular.
I'm only aware of the Branch Dividians, The Shootout, and maybe a cafeteria debacle. (Though Hasan maybe a relatively local perp)
A debunking worthy of the DPRK or Pravda.

What is the truth here?
???
Meanwhile a Waco local TV station investigated the story and found no evidence to support the colorful claims that a Waco church was potentially a tool for Islamicizing churches. “You can’t believe everything that you read,” the church’s new pastor is quoted in response. “I’ve just never heard anything like that before.” An elderly church member who says he hasn’t missed church in five years reports never hearing any sermon like what PamelaGeller.com claimed.
Bosqueville United Methodist Church as of 2015 had only 49 members and an average attendance of 33, with likely minimal financial resources, probably making it an unlikely target for refugee resettlement much less an effective tool for Islamization.
and yet the garbage continues to be posted
It is certainly true that this or that UMC local church will do this sort of thing, and has done this sort of thing.
It is also true that the “central” administrative and executive “officials” of the UMC are politically aligned with the radical Progressive left.
At the same time, Alex Jones’ Infowars and radio show is pretty wacko. Not a credible source of information.
.
I must have missed the debunking.
It does sound plausible, judging by what I have seen in SF Bay Area, and western Washington state UMC parishes.
Rather than sloughing it off, it would seem appropriate to increase one’s defenses.
The decay of the churches is Biblically supported.
.
I’m an ordained UMC elder, but I’m a conservative. I have no problem with calling out our denomination when it deserves it. But I know these little country churches of 30-40 people. If a constant attender says he’s never heard such a sermon, then I’m confident that it hasn’t happened.
.
Pam Geller has always been solidly reliable.
She constantly places herself in danger to bring us the facts.
.
See #13. An eyewitness debunking.
And Texas is one of our most conservative areas, so it’s unlikely one would find other than a conservative, rural church. They are Texans and Methodists. Bear that in mind.
I wouldn’t trust the UMC hierarchy on anything.
But I do trust the word of a member who hasn’t missed in years who says he’s never heard of such a sermon ever being preached in his church.
