Oh, it’s happening sweetheart. Under the church’s Book of Discipline it would never happen because apparently the rest of the world is against homosexuality in general. Not sure why they feel that way. Oh wait, this is a religion based on the Bible!

What is being presented as a “path forward” is basically a don’t ask don’t tell where this new rule will only be applied to UMC in the United States. So basically this is splitting the church.

A committee of 32 lay members, clergy and church leaders came up with originally 2 plans. The don’t ask don’t tell approach where each church can decide whether it wants gays married or not. However, this plan doesn’t allow for a vote by the congregation because votes are divisive. 18 members of the committee VOTED in favor of this. The second option was make every church in the US flaming faccot marrying dens. Then a couple of days before the committee wrapped up its work, one member pushed forward a third option of leaving the issue alone and keeping the rules we already have in order. No gays. That option got very little support but is on the ballot for this conference as well.

I’m not sure how most churches will survive once this goes into effect. I’m a top ten donor in our church and I will go back to being a Lutheran. Many others will leave too. They won’t get new members because there are already gays that are members and are pushing this.

Church suicide.
