If, like @utsdoc (who blocked us for respectfully asking questions) your first thought is to attack our anonymous nature & call us cowardly:
1) Grow up
2) Examine your own privilege and realize not everyone has what you have.
@jnshep4 @EricTheStory@dluruth3@umjeremy Dude drifting into UM twitter like an addict who swears they’ve gone clean but then you catch them huffing negative interactions like spray paint out of a bag.
“Just give me one more hit of feeling smarter/superior to others..”
Our New Year’s resolution is let our anger about the lies and hatefulness of the global MC pass through a few more layers of prayer filtering.
That said: 2023 begins with Scott Jones as a non active UMC Bishop - so things are looking up!
@Leave_UMC@TheUnfundament1 The fact that you don’t think Bishops are elected or answerable to laity really demonstrates your considerable expertise with our polity.
@nathancherolis @PriscillaBjorn @UMC_CommonSense@thegracechurch Yes - that most people prefer compliance from others while insisting on special treatment for themselves.

Integrity isn’t theoretical - if someone else has to follow a rule, you should too. Nobody gets to defend their integrity by saying others broke faith first.
#umc Anti-gay mouthpieces like Tooley looking at the apology for a non-effective, strongly homophobic “church/business” planted in a diverse & pro-inclusion neighborhood be like:
@mwright92@echrisroberts@markdtooley There are literally 40 people he could have named as his hero that we would have actually believed. To name Tooley is to expose himself as:
1) An actual shill for the IRD OR
2) An aspiring shill for the IRD OR
3) Hopelessly down the rabbit hole of misinformation
@kevindbarron@RitterChris Yes. Wow. Stunning when the process of a church is “what gives us the most value?” And misses how blessing others is a huge value.
@echrisroberts@wesleyancov Dude, we get it - you’re leaving. Summon up some restraint and turn the other cheek even if you feel attacked. Break the cycle for your own sake - you’ll feel better.
