Um, to my knowledge, these organizations don’t receive federal funding. https://t.co/DPiegUrMQk

@UMC_CommonSense I’ve seen a few UMC people post about it, but nothing mean … just curiosities. I think most of the news for me was overshadowed by what the TX conferences did.

@RepJackKimble I don’t like t/x. I opened it by accident and saw this. I hit follow.

@UMC_CommonSense I felt bad for offering $40K and insurance reimbursement for a first time youth director, even in AR.

@Charlie_Harper @UMC_CommonSense One gets you stoned, the other just rebuked. Until you remarry that’s when the other gets you stoned. Too. Sorta.

@riffle_ron @Onfire7 @kevinmyoung So, two thousand years ago Paul makes up a word “man-bed” and we struggle to fully understand its meaning until about 100 years ago when we decide it must mean homosexual despite cultural context. Mmmmkay.

@UMC_CommonSense Unfortunately, they never completed the court mandated requirements. Yet, when they went on hospice there was a reconciliation and afterwards we were able to celebrate their life.
I am grateful for the relationship we built.

[Daniel Thueson @danielthueson]

@UMC_CommonSense We had someone like that. The church actually had a restraining order on them. I found a way to offer pastoral care and guide them toward reconciliation.

[Daniel Thueson @danielthueson]

@UMC_CommonSense We keep it to hymns in the hymnal and if we talk about our nation or freedom, we always relate to our unity and true freedom in Christ.

@clhubes If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

[Daniel Thueson @danielthueson]

@clhubes “Which father among you would give a snake to your child if the child asked for a fish? If a child asked for an egg, what father would give the child a scorpion?

[Daniel Thueson @danielthueson]

@umjeremy The irony. We had several clergy leave who had affairs and somehow maintained or regained their credentials.

@AnomalyBlessed @kevinmyoung @The11Hour_1776 I’ll say it for him. Reading comprehension also matters. There’s a difference between Orthodox and orthodox.

[Daniel Thueson @danielthueson]

@meadjug @kevinmyoung This is debatable. That’s like saying the temples of Rome were Christian places of worship following Rome becoming a Christian state.
Calling oneself a Christian no more makes one a follower of Christ than sleeping in a garage makes one a car. You will know them by their fruit.

@Trailor73 @UMC_CommonSense The only thing I hate are the lies and rhetoric spread attempting to harm the UMC. Most of your comment is full of obvious spite. I did not celebrate your departure. I lamented it. Yet, these types of conversations show me my tears are a waste.

[Daniel Thueson @danielthueson]

@Trailor73 @UMC_CommonSense Oh come on. No one left quietly or without fear mongering. I had people leave my church threatening we were all going to hell if we didn’t leave - thanks to the misinformation put out by the groups listed.

[Daniel Thueson @danielthueson]

@Trailor73 @UMC_CommonSense It’s more like GMC/WCA/GN burning the house down because there was a rat in the back room.
