I do not believe that they are mistaken...they deliberately use these words as doublespeak code for condonation of left-lib approved lifestyles and condonation of left-lib approved language.<br /><br />Lifestyles, attitudes, or language not approved by the liberal left are not tolerated and/or are promptly squelched.<br /><br />(2) The "mainline" protestant churches have become colonies of the wider Church of Liberalism, joining public schools as vehicles to transmit liberal theology and worship the God-State.Elusive Wapitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825547465295622621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-66865618934736793962009-11-13T14:39:07.756-05:002009-11-13T14:39:07.756-05:00"Your best bet is to add me to your RSS reade..."Your best bet is to add me to your RSS reader (how does this work?) or google reader (which loads all the blogs you "follow" on blogger)."<br /><br />Dude, Google Reader IS an RSS reader - the only one out there that's worth using.Ferdinand Bardamuhttp://fbardamu.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-24040277005547599132009-11-13T13:44:59.729-05:002009-11-13T13:44:59.729-05:00I hardly see the actions of this church as being &...I hardly see the actions of this church as being "authoritarian" in any meaningful sense. Disagreeing with someone is not excommunicating them or banning them from the church. Especially when, in cases like this, she chose the church in part because of its abortion platform.<br /><br />Separately, Episcopal churches tend to vary pretty wildly. There are two Episcopal churches in "Gemini Falls", where we hope to relocate. One brags on their website about having a black lesbian outreach director and some work with Amnesty International. So I looked at the church just out of town and it had none of that (but they lacked a full-time pastor). Meanwhile, the urban church in "Colosse" had a pastor who lambasted Muslims and abortion week in and week out. Most fall in between those extremes.<br /><br />By most accounts, College Station is a conservative town and Texas A&M a conservative university, so I would imagine that she'll find herself a new church (in or out of TEC) soon enough.Trumwillhttp://hitcoffee.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-33447724078768676002009-11-13T11:37:05.956-05:002009-11-13T11:37:05.956-05:00intolerant and authoritarian as the most avid reac...<i>intolerant and authoritarian as the most avid reactionary.</i><br /><br />A common misconception. The kingdoms of the late 1800 (ie. authoritarian kingdoms) were by todays standards, unimaginably libertarian.<br /><br />A king sits in his capital and does not have the time, resources, or the inclination to worry about what his subjects are doing outside. A modern bureaucracy on the other hand...newt0311https://www.blogger.com/profile/00275501056310821335noreply@blogger.com
