Guest Post by The Zman
I have a friend who was a reverend in the Episcopal Church. He is technically still in the church, but he has decided to find another vocation. The main reason is that most of the people running the church are women, along with a high number of homosexuals. The result is the people running the church care more about social justice and their genitals than anything else. Like most of the mainline Protestants churches, the Episcopal Church has become a circus of degeneracy and general lunacy. As a result their pews are empty.

That said, you can learn a lot about the direction of the Cult of Modern Liberalism by watching the mainline Protestant churches. They are so desperate for attention, they tend to give the game away by going overboard in the latest Progressive fads. Their internal war on heterosexual white men has been going on a long time now, long before the rest of the Progs decided to make war on the honkyman. This story out of Virginia shows the true nature of the statue toppling stuff and its ultimate goal.
Leaders at the church that George Washington attended decided that a plaque honoring the first president of the United States must be removed.
Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia will take down a memorial marking the pew where Washington sat with his family, saying it is not acceptable to all worshipers.
“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome,” leaders said, a reference to the fact that Washington was a slaveholder.
“Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques.”
“Many in our congregation feel a strong need for the church to stand clearly on the side of ‘all are welcome- no exceptions,’” they concluded.
A memorial to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee will also come down.
These churches are big on the “all are welcome” stuff. They hang banners outside their empty churches with this slogan, usually decorated with rainbows. My suggestion is the alt-right toughs should take pics of themselves dressed as Hitler, posing in front of these stupid signs. That would make for a hilarious social media campaign. The fact is, the only people welcome in these hell holes are Progressive nutters and sexual deviants. As is always the case with The Cult, the opposite of what they say is usually the truth.
If you have any doubts about any of this, take a look at the roster of clergy running this church. The rector has two last names, suggesting she is keeping her options open. A good rule of thumb is that a woman with two last names is a nut. That’s probably why she hired a tranny as a youth counselor. Her second in command is a former actress, a profession known to attract the stable and virtuous. Two more women fill out the priestly class of this old church. It’s not hard to see why they are waging jihad on George.
That’s the thing with these churches. They are run by social justice warriors who see the church as a vehicle to inflict Progressive morality on their congregations. You can be sure that no one in the church gave a damn about George Washington. These hens spend all day clucking about what they read in the New York Times or heard on NPR. They came up with the idea of evicting the father of the country, because they wanted attention. It is virtue signalling, but their idea of virtue originates outside the Episcopal Church.
Of course, this was always the end point of the Rebel Flag burning and statue toppling. It is the thing everyone knew all along. It may have started as a tantrum by Cloud People aimed at the Dirt People, but it was going to end as a orgy of self-abnegation. These people hate their own kind. They hate their ancestors. The reason is, they hate themselves and the way to erase themselves is to erase their past. Progressives dream of the day when they no longer exist and any memory of them is gone too.
God speed Christ Church.
The Apostle Paul says regarding women in the church “Do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man “Adam sinned knowing what he was doing ,Eve was Deceived .In other words women are more easily led into error because women think with their emotions.
Women can have leadership positions as long as they are under the authority of a Godly man. I didn’t write the Bible so I didn’t make the rules. Feminism has no place in the church.Period.
I guess you can’t even begin to think that some “laws” are not moral laws, but traditions based on cultural issues specific at that point in time
I’ll wager ten thousand dollars you never heard of Huldah … a woman …. who preached the word of God … with authority .. to men … including the High Priest.
I guess you’ll ignore that Paul said Phoebe was a leader … cuz the KJV translators decided to erroneously translate the word as “helper” (they also had an ax to grind)
I suppose you’ll minimize the leader of the church at Ephesus .. Priscilla .. whom Paul considered his equal .. a “fellow worker in Christ” … or that she explained the gospel to a man, Appolos
I guess we’ll just ignore the woman at the well … and that she evangelised the entire town to go meet Jesus.
To name but a few examples of very many … and more often than not, they are not “under the authority of a Godly man.”
I suppose I couldn’t interest you in looking up “anachronism” ,.. and asking you how that might apply to cultural issues in the Bible.
Lastly, since I know the answer — that you are NOT interested in cultural anachronisms — let me ask you a question: Why don’t you own slaves, or support slavery?? It’s a very valid Biblical concept, even in the New Testament.

I’m not surprised by your quaint … or, antiquated .. views. What IS surprising is the number of thumbs up you got. I guess keeping two thousand year old cultural customs is appealing to many. I wonder how many who up-voted are women?
Stucky the feminist. why, I never…
You are deep, Stuck 🙂
NOT a feminist. But, thanks.
Just against TWO THOUSAND YEAR OLD THINKING on cultural issues.
I’m against TWO THOUSAND YEAR OLD THINKING on metaphysical and epistemological issues. However, there is some rather older than that which still has merit.
In reality most human “thinking”, inasmuch as it’s genetically determined, is far, far “older” than a mere 2000 years. A compelling case can in fact be made for literally millions of years.
Don’t forget Deborah. She was pretty cool. Back in the day, I did a series of Sunday School lessons on Biblical Womenz. Deborah was my favorite after Martha. (Somebody had to make dinner dammit! unless they just wanted to eat stale bread and dry fish like the Sermon on the Mount crowd.)
I didn’t forget. I appreciate you bringing it up!!
I mentioned this before, a while back … for one of those stupid elective courses I was forced to take in college I selected Women In The Bible. Mostly to meet chicks. That was a complete failure … bunch of feminazi libtards. Yeah, there are many examples in the Bible of women in position of authority leading and presiding over MEN!
DOESN’T MATTER ON FUCKING IOTA.
Look at the 28 thumbs up bb got … cuz you women are easily deceived … and you MUST report to a man .. he says. I can’t remember if it was him or someone else who believes women shouldn’t even be allowed to vote! And blames some or many of our problems on women in the workforce! Actually, there’s more than one or two such troglodytes. Those comments also get many thumbs up. Barbarians, one and all. 28. Thumbs. Up. Shocking, really.
If I were a woman, there’s no way in hell I’d hang out here on a regular basis. How in the hell do YOU do it?? You must have extremely thick skin.
Maybe that’s one reason we’ve lost several women posters. Who the fuck voluntarily wants to stay at a place where women are regularly told to ‘shut up and submit, it’s in da Bible’, and then see the overwhelming majority of TPBers agree with the Village Idiot. of all people?
I should probably stick to only submitting original articles, and skip the posting. I feel I have less and less in common with more and more people …. especially the bible thumpers, misogynists, and Trump nut sack lickers. Legion is their name.
When did facts/truth ever matter. If the truth ever mattered there would not be this gaggle of nut sack connoisseurs.
Otto Rank. Idiotic, satanagram, to mess with, or write off, the germanaustrians. Especially, often enough, the jewish ones.
“The student of linguistics must get entirely out of his head the idea that gender is merely a distinction of sex. In the North American Indian languages (& probably in the Bantu & the Indo-European also) gender is usually a classification method. We find the classification of “higher” & “lower” beings, that presently became one of “male” & “female” in the Semitic languages, which, even thus early, breathe the moral outlook of the East. Here too the primitives disclose to us the deeper sources, for (according to Powell) the main principle of their classification is to divide the animate & inanimate objects.
Thus the inclusion of primitive languages within the scope of study has shown this phenomenon of grammatical genders to be but a part of a wider & much more complex system of classification; & this makes it all the more interesting to follow the phenomena of transition. Opposed to the two-gender system of Semitic & Hamitic languages & the three-gender system of the Indo-European, we have the Indian classification that we have just been discussing, based chiefly on the distinction of “soul” & “no soul” (living & non-living), though, it is true, there attaches itself to this a certain valuation as “personal” & “impersonal,” which reappears in the distinction of masculine & feminine. Most interesting of all are the transitional languages which show the beginning of the sexualization side by side with the old basis of classification. According to Meinhof, the developed system of the Bantu languages has more than twenty classes with special prefixes; & between them & our two-gender system, we have, for instance, Hamitic Ful, in which, above the old classification of nouns, we have an overlying new system with only four headings: persons, things, big, & small, whence, as the big pass into the class of persons, & the small into that of things, a twofold system is developed, corresponding into our division of masculine & feminine. This gives us a glimpse into the valuation-principle which *eventually* identifies persons, living, big, & important things with man, & non-living, small, & unimportant things with woman. (In Bedauye this is still quite clear. Thus, a cow is masculine because in these lands it is the chief support of ordinary existence; the flesh is, however, feminine because relatively to the whole cow it is of less importance.) This gives us an exact parallel to the totemistic system, discussed earlier, which does not stop with the prohibitions regarding certain women (exogamy) or animals (totem), but assigns values to everything in the world by division into good & bad. The only problem here is: why does woman always come into the class of the evil, the dangerous, & the less valuable? As I have explained, this arises from the individual’s urge to externalize himself personally, an urge which is threatened by sexual propagation, of which woman is the representative, & so woman passes into what I have called the Not-I class, which includes dangerous as well as unimportant (& neutral) things.” ~ Art & Artist
my wife a devout Roman Catholic wonders why I want nothing to do with orginized religions . It’s not faith in something or power greater than ourselves . It’s the meddling idiots and deviants you find trying to run the church and it’s doctrines off a cliff . No I will not be following that and any supreme being of infinate power and knoledge will understand . The examples set by churches today are not the examples I was raised with in the Episcopal Church . Drunk lesbian bishop runs over a person on a bike and fleas the scene or a chruch that has a policy of hiding the pediphile priests and relocating them and paying off the parents WTF . What kind of people would want to be involved with such ….
Funny, I’m in the exact same situation with my wife. Her family is the same way too. What this new pope preaches would essentially eradicate their way of life, yet they still love him and his church. She got mad at me when I said that under no circumstances are my children to ever be left alone with a member of the catholic clergy. I said that I’m well aware that most of them aren’t child molesters, but enough of them are that im not taking the chance. These organizations are rotten to the core.
All are welcome? What a crock.
Obviously anyone who fails to hold the views of the current mob, even if they lived hundreds of years ago, are NOT welcome.
People need to begin understanding how Satan works within the Church.
He isn’t what is portrayed in the movies today, he is a deceiver and liar that subtly plants deceit and lies in peoples thinking so they are taken away from God and become his subjects instead.
His work is within the Church, he already has those outside of it and leaves them alone for the most part since they already belong to him. It’s those people and organizations who try to stand against him that he works on, not those who follow him, and it is in them that you will most clearly see his works.
Deceit, deception and lies: The Mark of Satan.
Ed McMahon: “Heeeeeer’s Saaaatan, Johnny!”
Johnny: “What the hell are you wearing? I expected a red suit.”
Satan: “I’m dressed as a rooooaring lion!”
Johnny: “Seeking someone to devour?”
Satan: “Shhh! But, yeah.”
Johnny: “Get the fuck outta here! Ed, who is our next guest?”
Ed: “Some dude named bb. He’s here to talk about how women are inferior to men.”
Johnny: “Fuck me dead. Can we bring Satan back on the air??”
No. When Satan takes over a church some people leave and the church sitters become Satanists.
Anon> .. he already has those outside of it..
S.a.t.a.n. Situational•awareness•takes•a•nap.
It’s all satan’s doing – pay no attention to the couch potato behind the curtain.
The San Tan mountains & valley are right abut Queen Creek (not king creek).
The Superstition range is where the Dutchmen supposedly lost El Dorado, but whether or not, when you believe in things you don’t understand, then you suffer – & suffering loves company – superstition\self-deception ain’t the w•a•y. And yet, ipso facto, y•a•w is the pitch that rolls…
“Ann brings to parish ministry a 20-year career as an actress in television and theater and 12 years as a yoga teacher.”
And the other one is in real estate? RE people are mostly pricks. How does any of this qualify a person to lead a church? As a wise friend once said to me “Christ wouldn’t approve of people selling the EARTH”.
I imagine that church was sustained by funds provided by George Washington. I wonder if they have considered giving the money back.
On our way to the hospital every Tuesday we pass a church. For the past 8 months they have a huge flag hung over one of the stained glass windows. Solid black with white lettering — “black lives matter.
Funny .. the town of Summit probably isn’t even 5% black.
Two things I hate … and so does Da Lawd;
— churches who preach politics
— WHITE libtards
Hey Meathead ,I never said women are inferior to men but God made us different with different gifts that we bring to the table .
Stucky ,why do you think to this day the Rothschilds Never let women run any of their banking Establishments ? You may say the Federal Reserve has Grandma Jew running it but the Federal Reserve is not entirely owned by the Rothschilds.
OK. But, you implied it. And when taken with your history here of less than flattering comments about women, the implication seems reasonable. Meathead.
Whatever. Real Christians don’t need to compare their clothes every week, anyway. I love seeing the giant walmart megachurches. Those, to me, are made for the MassMan. Shuffle in and embrace the baloney. I pass by a church in the center of my town daily which is proud to stick the homo flag in their little sign case. I’ve never bothered to drop by cuz’ any church that needs to virtue signal is no church for me. Also, women shouldn’t be preachers and allowing homos to be ordained in a religion that expressly forbids homos is ludicrous. You might as well ordain a muslim. In fact, in the interest of openness and equality, let’s pass out ordinations to muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Satanists, and run-of-the-mill child molesters. Can’t afford to leave any special interest group disenfranchised.
Boat guy you have it. Thorganized churches can promote what they please. I can not go there and keep my money.
There’s a Bible on my bedside table and every time I step outside I’m in a cathedral. That’s worked for plenty of people for thousands of years.
The modern Christian Church is to the soul what McDonald’s is to the body. You might think you’re feeding your hunger, but the reality is that you’re starving yourself for something nourishing.
Let the dead bury the dead.
Religion : pointless rituals and mindless superstition . It is the only thing seperating is from the animals !
