The only person who will be upset if the unity committee doesn't pass the proposed rules will be TW himself. He has a skewed opinion of his place in this denominational structure; he thinks (as did his father before him) that as president of the General Conference he is boss of the church. He can dictate when and how we should worship, for instance. As for myself, I'll just sit back and wait till TW's term of service is ended, and then the denominational activities can return to normal. Remember: The pastorate in our church is TO SERVE, not to boss the members. The strength of our church is at the grass roots -- in the membership. There is absolutely no Scriptural basis for disallowing women in the ministry. Jeannieb

False allegations have been around for a long time!

For thousands of years women have NOT been believed. Now the pendulum has swung far out in the other direction. It may finally rest somewhere nearer the middle (where it should rest). Believe to begin with - yes. But MeToo does not carry MORE WEIGHT than InnocentUntilProvenGuilty.

The DEMS are certainly displaying selective moral outrage. They defended Kennedy, Clinton, etc. etc. etc. etc. They are using the current favorite cause victims (#MeToo) for political/power gain. It is a revelation of things to come - prophetically speaking, when the current of moral/political outrage will be turned against believers, against Jews, against the morally conservative. (It already is, but it will get worse.) The Beast with 2 horns (like a lamb) will speak smooth half truths, which most will believe. The testimony of false witnesses will seem "very credible". Watching the unrelenting attacks made me shiver, as I imagined myself in his place. My life before I met Christ, was not something I would want to hear detailed on news programs, or by attacking senators.
