Thank goodness for inclusiveness or nobody at all would be interested in attending the Episcopal Thing. And meetings. If it weren’t for meetings, committees, stuff like that, where you can vote on anything that comes to mind that tweaks the big red clown nose of Anglican Christians around the world, plus inclusiveness, and a lot of awareness sexually. That kind of thing. I think the Episcopal Thing has the formula down now, and success is just around the corner. Clowns everywhere give it two thumbs up!

By meetings, Mr. Clown Celebrant, do you mean meetings like the one in Jamaica that resembled a carnival or a circus – complete with a shell game,’now you see it, now you don’t'(handing-off the Covenant to the liberals so fast even the people watching on video didn’t know how it happened) and stealthy pickpockets (slipping in the Continuing Indaba propaganda Project without anyone noticing)- Is that what you mean by meetings???

“We’re growing” Years ago I served on a local county mental health board out in central Nebraska. This statement alone by Vicki,when compared to the actual figures, would have been enough to find him to be totally out of touch with reality and in need of immediate institutionalization. Hard-core anti-psychotic meds would also probably be necessary- homosexually speaking, that is.

Oh, but you see, his church *is* growing. Just look at the chart!

Fewer warm bodies, but more money. And that’s the important thing, right?

If you can misrepresent and flatly contradict what is stated in Scripture, fudging a few numbers in the attendance book of a tiny diocese is not going to cause you to lose sleep.

Well I guess in a way Robinson’s diocese is going to be loved by him. His appoinment has meant that those who couldn’t face such an anti-scriptural act have all left, leaving only those who affirm him.

What is it with single issue people? Are they blind to everything but their obsession?

“We’re growing”. I think he means “we’re growing…hydroponic chronic.”

The vestry is now a “grow room” and the social hall is a medical marijuana clinic.

Yes they are. What surprises me is the blatant lies these people are allowed to tell. The hypocrisy is stunning.

Didn’t mean to post yet. I also wanted to add a tangential observation.

Have you seen Changling? I watched it last night. It’s an excellent, complex story of a mother’s tragedy, police corruption, and terrible crimes.

SPOILER ALERT!

The story includes a serial killer who kidnaps and murders boys. It’s based on a true story and what gets left out is that he raped them before killing them. In fact, I’m not sure, but I think that in the movie, it refers to his killings “kids”, or “children”. Homosexualist ideology has so corrupted public discussion that we can’t even admit gays really do molest boys. The meme is so embedded that pedophilia is an issue separate from same-sex attractions (which is true, although there are correlations) that truth simply can’t be told. Creatures like the Episcopalian bishop Gene Robinson can claim his sect is growing, and no one challenges him for the liar he is.

“Thank goodness for inclusiveness…. And meetings. If it weren’t for meetings, committees, stuff like that, where you can vote on anything that comes to mind…”

And drink coffee…and eat doughnuts.

Mmmmmmm….meetings.

Excuse me, but is Gene anything other than gay and a sufferer of innumeracy?

FW Ken: I agree. During the heyday of the Roman Catholic sex scandals, the government media was very careful in calling it “pedophilia,” which, strictly speaking, pertains to adult males molesting girls under the age of consent. However, all of the stories had to do with adult males molesting boys who were under the age of consent. But, to report this would enrage the homosexual community, so it was not emphasized. The truth lost out to political correctness.

It’s clear that you don’t understand that, for the homosexual bishop of the homosexual Diocese of New Homosexualshire, “breeders” don’t count. As long as there is one more homosexual member in the homosexual Diocese of New Homosexualshire now than there was six homosexual years ago, his homosexual diocese is growing. Homosexually, so to speak.

Don – you are correct that the RC scandal was media managed to downplay the homosexual aspects. You can even argue it was fed largely by the media, as we now know schools have equivalent – or worse – problems, and, in fact, all men with access to kids (including married pastors) offend at about the same rate. Of course, there are lots of Catholic priests, so the raw numbers are greater.

However, pedophilia refers to a sexual attraction to prepubescent children, male or female. I know a fair number of pedophiles through my work, and while it’s true that many have primary attraction to boys, a goodly number are attracted to girls, and a fair number cross over between the sexes. Some pedophiles don’t act on their impulses, as well.

Indeed, the Catholic scandals involved predatory homosexual advances toward sexually mature young men, by and large.

“I would argue they are trying to take us to a place we have never been before.”

Well, perish the thought, Mr. First-Practising-Homosexual-Bishop-Ever.

Robbie is just full of the stuff of humanity. Like most post modern liberals he can lie without batting an eyelash. If he is called on it, he will claim he was misquoted or taken out of context.

The truth is not in these people!

You can even argue it was fed largely by the media, as we now know schools have equivalent – or worse – problems, and, in fact, all men with access to kids (including married pastors) offend at about the same rate.

Indeed. Cannot be emphasized enough. Does not by any means excuse or mitigate the horrific Catholic scandal. Nonetheless, one does grow weary of seeing clergy sex abuse of minors presented as a peculiarly (much less exclusively) Catholic Problem. It is not. Far from it. A recent independent study even suggested that the incidence, percentage wise, is about the same and may even be slightly greater in other churches. And that means all other churches and ecclesial communities.

Sorry for the digression, but this is a pet peeve of mine. We may now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Chris: The link to the pdf is broken. Do you know another place I can find those figures?

“New Homosexualshire”

Love that even better than “Cow Hampshire.”

Chris, For some reason the Charts site uses a random number generator for the individual chart pages and links do not work.

David – go to the Charts site and plug in the diocese of NH in the first drop-down, then after it has loaded, select View Diocese Chart.

–Little Miss Helpful

Oh sorry – wrong link Use Charts instead.

David Virtue has a very good article posted over at VOL on this same topic, entitled The Fictional World of New Hampshire Bishop V. Gene Robinson who as we all know, is a homosexual.

TLM: Thanks, that worked. I appreciate the assistance.

When Gene Robinson says the New Hampshire diocese is growing, it all depends on how he defines growing.

Robinson, the homosexual Bishop of New Hampshire, probably means that the percent of members who agree that it is a great idea to have a homosexual bishop of New Hampshire is growing because those who do not agree have left.

Kind of like Bill Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of “is” is.

Yes, Mr. Floridian, I do mean meetings like that, and more meetings, and more committees, and the listening process followed by careful, laser-like focus on homosexuals and all their needs, which should be met as soon as possible sparing no expense. Yes. All that. Also more if it.
