I think we are having an impact on our world because Apostolics are preaching the gospel and people are being saved. Apostolic missionaries are preaching the gospel, building churches and orphanages around the world.
We have lost the culture wars though. We have lost the battle with our govt, workplaces and schools.
Quote:
A group of parents planned a silent rally outside an Oklahoma school Tuesday morning on a behalf of a transgender 12-year-old who has been subjected to threats of violence.
The school is closed through Wednesday in response to those threats.
The student, identified simply as “Maddie” to protect her identity, has identified as a girl at school for over two years now, but has typically used the staff bathroom to avoid being harassed. However, when she arrived at the newly-reopened middle school building this year, she was reportedly unable to find the staff bathroom and used the girls’ room instead.
Maddie’s mother, Brandy Rose, later clarified to CBS affiliate KXII that Maddie had only used the girls’ room “one single time.”
A parent in the district subsequently found out about that bathroom visit and posted threatening comments in a private Facebook group called “Achille ISD Parent Group,” referring to Maddie in transphobic terms.
“The transgender is already using the girls bathroom,” Jamie Crenshaw wrote before misgendering Maddie several times. “We have been told how the school has gone above and beyond to make sure he [sic] has his [sic] own restroom yet he [sic] is still using the girls.”
Other members of the group piled on with similarly transphobic language. “How old is this thing?” one user asked.
“This thing !!!! I love it,” another person replied. “Got a name 4 it now. Perfect name.”
“This is terrible !!” one user wrote. “Y’all have great kids and a lil half baked maggot is causing them probs. We feel 4 y’all.”
