I would really love to know how many young people stay through adulthood in these churches that are protesting (and are not on payroll or expected to take a church position in the future)? Fire away!

Sis,
do you think ethics are important when dealing with ministry?? Why didn't they find some youth that had made a perfect score in school, or brought out the person that was the champ of the quiz team, and make them a roll model. The whole point is not that the org is God, the whole point is that it ain't ethically right for someone in leadership to go contrary to the current bylaws that the constituency holds and present someone that contradicts them as a roll model. ETHICS is what I am talking about, not whether the bylaws are right or not.
BTW,
I am protesting, and all my kids continue to have a real relationship with God.
