Things are different from church to church sarah FAILIN May 2018 #99
...but the OP is talking about "interrupting" the service and potentially getting arrested. brooklynite May 2018 #102

Thanks for posting this. I just got off the phone with a friend who is a Methodist. Tipperary May 2018 #35
On his way into interupt the service he will probably pass this sign grantcart May 2018 #49
This op really has missed the mark on this one. Tipperary May 2018 #58
People are angry and they should be, but he doesn't have the facts he thinks he has. grantcart May 2018 #60
Good post. Tipperary May 2018 #61
Excellent. So glad to hear it. Esp since I was raised Methodist. Thanks. nt Honeycombe8 May 2018 #89
I agree True Blue American May 2018 #96
Simply put they are not missing, they are hiding grantcart May 2018 #36
No. These kids are missing. Are_grits_groceries May 2018 #41
Wrong, a perfect example of two stories that are being mixed together grantcart May 2018 #46
They have NO idea where those kids are or who has them. Spare me. onecaliberal May 2018 #103
lol, which has nothing to do with the fact that they are conflating two different stories grantcart May 2018 #106
Do you have any documentation or links to articles about that? summer_in_TX May 2018 #114
I think you're on the wrong site. Enjoy the dust bin. onecaliberal May 2018 #122

This poster said last year that she intended to rip up a tablecloth from the table at a holiday Tipperary May 2018 #43
Sigh.... Are_grits_groceries May 2018 #52
I called your post a "type" not you. Tipperary May 2018 #55
Or, how about not stalking other posters history to look at "types" of either? moriah May 2018 #57
Nope. No stalking. I have a good memory and that one stuck because of my own issues at the time. Tipperary May 2018 #59
And it's still far more productive to, as others and I did, suggest... moriah May 2018 #62
I remembered. Then it seemed kind of a trend. A pattern, if you will. Tipperary May 2018 #63
Grits felt like you were stalking enough to have already done it.... moriah May 2018 #65
I am so glad you are here to defend this poster. But I do not care about your opinion. Tipperary May 2018 #66
I care about people not making DU suck. moriah May 2018 #67

Apparently. cwydro May 2018 #76
I didn't remember it, but obviously it didn't get traction. moriah May 2018 #79
Hell, I got a hide once for commenting that I was on jury duty. True story. Tipperary May 2018 #80
Yeah. That's why I engage the behavior. moriah May 2018 #81
I do serve, but never alert unless it is really something awful. Tipperary May 2018 #82
Bingo, same here. moriah May 2018 #84

Good question. cwydro May 2018 #50
You might use some Old Testament Leviticus, a book the conservative members love so much. Brother Buzz May 2018 #45
United Methodist -- you could interrupt by asking to make a Personal Testimony. moriah May 2018 #51
Good approach lunamagica May 2018 #78
Especially if it would lead to everyone working, including Grits, with the wider UMC initiatives! moriah May 2018 #86
