Humanity is fine but other than saying biologically there are 2 sexes male and female what else is there to complain about?  Nobody loses any rights a biological male gets male rights a biological female female rights.  JK Rowling agrees.
To keep the conversation towards Thailand, Thailand only put the birth gender on passports despite its acceptance of transgender people.
Certainly something that should not be politically dealt with by a religious leader.

You'd better listen again.

Why Rowling, you mention her as some kind of guru.

Trump's response -- he calls her NASTY.

 

Yet he calls himself a Christian and Christians call him one of their own. I guess not putting his hand on a bible (two were offered by Melania) is kind of a hint.

 

 

How about keeping the church out of politics? 

she is not up their speaking as she claims in the "name of her god" she is speaking to her own agenda

if she wants to turn her pulpit into a political forum, it seems any response she receives is fair game.

as for Trump calling her "NASTY," you are cherry-picking. The Video states he called her tone nasty -- a significant difference.

Just like her, you are misrepresenting things to forward your own interests.

The only church I follow is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

let us leave out grifting his own edition of the bible!

All other versions of The Bible are free to anyone who wants one are they?   Or are they all, without exception, for-profit business enterprises?

Hi Lou. How is that NOT obvious ?? Just watch the two of them around each other. It looks a poisoned relationship. And it's widely rumoured that Melania will live in NYC not the White House. You think she is in denial about Trump's serial philandery ?? Trump is basically a sleazebag of the first order and she knows that.

 

Replying to another Poster earlier, whatever the situation about pre-nups, Melania would be rewarded handsomely if she left Trump, because it would be worth billions to stop her, dishing the dirt !

I wouldn't go as far as to say she is a guru but she does have a common sense approach to woke'ism'

Anyways that lesbian bishop was not just eluding to lgbt she also had opinions on immigration what does she want to be a bishop or senator needs to make her mind up

About Melania. She has signed prenups and also updated contracts.

There is no way she profits from dumping him. 

I wonder why she was wearing sunglasses, even inside the church.

Well, there are plenty of organisations which make the bible available free - The Gideons spring to mind, but there are others.

 

Personally I would suggest that in Trump's case the bibles he sells are purely intended to capitalise on his name, and make money for him.

Sooooo, just like most of our Thailand residing posters with their oh so young brides. Mine was 30 years younger than I ( she was 30 when she married me ), and didn't get rich off me, so not money.

rather funny you should choose to use your own relationship to make a point when you have spent years on here moaning about how she dumped you flat on your ass.

Take a chill pill fella I always think there should be an element of humour on these forums rather than being so serious all the time x

[jas007]

After his first inauguration, Trump had the good sense to skip the National Prayer Service.  He should have continued that tradition.

My you really do have reading issues, don't you?

I have pointed out a simple vocabulary error and ignored your attempt at "humour." 

There is no argument -- at no point did I question your message. 

As you have so astutely pointed out, we do agree on that.

She should be preaching the gospel, not projecting her personal feelings.

Disgusting, should be fired.

The Gospel teaches mercy, consideration for the vulnerable, the poor, those struggling on the margins of society. It teaches love,  kindness and tolerance. It emphasises charity and compassion.

 

All ideals in the New Testament, even (I assume) in the version produced in Donald Trump's name, although (again I assume) he will never have read it.

 

She was doing exactly what she was supposed to do, preaching the Gospel.

If the President found it to be "nasty", embarrassing and annoying then perhaps that should be food for thought?

 

The Gospel also has quite a lot to say about hypocrites at prayer!

She was smug, self righteous, racist, and worst of all....boring. Yet more tired leftist bromides.   

Are you talking about the President?

 

You left out misogynist, willfully ignorant, corrupt, a convicted felon, civilly convicted se offender, Narcissist, brain-addled, psychopath, and obese. Hey, but he's not all bad...he's helping keep the makeup industry in the black with all the goop he lathers on his face every day. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't yet tried to schlepp a foundation in Mar-a-Lagorange shade, or given rumors about a certain former softcore porn model and the poolboy, Cuck l'Orange.

 

Always happy to help!

The Bishop apparently doesn't understand that Jesus didn't support criminals. He was apparently a law abiding Jew.

Well, then the President either was mistaken or he simply lied again in his silly Inaugural speech where he made some bogus claim of some deity saving him so he could save 'Merika. He's only stuck at 34 felony convictions because of the pity-appointment of Garland as AG.

 

I also think it's kind of dishonest when he claims crime was up under Biden when 47 and his terrorist goobers almost single-handedly account for all the crimes.

[Prubangboy]

Loved thin skinned fattie's petulant whining for an apology.

 

If he were any more beta cuck, he'd be posting here.

Wow, that was so clever! Did you manage to think it all up by yourself, or did you have help?  Somehow methinks the latter...

 

But no, of course I was talking about the bishop who took the opportunity to repeat her shallow and facile message about all those poor folks who need to fear for their lives due to the Bad Orange Man.  This has been a theme of hers for nearly a decade, nothing new or fresh about it at all.  She enjoys the limelight of media attention, which is a little unseemly for a member of the clergy IMHO. As is getting too involved in partisan politics. 

[Prubangboy]

But as far as it goes, even tho Trump must die -hopefully at the hands of Milania, using her zany soup plate hat like Odd Job's bowler hat in Goldfinger- it was indeed a grandstanding show of passive aggressive impotence from that minister with her 5th Beatle-style haircut.

 

It was Fattie's day in the sun fair and square, and the event should have been apolitical.

 

Also: Begging Fattie Ming The Merciless for mercy is just tossing more gasoline on his sociopathic fire.

Nah, the tired old hag who thought it was the right place and time to rehash her grievances and try to look 'stunning and brave'. She had better take care of her flock- church membership has dropped by a quarter in the last decade. Wonder why...

 

Indeed

 

She shat all over a special and unique day for him, his family and the US.

 

Dragged out the same tired rubbish that they spent the last ten years lying to the public about.

 

He has every right to feel aggrieved and maligned.. he was.

 

Doesn't matter. He's one tough mf and on a mission.

 

One thing the left has to go to bed with every night. Not only did they lose, but they lost the nation. It's going to be three terms before the even possibility of a Democrat might see the presidential office.

 

That's a whole lot of scorched earth between now and then.
