DCM 2 Who voted on this?
DCM 1 And why is our pastor's wife happy about this???
DCM 3 I knew she voted for Obama, but I didn't realize she was THIS liberal
DCM 1 Houston, we have a problem
DCM 2 No kidding
DCM 1 I don't think we can stay part of this church
DCM 2 We should pull all our money from the national church organization
DCM 1 We should pull our whole congregation from the national church organization
DCM 2 Yes, we cannot continue to be part of an organization that approves of this.
DCM 1 And if Painted approves of this, might her husband approve of this, too?
DCM 3 *gasp*
DCM 2 If that's the case, I'm not sure he can be our pastor anymore
DCM 3 *double gasp*
DCM 1 I agree. Let's talk some more about this.
DCM 2 Maybe we should draft a statement of our opposition
DCM 1 Let's talk with other people about our dismay
DCM 2 I'm angry
DCM 1 Me, too!
DCM 3 Should we maybe talk to them about it?
DCM 1 ???????????
DCM 2 There's a council meeting on Monday. Let's organize and come out with a strong stance at that meeting.
DCM 1 Agreed. I'll talk to some of my like minded friends.
DCM 3 Has anyone talked to Painted or her husband about this?
DCM 1 ??????
DCM 2 What's there to talk about, the bible is clear.
DCM 3 Well, obviously Painted doesn't think so, and some leaders in our national church organization don't think so. Should we take a look at the other side?
DCM 2 The other side is SATAN.
DCM 3 Ummmm....
DCM 1 See you at the meeting on Monday!

***** The original status is an actual status I posted on Facebook a few weeks ago. The comments are my imagined comments of some composite DCMs. Although frankly, I haven't heard any wind of someone as reasoned as DCM 3. And no one has said any of this as openly to me. I am hearing whispers and rumours. It was this that caused me to briefly go private with my blog. Monday night (9/14) is the council meeting. The actual comments that appeared under my status on FB were mostly in agreement, which some discussion and concern about this not going over well.

Wow. Just. Wow.
This is rocking me in 8 different ways.
If I can release some creative juices outside of The Thing, I am going to try and do this one... it's TOO GOOD!!!
That is rough. Really rough. I hope the meeting goes well.
I hope the meeting goes well. (your post makes facebook much more understandable to me. Thanks for your well wishes:)
My inclination as an outsider would be to say good riddance to the likes of DCM1 and DCM2, but I know this must be hurting and worrying you. It sucks. I hope the bigots will see their way to reason and/or compassion.
I hope your meeting goes well tonight. It must be tough to deal with.
I hope all goes well. These are scary times. I wish we could manage to be the Democracy we claim to be.
Ugh.
What happened to equal rights for EVERYONE? That's Satan? Grrrrr....
And the Bible is NOT clear on anything. Pulllleassse. I mean it is, but you know, almost everything is open to interpretation.
Yes - let us know how the meeting went. Perhaps on Facebook? Bwahahah.
Wow, that's real? People are like that?
Oh, Oh, Oh.
My dad was a pastor. I entirely understand. Oh, the stories I could tell...
wow. If I could come stand beside you in that meeting, I would.
Love it!!!! Sorry this was so traumatizing for you, but your telling in retrospect is great.
sometimes FB just makes me crazy--these kind of exchanges being why! good luck with it all.
I would have liked to play along with this one...alas, it is Friday and I'm just now opening my reader!
You're brave. You're real. And in my opinion, you happen to be right.
