There have been times I have thought about leaving the SBC. For instance, when I found out Lifeway was going to sell The Shack I considered leaving. However, I have stayed because I believe overall the convention does the right thing when it comes time to do the right thing. Case in point--today the convention voted almost unanimously to disfellowship Broadway Baptist Church for its approval of the homosexual lifestyle.
I am so proud to be a Southern Baptist. Particularly today after this vote.

Now if Broadway would only remove "Baptist" from their name. I even have a suggestion. They could call it "Broadway that Leadeth to Destruction Church"
Lee,
That is too funny!!
Joe-
There's an old joke you may not have heard: "all Baptist pastors have had gay sex; because sooner or later, every preacher gets screwed by the deacons."
Get a life, Joe. Broadway Baptist Church is a great church. It is a gentle place, where people can ask questions without being thrown out the door. It is a spiritual hospital where members can recover from bad families and bad churches. It is obviously full of people who would be unwelcome and unwanted at your church.

I'm thinking of a more secular proverb:
"you can dish it out but you can't take it"
It's a corollary of Mat. 7:2

Oh, why don't you, just for the fun of it, rent a backbone so that you might can pretend that you're man enough to leave your name.
