A New York pastor surprised churchgoers with the extraordinary revelation that he is transitioning into a woman and will now use she/her pronouns. Reverend Phil Phaneuf, 51, who was born male, shared that she has been undergoing a gender transition with her congregation at North Chili United Methodist Church (UMC) during Sunday service. 'I get to announce with joy that I am transitioning. I am affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender,' the veteran pastor, wearing a rainbow stole, declared this past Sunday. ,

Don’t call HIM a her or a she!! It is not true, and he is under a huge, destructive delusion. May the Lord have mercy on him, for rebellion against God and His word, and against the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which he is “ordained” to uphold!! May he repent and flee from the wrath to come!

I thought religious leaders were to set an example for their parish. I will not say it should not have surgery and undergo transition, that is between him and his God. However, I will say that he should not be allowed to be a role model for those in his church and community, as religious leaders should be, as he is setting a poor example for those who look up to him. The sooner we do away with this gender surgery quackery, the happier we will be. There is no ability to change one's body through surgery and meds to become another sex; you are what God made you.

Annnnnd, of course, Sonya goes right along with the female pronouns. Ironically, she’s attempting to virtue-signal. If I were to identify as a cat, do you think she’d still be willing to use my feline descriptors? Is the emperor naked, Sonya? For the record, I’m not a cat.

If you are a "cradle Methodist," and are appalled at the UMC, look into the new Global Methodist Church. I feel blessed each Sunday at worship with our faithful GMC pastor who left his UMC church to shepherd our new church.

Deranged dude, don't you remember these words from your formation? Receive the Word of God. Believe what you read, Teach what you believe, and Practice what you teach. Your ideology is incoherent and irreconcilable with the Gospel of Christ. But if you're going to pretend to be a woman, I guess you won't have qualms about pretending to still be a pastor. Lord, have mercy; Reverend Phil has no stinkin' clue what he's doing.

If those photos are him, he's had more than hormone therapy. Hw also says he has only had three months of hormone therapy. It is a lifelong regimen. He also says he was pretending to be a man. No, he was a mixed up man. He is now pretending to be a woman. This aging fool should have gotten himself a red convertible.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ripped Rep.

I’ll be honest with you, OK. Somebody will say, ‘Oh, that’s not politically correct.’ I don’t care. I don’t want them in our country.

DENVER (KDVR) — There’s going to be a new bathhouse in the city. Picture the communal bathhouses that date back centuries, but modern with an urban garden with saunas, mineral pools and even a geothermal well to heat the tubs. That’s the plan for the area around Osage Street and Colfax Avenue. It’s known as Coba Bathhouse and was created with the idea of bringing people back together. Colorado locals Memphis Orion, the CEO, Jon Medina, the CCO and Adam Lerner, the chief strategic officer are shaping the bathhouse to do just that.

President John F. Kennedy's granddaughter publicly torched her cousin Robert F. Kennedy in an essay revealing her secret terminal cancer fight. Tatiana Schlossberg, 35, said she watched in horror from her hospital bed as RFK Jr was confirmed for the top health post in February. She said the health-care system she relied on suddenly felt 'strained, shaky' after RFK Jr's confirmation and that she worried about losing access to leukemia and bone-marrow trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering, her best chance at remission. Writing on the 62nd anniversary of JFK's assassination, Schlossberg revealed she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer, in May 2024.

The anti-ICE gunman who killed one migrant and wounded two others at a Dallas ICE facility on Wednesday was once a pot-obsessed slacker who hustled marijuana from Washington back to his home state of Texas, according to his ex-boss. Joshua Jahn, 29 — who fired from a rooftop at a busload of migrants escorted by federal agents into the immigration facility before turning the gun on himself — worked a short-lived job on a legal cannabis farm in Benton City in 2017, where his ex-employer remembered him as a weed-loving drifter with little direction or drive.

Your dollar will pay for founder Luke Iseman to drive a Winnebago RV into the hills half an hour outside Saratoga, California, to release a balloon loaded with sulfur dioxide, an air pollutant normally spewed by volcanic eruptions. He and his 1,000 paying customers hope the balloon will burst in the stratosphere, releasing particles that will block sunlight and cool the planet.

Sometimes people (including myself) draw conclusions on the basis of incomplete information, so let’s start with what’s really known. Our military launched another missile attack on a drug-smuggling fast boat. The boat burst into flames and was dead in the water but did not immediately sink. On-scene surveillance showed that not all of the 11 crew members were killed. One or two men were seen moving in the water.
