What Would Jesus Do?
I believe I know or I believe that Jesus would never turn his back on someone. Apparently some of the folks at Jonesville Baptist Church in South Carolina think Jesus would turn his back on some of his people.
Jonesville Baptist Church is considering a rule that says the church will not announce on the pulpit or in the bulletin the birth of a child to an unwed mother. They're also going to consider a rule or bylaw that would also ban any baby showers for unwed mothers from being held at the church or any of their buildings.
These are the same people that wear t-shirts and bracelets with the WWJD? Imprinted on them. What Would Jesus Do? I don't think he would turn his back on someone. Maybe Jonesville Baptists Church in Jonesville, South Carolina needs to understand that maybe a pregnant, unwed single women needs the church in this type of situation more so than ever. And the church is going to turn their back on them.
This is a type of bylaw that would make me leave a church. And I don't think I want to visit a church that does this type of thing. Ridiculous.

I totally agree with you. That's really too bad.
But, oh so typical of today's Christians...
you people should be protesting your fellow Christians' attitudes instead of writing little hissy-fit blogs about them.
Action gets attention, not hand-wringing.

I totally agree with your take on this particular situation. I am living in Iowa right now and this has happened at my inlaws church in South Carolina. And I have writen letters to the preacher and voiced my opinion to those that I know from that community.
It would be nice if you could show who you are instead of hiding behind an anonymous signature...
