Chaos Disorganised.

Goldfinch60



September 2021 he arrived,

Our New Minister at Church.

Lovely man,

Just what the Church needed

After the last two Ministers,

Ten years we suffered them

But the new one came,

So friendly,

So caring.

We met,

We spoke,

He heard my views,

My views on organised religion

And completely understood.

He was liked by all,

By all in the Church.

But then it happened,

Three months later

He was suspended,

No reason given,

Nobody told us why,

He was ‘Under investigation’!

That was now nearly two years ago

And still we have heard nothing,

Our Church is still without,

Without a permanent Minister!

No wonder Methodists refrain from alcohol,

They know not how,

How to organise a piss-up,

How to organise a piss-up in a brewery.

    A sot of 'nudge-nudge, wink-wink' affair? Happened near us. Minister turned out to be a sick paedo in that case.

    • Goldfinch60

      We have no idea what it is about, nobody will tell us.

        And yet a terrible thing - a former Vicar cleared of some old pervy charges in a court case. Terrible if they're accused and not guilty.

        I rest my case lol 🤣 fabulous ❤️ I wouldn't speculate but I could easily imagine. LoL😂

        • Goldfinch60

          Nobody is telling us anything.

          shh .. it happens and all too often

          • Goldfinch60

            It does but it would be good to know what has happened.

            Must be something that the church feels would be bad for their image. Better to keep the sheep ignorant of the shepherd's doings. Too bad no new shepherd has been sent.

            • Goldfinch60

              Such true words soren, thank you.

              he was probably flown away to a 'third world' city
              with plenty of defenceless victims to 'help'
              and undergo a church sponsored thorough
              moral 're-education', process
              in a country with no 'freedom of speech'
              no internet connected with the wider world
              to cry out and seek, 'help'...
              yes, organised religions
              have a way of REWARDING
              their own 'black' sheep
              community leaders
              while 'investigating' thoroughly...
              (sorry for my ignorant judgement
              of a person I've never met, Andy
              feel free to delete
              this opinionated puke of a rant
              on your poetry page..
              it's just there are thousands 'under investigation'
              right now, just in one denomination
              of that unChristian faith fallacy
              let alone the millions
              committing those most heinous of crimes
              of confidence betrayal in our world
              right in the core of our 'community's'..
              because some choose to trust them
              and ignore, that beneath the 'cloth'
              is a fallible human
              with sexual organs
              with need and wants
              and
              vile, cruel intensions...)
              i RAGE
              that THIS
              is STILL our Reality
              after Ireland, after everything
              It is still Happening
              while 10% of people's hard earned money
              is collected EVERY WEEK
              which goes towards paying for those
              pathetically immoral 'cover-ups'
              ... HOW???!

              • Goldfinch60

                I agree with your words Mek, organised religion is a farce but this man was so good to talk to unlike the previous two ministers we have had at the church. If only someone would say why this has happened it would help us all.

                And

              • 2781

                As an alternative view, he was more than liking the real deal, taken out by the real evil.
                No minister? Sounds great to me!
                You've gotta love a bango.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Quite likely 2781, perhaps the 'real deal' is no longer approved of in the church.

                    By their fruits you shall know them.
