The Debacle of GA '20: The UUA's Unambiguous Response to Rev. Todd Eklof

Remember professional drama queen and attention whore Christina Rivera?

This one: She's mentioned in these articles: HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and HERE, and many other places HERE.

Her behavior was critiqued in Rev. Todd Eklof's The Gadfly Papers. We all know how that turned out. 

Rev. Todd's congregation is being pressured to let him go. Oddly, they are using his ex-communication from the UUMA and from ministerial "fellowship" with the UUA, as selling points that somehow his ministry has been tarnished. 

Of course, this is shit coming from the UUA, so... you know. The reality is that both the pathetic ex-communication from the UUMA, and the vindictive one from the UUA are badges of honor. There is a powerful group in his congregation, a group called UUnite, who very much see these as badges of honor. And they are WOKE to the UUA's methods of doing business.

Lesson for the UUA: Sometimes the UUA's vindictive shit backfires. This may be just the shove the Spokane congregation needs to leave the UUA. This is being taken more and more seriously in that congregation the more the brain-trust at the UUA pushes their agenda on the congregation. 

Other individuals and congregations are taking note.

But, fear not! The UUA has one weapon in their arsenal that always seems to shoot them in the foot. The UUA loves, loves, loves to reward bad behavior.

Full thing HERE

Rev. Todd Eklof has been shunned for being a man of integrity by the idiots who run the UUA. At the same time, those very same fanatics reward what in a sane world would be regarded as startlingly bad behavior with one of their highest honors.

The idiots who run the UUA really are that childish, and stupid. It makes me wonder if Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray is partially retarded. (I guess the world will never know.)

It's childish because by elevating someone who has caused what appeared to be intentional damage to the denomination for what appears to be nothing more than personal gain, it makes its message clear. "Nyah, nyah, nyah, we don't like you Todd! We threw you in the trash and promoted an institutional cancer instead! We prefer institutional cancer to you!" 

Yup, that is how the UUA acts. It has acted this way since at least the time of the John Buehrens/Denny Davidoff presidency. No shit. [I've been calling this period the Buehrens/Davidoff presidency because much like George Bush and Dick Cheney, we all know who the "president" was and we all know who really called the shots.]

It's stupid because now that they've made their point, they have to live with their decision. So, for instance, let's say that this behavior is repeated. (There's no reason to believe that it won't be repeated as her bad behavior has been rewarded.) So, let's say this is repeated. Well after such a glowing ass-kissy award (reward?) the UUA will be stuck defending this behavior every time it rears its head.

Another lesson for the UUA: When you reward bad behavior, it will not only continue, it will in all likelihood increase. Enjoy the bed you've made.

Your Old Pal,
