After watching the behavior of SBC leadership for many years, I have less than zero confidence they will do the right thing. The SBC is a rotten organization with a pious face.

At the Pentagon's official worship services, the preachers have been mostly from the Southern Baptist Convention, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, and white evangelicalism. #ThisistheSBC
Thanks to @briankaylor.bsky.social who does us all a service by tracking this.
The abortion death penalty bill failed in the Tennessee legislature.
Outside the hearing room, the bill's supporters sang hymns & shouted "Christ is king."
Never forget: This bill was endorsed by the president of the Southern Baptist Convention. #ThisistheSBC

“Resistance begins with truth-telling, and clergy sex abuse survivors are the ones who brought truth-telling to the table.”
It’s how survivors wrecked SBC leaders’ ability to control the narrative. #ThisistheSBC

We should all be worried about Tennessee’s proposal to allow the death penalty for women who have an abortion, because what starts in Tennessee may not stay in Tennessee.
And Southern Baptist leaders would wish to impose this on the nation. #ThisistheSBC

While Southern Baptist leaders are busy endorsing the death penalty for women who have abortions, they might want to remember that 1 in 3 women in Southern Baptist churches have had abortions. #ThisistheSBC

The people who want women put to death for having abortions are the same people who, for decades, have turned a blind eye to pastors who rape kids, rejecting institutional accountability & common-sense safeguarding measures. #ThisistheSBC

Tennessee bill would allow the death penalty for women who have an abortion. It's endorsed by the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest non-Catholic faith group in the nation. #ThisistheSBC

While SBC leaders are busy praising themselves as "forces for good," the headlines of Southern Baptist pastors arrested/charged/tried for child sex abuse continue almost daily.
Many 100s of kids raped by pastors in the name of God. Nothing good about it. #ThisistheSBC

Long before the #EpsteinFiles redactions, there were the redactions in Southern Baptists' long-secret list of credibly accused clergy sex abusers.
In 2022, under pressure, SBC officials said they would un-redact some names.
Still waiting. #ThisistheSBC

"They have such misplaced confidence...that they even platform a documented cover-upper. In any other world, this would be sadly ludicrous & recklessly irresponsible. But in the SBC, it’s what they brag about and call 'good.'"

Russ Vought is Southern Baptist? Figures. This is the bizarro death-dealing world of white evangelicals. They send missionaries around the world to "save" people while supporting a regime whose cruel agenda kills those people.

Youth pastor sexually assaulted at least 5 minors. He worked at prominent Southern Baptist churches in Arkansas & Tennessee. Lawsuit says SBC leaders should have known he was a danger & could have stopped him. #ThisistheSBC #SBCtoo

About that video depicting the Obamas as apes... "The silence of SBC leaders in this moment proves there is, in fact, nothing Donald Trump can do to lose their support." - @markwingdallas.bsky.social
This is the Southern Baptist Convention. #ThisistheSBC

In Michigan, lawsuit says leaders at Southern Baptist church KNEW that youth pastor Zach Radcliff had been sexually abusing children, but they prioritized loyalty to the church over the safety of kids.
Now eleven kids allege abuse. #TheyKnew #ThisistheSBC #SBCtoo

The church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest Protestant faith group, which by the very fact of its size, lends faux-legitimacy to the extremism.
Long history: SBC was founded for the preservation of slavery & gave legitimacy to the Confederacy. #ThisistheSBC
And... the church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest Protestant faith group, which lends faux-legitimacy to the extremism.
It's a faith group that was founded for the preservation of slavery & that has a huge problem with clergy sex abuse. #ThisistheSBC
As someone born into it, this is alive and well within the religious establishment in neighborhoods all over the world. They enjoy the cushion of the confederacy. They really think they will rise again. And they are actively using their platform to advocate for hatred of others.
#ThisIsTheSBC
White evangelicals claim they're about sharing the love of Jesus, but many of us have seen up close what they really mean by that. And it dang sure ain't about "love."
#ThisistheSBC and more.
“I don’t care how much they scream. I don’t care how much they cry... I don’t care... I want MY country back... whatever it takes."
This is a leader within the Southern Baptist Convention. He's cheering on the violence. Never forget. They championed this. #ThisistheSBC
As Southern Baptist leaders defend the authority of ICE, it resurrects their predecessors "saying the same thing about the slave patrols that hunted down enslaved people who ran away from the legal institution of slavery." - @briankaylor.bsky.social

When empathy is sin, then "cruelty becomes a form of righteousness."

Lawsuit says Southern Baptist leaders...should have known that youth minister posed "a grave & foreseeable danger” to kids, that they "created a culture" that enabled sexual abuse, and that the lack of safeguards constituted "willful & wanton" negligence. #ThisistheSBC

ICYMI: In St. Paul, MN, the acting director of the ICE field office is also a pastor at a Southern Baptist church there. #ThisistheSBC

And... the acting director of the ICE field office, who is quoted in the article, is also a Southern Baptist pastor. #ThisistheSBC
A Southern Baptist church in St. Paul has a pastor who is also the acting director of an ICE field office. So... "ICE Out" protesters show up to flip the tables!

For decades, @tiffanythigpen.bsky.social carried the weight of what was done to her in a Southern Baptist church. "A charismatic preacher. A trusted pastor. And a pattern of abuse that powerful leaders chose to ignore." #TheyKnew #ThisistheSBC
