Thanks to the kind services of the office of the Petitions Secretary, the censure petition on President Bush was dealt with and did not just disappear . . . though it did in reality once it was referred to the Judicial Administration Committee.
Like the petition re: Dr. Holsinger, the Bush petition was not supported by the sub-committee and then was rejected by the whole legislative committee.
Maybe the petition was treated as a political document, presumed to be put in by partisans who oppose his policies. Those kinds of petitions really have no place in General Conference.
Some feel the petition was prophetic, a proper challenge by conscientious Christians who see the violations of Christian faith and practice in the administration of this President.
You can kind of guess what I think.
How is the GC going to feel if after he leaves office, George Bush is found to have been guilty of war crimes against humanity, torture, and knowingly lying to his country and the world?
And we couldn't even have the guts to ask him to repent and go into counseling or drop out of the church!
