Was a male but identified as a female.... so they say.

I’ve been watching Joel Osteen’s sermons with quite some regularity. I also attended one of his sermons in person, since I live in Houston (Lakewood Church is way on the other side of town, though, and it is a monster commute). To my knowledge, Joel Osteen has never made any critical remarks towards transgender people; and knowing Osteen, being the kind Christian that he is, I doubt he ever would ever say anything hurtful towards trans individuals. On the contrary, he would probably say they are welcome to attend his services at Lakewood.

The shooter had “Free Palestine” inscribed on her gun. Until the she fesses up and describes her exact motive, we can’t be certain of what it was, but I suspect it has something to do with Osteen’s friendly attitude toward Israel. Or maybe she thought Christians in general are pro-Israel and wanted to kill as many as possible. That seems more likely to be her motive than anger towards Osteen’s nonexistent transphobia.

From what they said the shooter was killed.

And ues, they were saying or suggesting anti-semite remarks.

You believe the shooter was motivated by anti-Semitism and wanted to kill as many perceived Christians Zionists as possible (which seems to be the most plausible explanation based on the evidence so far), so why make a thread about her trans identity? Isn’t that irrelevant? How does it relate to the violent crime she committed?

Well, the news first said that but did not specifically say it was a trans thing.

They said it was a male that identified as a female and had other issues with the cops and many names both male and female.

They did not say Trans... just that it was a male. How do they know???????? I guess
the ambulance might have discovered?

Then they said

She also allegedly had a 7 year old child... I believe a boy with her for some purpose. Perhaps as a hostage or maybe to present normalcy? And the child is fighting for his life after being hit in the head with a bullet. They did not say who shot the child.

And then they said the anti semite suggestion.... a little while later. As if it ws info they were just receiving.

Perhaps as you are from there you will have more accurate news.

Now why would I suggest the trans end? I did not. The news brought it up first.

Personally I feel that anyone who thinks they are not what they are born as is a little mentally unbalanced and the more it becomes the norm the more these things may happen....

You just don't hear many females doing mass shootings, or trying to.

Now If what my news said is wrong and you hear differently please let us know.

I have never been to Joel Olsteens church.. but have heard him on TV... I have been to John Hagee's in San Antonio.

Bowing down to them and using their preferred pronouns pleases them but offends God.

One should please the Lord and address them by the gender the Lord crated them with, even if that offends them.

Or one could call them "it" or "yo"when addressing them glasses.gif
