That's what I was thinking. How does a ward that is "falling apart" differ from one that isn't? Or, put another way, what does a ward that is "falling apart" look like?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"
