See how they done things:


So church elders convened a meeting on May 10, 1777. James Mott, who was in charge of discipline, transcribed four propositions up for vote. He made the notes in a private journal, faded now but still legible.

Proposition one: Justifying the need to rise up “in defense of our rights and privileges both civil and religious against our cruel enemies.”

Proposition two: A censuring of those in the church who sympathized with the royal crown.

Proposition three: The excommunication of two congregants, and the calling of two other notable people — scions of Middletown — to “meet here to answer for their conduct.”

Proposition four: A warning to others against “talking so much against the present state and on behalf of the enemy.”

All were approved.

That would require people with principles, which we lack.

sounds like a fun bunch
