Me too. Nothing on Repent America's site either. You'd think that would be the first thing they'd do is post the good news. Nothing yet.

We can't find the same info anywhere else. The group that was arrested site is www.repentamerica.com and nothing is posted there yet.

Will ping you with update as soon as we can nail it down. Just taking with a grain of salt at this point. The article didn't mention the name of the judge who dropped the charges and the last bit was a repeat of info we already knew. 11 were arrested but charges were dropped for all but 4, we've known that for about a week.

Also...

It just hit me that the title of this should read

Christians arrested for witnessing at homosexual event aquitted.

They weren't there protesting.

We (the Philadelphia 4) had to show up in court on Wednesday jan. 5 to find out when our court date was scheduled for. I, and another of our group had to drive all the way from VA. Once we got there, the court tells us they haven'y set the date yet and we will have to come back next week. Philly is just jerking us around at this point. On Jan. 12, we will find out when the trial will be.
I'm keeping the latest updates posted on our site at: www.lifeandlibertyministries.com

The four are still facing charges and the implication in this article that all have been acquitted is not true.

Having the charges dropped is not the same as being acquitted You are correct, but this is better!! It says that there was no reason to arrest or charge them in the first place because the judge does not believe a crime was committed.

I'm not sure you can prove from this article that the judge dropped the charges against ALL of the defendants. In fact, I could make a case that it only verifies dropping charges against those at the Dec 16 tape viewing.

Have all charges against all defendants actually been dropped?

Yes but the court did not tell them anything, They told them to come back at a later date to find out a court date.

What's up with that? Something is not right with that.

Many more battles ahead. I fear we will lose some key ones, and hopefully win many key ones. That we won this small one--though quite large for those involved--is grounds for praising God.

Good question! I pinged 4lifeandliberty so maybe we can get some elaboration.

I think we need to draft a letter and start some freeping!

I hope they get very rich.

Very rich indeed.

AND, that they keep the money, too, not promise it to a charity of the day.

Let them keep the money and decide on who and when to donate.

What Philadelphia did shoud be made an example of.

Hmmm... that's interesting. So, where did the reporter from Christian Post get the news, then?
