To: Psalm 73
they were told to expect to go to jail in the near-future

Old Roger has gotten much more canny since he tangled with Saint Paul. Few pastors are going to go to jail. But plenty of pastors and church employees are going to be stripped of their livelihoods, pensions and children's college funds, plenty of missionaries and hospitals are going to lose their financial support, plenty of grand old church buildings are going to be sold at auction and plenty of hopes, dreams and futures are going to be sacrificed on the altar of butt-sex.

A martyr's cell would be preferable to the financial and social ruin that is going to be visited on our pastors and priests.

"Old Roger has gotten much more canny since he tangled with Saint Paul."

Which is why we are focusing on "home churches" - getting people used to meeting in homes instead of churches - prep. for coming persecution.

South Vietnamese pastors had thier congregations read "Tortured for Christ" by R. Wurmbrandt (founder of VOM) in preparation of takeover by the communists (Jane Fonda and Ted Kennedy's Red friends).
