Sister Megan Rice of the Sisters of St. Francis of Penance and Christian Charity was reportedly found guilty of two felonies related to her breaking into a nuclear weapons production facility in Tennessee.
Sentencing for the Villanova and Boston College graduate is expected to take place later this week. Sister Megan could face up to thirty year in the joint. In the past, she's spent 6 months in jail for her "protests.
It seems that Sister, along with two other "activists" cut through the chain link fence, illegally entered the property, caused damage to the tune of over $1,000. And reportedly splashed human blood on the walls.Some little bit of good news is that she painted biblical messages on the walls of the building which holds 400 tons of highly enriched uranium.
In the pre-dawn hours of July 28, 2012, the three defendants hiked over a wooded ridge and were able to enter the site unimpeded because of a series of deficient security measures, including inoperable security cameras and an alarm system inundated by routine false alarms. The intrusion triggered a two-week shutdown of operations at Y-12 — a Department of Energy site that is overseen by the National Nuclear Security Administration and operated and managed by private contractors — and prompted four congressional hearings on nuclear security and a shake up in the U.S. nuclear security enterprise.Hilariously, the Washington Post wrote a piece on Sister Megan and her two co-defendants called "The Prophets of Oak Ridge." The New York Times called their story "A Nun's Bold Fervor."
And What/Who came down from heaven? The Word who become flesh. The Living Bread is The WORD.
"Jesus answered and said, It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matt 4:4
"The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the ONE and only Son, who came from the Father, full of Grace and TRUTH." John 1:14
I've been deployed with nukes stored below where I ate. A detachment of USMC would guard the entrance hatch with a fully loaded rifle. None of us were stupid enough to test their resolve. The protesters think the guards are strict? I've had a rifle pointed at me so many times I can't count. It was at least twice a week during Chow they held a security alert. That meant the Marines went jumping across tables and chairs on the mess decks.
Yes, the point I made is the church isn’t the building its the people. People need and are instructed to gather and worship God.
Someone who thinks they can sit at home by themselves as their sole source of worship are mistaken.
Sure I did, but you didn’t seem to read what I wrote which is fairly typical for you.
—This wasn’t a harmless protest
I quite agree
The scuttlebutt is that there was an insider who knew where the holes in the security were, and “Guided” the intruders through the system. I was in Y-12 about 1 mo. after the event, it was quite clear that they took it dead seriously.
The Intruders should have been shot on sight, by protocol
Go back and read the conversation.
Again, ‘church’ is not a building it is people.
hence my first comment to you
Yea no doubt there was an insider likely a former worker {Activist Mole}. They sure seemed to know what building to deface. The Oak Ridge Plants need to enforce the lethal force rule in cases where the fences are breached. That was the rule during the Manhattan Project and for years afterward.

Good story about three people with developed souls.
So no Catholic has ever died?
>>Admit it, you would have been beating feet too.<<
Not likely. It is I who understands that they were not literally eating physical flesh. The Jewish people (and Catholics) don’t understand that. It’s just that Catholics have been duped into believing it’s ok to eat human flesh.
Wow.
NYTIMES: “A Nun’s Bold Fervor.”
If I committed a felony would the NY times call it “bold fervor”?
Jesus replied, "You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.'
