Regarding the church directory...

A member of our church that has military background pointed out that we are in a spiritual battle....
so our membership documents should be treated the same way as documents detailing troop strength, etc.

The next edition was sent out with a note attached that it is for members only.

Hint to the gays.
Why don’t you get one of your fabulous friends to bake the cake and leave this guy alone?

They are actively pushing from the inside of the churches, and will soon start with legal pressure from the outside. It will probably be a political issue within the next five years: can the government force churches to perform homo ceremonies, or can the state simply take the “power vested” away from the churches? It’s coming.

You're much more optimistic than I am.

Personally, I think most churches in the United States of America will capitulate long before they ever have to deal with this kind of nonsense from a "civil rights commission."

This won't help him.

The Leftist groups are next going to order a regular cake from this baker and demand he add icing text celebrating a homosexual marriage or some other same-sex event. Then he will have to stop icing text for all customers. Adios birthday cake customers.

Next, if he does deliveries, they will demand he deliver to a gay bath house or gay nudist camp. Adios all delivery customers.

His thought-criminal status will end only when he enthusiastically "celebrates" homosexuality. Mere acceptance will not do.

When are they going to force churches to marry gays?

Soon, that's for sure. Then they'll start working on forcing teenagers and other singles to date gays 50% of the time.

He did not refuse to serve anyone. He refused to enter into a contract with certain parties.

The second box, the ballot box doesn’t work for these things, as the authorities aren’t elected.

We have arrived at the third box, the cartridge box. As of now, our side is reluctant to open it.


Their side opened that box years ago, here is a partial list:

In 1865, John Wilkes Booth, a member of the Democrat Party which supported the continuation of slavery, shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.

On June 28, 1914, Gavrilo Princip, the leftwing Serb national assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, touching off WWI.

On Sept. 14, 1901 President McKinley (R) was murdered by a Leftist. He was Anarcho-communist lunatic named Leon Czolgosz in Buffalo, NY.

In November 22, 1963 a radical left wing communist, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.

In September 22, 1975, a left wing radical Democrat, Sara Jane Moore, fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States in an act of mental illness.

On March 30, 1981, a registered Democrat John Warnock Hinckley Jr. shot and wounded Ronald Reagan.

On July 18, 1984, James Huberty a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 22 people in a McDonald’s restaurant.

In 1986 Patrick Sherril a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.

In 1990 James Pough a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.

In 1991 George Hennard a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 23 people in a Lubys cafeteria.

In 1995 James Daniel Simpson a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.

In 1999 Larry Asbrook a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 8 people at a church service.

In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.

In 2003 Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant.

In 2007, a registered Democrat named Seung - Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.

On June 10, 2009, James Wenneker von Brunn, A registered Democrat from Maryland and a Holocaust Denier, shot and killed security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns at, ironically, the Holocaust Museum.

On March 4, 2010, John Patrick Bedell two security guards at a Pentagon-area Metro station in D.C. As Patterico reports, he hated Bush and littered the Internet with 9/11 Truther rants.

February 15, 2010 Amy Bishop, deranged Harvard trained biologist, murdered three colleagues and possibly her own brother. She was described by family members as ‘a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting.

In 2011 a mentally ill named Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The pot smoking Loughner killed 6 and wounded 18 in another liberal shooting tragedy.

In July 2012 a registered Democrat and former member of the “Black Bloc” faction of the Occupy movement, named James Holmes went into a Colorado movie theater and shot and killed 12 people. 70 others were wounded.

In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger a disgruntled Democrat shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.

On August 15, 2012, Floyd Lee Corkins, a former volunteer with gay advocacy group “The DC Center for the LGBT Community,” tried to kill a security guard at the Washington headquarters of a Christian conservative organization the Family Research Council.

On 9/16/2013, another mentally ill liberal, Aaron Alexis, killed 12 innocents at the Navy Yard in Washington DC.

12/14/2013 Karl Pierson entered Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Co. armed with a shotgun with intent to kill one of his teachers. He shot Claire Davis, a senior, @Arapahoe High in the head. Yes, Pierson is/was another mentally ill liberal punk. He killed himself when an armed school officer ran towards him.

There has never been a right-wing assassination attempt on a president or a member of Congress.

This just in: The Civil Rights Commission has banned half-moon cookies. They must be replaced by full-moon cookies with rainbow icing.

“A member of our church that has military background pointed out that we are in a spiritual battle....
so our membership documents should be treated the same way as documents detailing troop strength, etc.”

Very good point.

We started sending out the church directly to church members only with the following process: 1) sending an email to the church member which includes a link; 2) the church member goes to the link; 3) the link verifies them; 4) the church member can download a copy of the church directory (to computer, iphone, whatever and the church member can them print their own hardcopy if they want)

We have a special software program that takes a document roster then automatically performs the actions above that creates the web pieces, emails, verification, etc. Real nice stuff.

Anyway, this seems to be a good way to handle what you described.

I think the courts were very lenient on this man: they should have - at the very least - hung a handwritten cardboard sign around his neck with twine that read, “HATER,” and made him stand in the village square while people threw vegetables at him from sun up to sundown seven days a week for a month.

I believe that’s the sort of sentence these regimes typically impose for a first offense. Second offense - he goes to prison/re-education, and we know what will happen there.

[sarcasm off/]

I’ve always maintained that the problem is not what these people want to do with their precious genitals, but the exceptionally vicious form of narcissism that seethes at the core of their being.

This also applies to inflamed a-holes.
