I agree too, they have a right to keep "filth" away from their community and exercise their 1st amendment rights too-- but, when they "judge" others by appearences-- not content of character-- then they are hyprocratically sinning themselves. From a military strategic point of view-- they are attacking only 1 store out of 30?-- in an attempt to get it closed ---- if they were really serious about their "war" or mission to "trample out" this sin-- they'd be setting up outside EVERY LION'S DEN.... thus really putting "the hurt" on this company-- maybe then, the owner's of the store would agree to close the- 1 offending store ( in Uniontown ) But then, these religious group would be "morally" obligated to stay until ALL the stores were ran out of all the towns of Ohio. But isn't that what these "righteous" concerned citizens are already "morally obligated" to do anyway? And how about the METH LABS? this group spends 24/7 time outside this legal porn shop-- photographing customers--- couldn't they spend a little time "rooting" out the real-- cancer and danger in their community-- the drug manufacture/trade that is killing the people of the community. But, then again--- photographing criminals-- is a lot more dangerous.

Could it possibly be that they are letting law enforcement handle the meth labs? Or maybe they are involved in some manner that you are unaware of?
And how come it is that you want to come across as some bible expert when you have never broached the subject until now? Seems kind of hypocritical coming from someone who never lets pass an opportunity to interject a little sexual innuendo (see post about paper clip above) whenever the chance occurs? If you are such an expert about the bible you would know that it is mentioned in many places that the devil himself quotes scripture (out of context of course) if it suits his needs and the passage you referred to is at the top of the list. You don't even live in this community and yet you yourself are willing to pass judgment just based on a couple of small signs.

You are the one who stated--"don't use the bible when you don't have a clue what you are talking about."

I don't really take an Issue with the 1st part of their --- Tactics to Shame, Embarrass people into not entering the Business. It's the threatening, coercing--- that's where I start to take issue- then, if that didn't work--- well, it would be "Christian" to "turn the other cheek"-- but, crossing their line is like a slap in their face-- so, then they are planning on sending pictures and contacting your employer-- not EVERYONE's employer who visits the shop-- because that would involve a lot of researching LICENSE TAG #'S-- the truckers are sooo much easier to target. And this is in no way--- constructive or Christian-- Revenge and Retaliation are not Christian activities. This is why, when this group of 30? concerned citizens approached a couple of their local Churches-- the Churches wanted no part of it. I was told they started out-- just handing out "Bibles" and asking patrons to not go in-- now, three years later many have been arrested for assaulting customers--- can't blame them there as many of the photos show-- very bad behavior on the part of the "sinners"- everything from "the Bird" to "mooning". Just a FREAK SHOW! as far as not getting involved with stomping out the METH LABS--- have you ever heard of "neighborhood policing" or neighborhood watch? the police can't do it alone-- but with one officer always assigned to be down there at the PORN STORE to keep that from getting "out of hand". It's works out to be a distraction from busting the drug cookers.

I also defend everyones right to free speech...but those "Christians" are trying to intimidate people and manipulate the facts. Intimidation, Manipulation and Domination - those are the three sins of WITCHCRAFT. I don't believe that Christians should act like that. I am a mother and I feel horrified for the family that lost their daughter and nobody deserves to die like that. But Christians making azzes out of themselves is only detrimental to their cause...it's the same actions that offended me as a child, too. There are so many judgemental and bullying Christians...and not enough good examples. I know many good Christians - who would never act like that. I mean, why not set up a prayer front and and ask for the Holy Spirit to rain down so that whoever crosses their "line" might be touched by something supernatural...that might change their heart. All the intimidation and anger does is further separate people from GOD.

When so called Christians do stuff like that they are wrong cause we all know they like to look at porn too but won't admit it. It's like them saying that sex is evil and wrong but yet they do it too just like everyone else. :roll:

Women and children sitting along side a freeway off ramp to protest a "Porn" shop, and none of them realize that they themselves are denegrated more by that simple action, than are the people whom chose to enter the business. Buy em out, shut it down...build a church..or a rest stop. Zealots..the entire bunch.

Yeah, I was thinking--- Eminent domain laws like New Jersey.
Just take it-- pay them a fair market price( which I'm sure has gone down because of the nature of a SOB on site.) Then build a public.... something or I guess like New Jersey-- let a private developer -- re-develop the area... (but now there's another legal issue that I don't agree with). Course, it's not like they are dealing with anyone's personal HOME. |
