City: You Can't Sell Blueberries Unless You Affirm Gay Marriage
The Papua New Guinea Post-Courier ^ | June 1, 2017 | Fox News

The Tennes family has been farming in Michigan for generations.

They grow all sorts of crops at the Country Mill Farm – organic apples, blueberries, pumpkins, sweet corn.

And for the past seven years, Steve Tennes and his family have sold their produce at the farmer’s market owned by the city of East Lansing.

But this year – city officials told the devout Catholic family that their blueberries and sweet corn were not welcome at the farmer’s market – and neither were they.

Last year, someone posted a message on Country Mill’s Facebook page inquiring about whether they hosted same-sex weddings at the farm.

Tennes told the individual they did not permit same-sex marriages on the farm because of the family’s Catholic belief that marriage is a sacramental union between one man and one woman....

Clearly unconstitutional.

They should removed the question and ignored it. Business is business and save the political and social commentary for sites like FR. Don’t let it become an issue. Some pervert couple comes along, simply say we’ll get back to you or ignore the request. Why make an issue of it and make yourself a target?

If city can require oath, maybe business can likewise ask for oath to reject Sharia, endorse Christianity. Isn’t that basically what the city is doing? Endorse their PC fascism or no business?

Weird. So it very well could become the precursor to the mark of the beast? When the gay agenda push first started ramping into high gear I thought maybe the abomination standing in Holy place might signify those weddings taking place in God’s churches. It makes sense, as He does call it out as one of the abominations in His eyes and it makes desolate because it can bear no fruit. Like a barren womb.

Not judging, so hope nobody takes it personally.

I wonder if the mark of the beast will be rainbow 6s.

I just thought the same thing reading this. Not as in depth as you did.

However the mark of the beast will allow no one to buy or sell without it. I assume this means every one on Earth and it’s unlikely that any muslim country would ever go for that.

Why fight it? Thank God someone is willing to stand for freedom and religious liberty. Although the price may be high, the rest of owe our support to those who choose to fight.

Frankly, it’s people who refused to take a stand who allowed the left to take control of so many institutions in the first place. The left uses deception, intimidation, and fear, because their causes are still not nearly so popular as they think.

They are intolerant because they must keep the silent majorities who oppose much of what the left proposes...well...silent. They are not speaking from a position of true popularity and power or they wouldn’t care about a single farm that chooses to fight back. But if that farm wins! Then others might rally and dare stand up. THAT must not be allowed.

Yes. Secular morals.

This is why its important who wins political power. Laws are based on morality. Now whose morality do you want the laws tobe based on? All stripes of Perverts, atheists, muslims, socialists, and faceless monopolistic oligarch corporations little sock puppets? Or patriots and God-fearing Christians?

Because all those other groups don’t give two squats about patriots and Christians.

We will answer to God for such chances to stand for righteousness. I have been a coward more than once (two times business-related) and do not recommend disappointing God just to please the world; the feeling of shame isn’t worth it. Praise be to God for his mercy!

Each day, it seems, the spirit of antichrist uses its operatives to move the clock a bit more towards the arrival of THE Antichrist.

They. Just. Never. Let. Up.

Remember Lot’s wife.

No, the abomination that causes desolation is in reference to an event that happens at the Third Temple (yes, it is coming, BION).

But this is definitely spirit of antichrist. I’m find myself with less concern about folks pushing full-bore down these roads. I hope they enjoy the world they’re gonna get. Because they ain’t gonna like it when Christ picks up His glittering sword.

Of course liberals tell you that’s not going to happen. It most assuredly is.

I just can’t believe the madness that seems to be sweeping the world, and nearly all of it originates in the liberal mindset.

Another story where our response is obvious: there needs to be massive public support, right in his town, from every church, every Christian. In this case hold wall to wall signs at that farmers market, while simultaneously having a very long line of supporters lined up wherever he situates himself to buy his produce.

Same with every case like this where the perverted Progressives are pushed back by massive outcry, at the homes of the judges, on the streets, at the police departments, whoever is denying our rights. We need to support those under attack as our brothers-in-arms, financially, emotionally, politically.

But as a lonely prolifer, I know that CONVENIENCE rules the hearts of man, and very few, very, very few, can set CONVENIENCE aside to stand in the public square for a moral reason.

Maybe if they offered to sell sex lube at the farmers market, the city would let them back in?
