Watch and see what happens when they go after Scientology.

99.999% sure islam will be labeled a “religion of peace.”
I’m not scared. Human frailty should always be exposed and humiliated, no where greater than with religion.
Imagine how much better off the Catholic Church would be, if in the 1960’s some Catholic Bishop had said: you know, there are a lot of homosexuals in our seminaries, and instead of trying to play down boy-rape, we are going to expose the perps and their enablers.”
Seems like George Soros has written another check.

As long as the “leaks” meet the following criteria:
* The source of the leak is credible and not someone with an agenda.
* The Leaks are TRUE and not made up.
* The Leaks are understood “in the context” by which the statements or actions are made.
"Perhaps the clearest statement concerning the threat we face today, and which all free people will always face, was expressed years ago by President Woodrow Wilson. He observed, 'The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of power, we are resisting the processes of death, because concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of human liberties.'Perhaps the dour faces on Democrat faces at the SOTU can be attributed to a sudden realization that the Trump Presidency has exposed their decades-long scam of "restrict(ing) the individual liberty of minorities in order to "'help them'"--all the while catering to teachers' union support, instead of improving the quality of education for minority youth and allowing school choice; and, by creating dependency upon government instead of wealth creation for the nation in order to provide jobs and prosperity for minority families.This astute comment can be aptly rephrased to include the concepts of poverty and prosperity, for concentration of governmental power and poverty go hand-in-hand, while human liberty and prosperity have always accompanied each other. Regardless of the sincerity of the intentions, to restrict freedom in the name of helping the poor is to engage in a destructive endeavor. The creative way to help the needy is to secure the freedom for individuals to pursue their interests voluntarily and peacefully. In such pursuit, free men will bring about an expanding economy, unlimited opportunity, and enduring prosperity." - Roger Ream, FEE Chairman
Interesting. Can you cite which of the teachings of Jesus led you to believing this?
I wonder what made Woodrow Wilson think the formation of the Federal Reserve and the passing of the 16th Amendment would result in limitations on governmental power.
It’s a shame he did not practice what he preached.
Matthew 6:1
Romans 10:3
Matthew 23 1-36 covers quite a lot also.
“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat; so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice.
Mathew 6:1 - “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of people, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.”
Nothing there about humiliating others by exposing their failings.
Romans 10:3 - “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.”
Nothing there instructing us to humiliate others by exposing their failings...
Matthew 23 1-36
I’m not going to post it in its entirety, but once again I do not see anything in this Chapter which instructs us to set about humiliating other people for their failings.
“There is no such thing as ‘privacy’, get over it”
Scott McNeeley, CEO Sun Microsystems, 1985
"They are sooo sued!"
The topic was about institutions, not individuals.
I recommend you read the article again.
“ A “service” that allows people to violate the privacy of church members and leaders could not only damage relationships and families, but it could potentially open the floodgates for lawsuits against churches. “
The implication that individual attacks will be made is certainly there.
Churches shouldn’t have anything to hide.
Would it be OK to call them “white-washed tombs” or “vipers”?
