The Pentagon has released a statement confirming that soldiers could be prosecuted for promoting their faith: "Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense...Court martials and non-judicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis...”.
The statement, released to Fox News, follows a Breitbart News report on Obama administration Pentagon appointees meeting with anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein to develop court-martial procedures to punish Christians in the military who express or share their faith.
(From our earlier report: Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and says Christians--including chaplains--sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ in the military are guilty of “treason,” and of committing an act of “spiritual rape” as serious a crime as “sexual assault.” He also asserted that Christians sharing their faith in the military are “enemies of the Constitution.”)
Being convicted in a court martial means that a soldier has committed a crime under federal military law. Punishment for a court martial can include imprisonment and being dishonorably discharged from the military.

My mom told me in 1987 or so that at some point the US Government would persecute Christians. I was about 13 or 14 and thought she was off her rocker. She said “No, it is written, the WORLD will persecute Christians, America will not be an exception if the Bible says THE WORLD!” I was like, “Yeah, right Mom” (as I did most things, but this one stuck with me and my teenager attitudey self)
She died in 2002, but she did not live to see her theory was correct.
Since last night others (first) then myself (joined later) have been fighting with a ‘conservative’ on another thread that is saying homo adoption is a good alternative to no adoption/staying in foster care.
He’s still at it. On FR.
Can they just turn around? A 180 or something.
*snicker*
I think they know me by now LOL.
I;m so sick and tired of fighting other conservatives and then fighting our own party.
Sometimes I feel like giving up but something tells me to keep fighting
Thanks!
send me the link pal if you want.
I was in foster homes and homosexual adoption is not good for any kid.
I’m told I need to get a life because I use Netflix to filter out homosexuality etc and I watch family movies with the kids sometimes.
AAARRGGHHHH LOL.
Amen. 1 week. barry knows it’s time is up, which is why it stated “maybe I should pack my bags and go home”.
That was VERY telling.
Kind of like Klinger (sic?) in Mash?
The same as with everyone else.
"Witnessing" (proclaiming Jesus to others) is a religious observance for every Christian denomination I know of, except for perhaps "The Primitive Baptist Church".
It is ILLEGAL for any governmental group to demand that a religious group NOT follow their religion's religious observances.
It was said best by Pope John Paul II: "No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all people."
The Pope, of course, got that from Jesus, who in Mark 16 said: "15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation"
There can be NO DOUBT: "proclaiming Jesus" is MORE a religious observance for Christians than is most anything else in our Christian faith.
Telling Christians NOT to proclaim is no different than telling Christians that they are not permitted to practice their religion.
Did you see ‘Frontline’ last night? On a PBS station in southern CA, anyway.
About all the ‘secret’ buildings around.
‘Top Secret America.’
CIA and NSA.
Thanks for correcto on Imams - I couldn't be sure, M or N, one way or the other!
Only takes 10-12 Muslims to screw everything up.
Look at the pos on trial right now for shooting and killing at a base.
They, muslim extremists cannot be reckoned with. There will be no peace with Islamists. They do not want peace.
Thank you, xzins, for the response and including me in the ping. Thank you as well, for quoting Pope John Paul II!
Catholic ping!
So you have this and the non-promotion of high ranking officers who would be unwilling to order troops to fire on U.S. civilians.
Seems the plan to get a military that follows orders without question, not matter the legality of the order, is progressing nicely.
‘They do not want peace.’
Islam’s definition of ‘peace’ is that when Islam rules the world, there will then be peace - - -
Put a Catholic priest in prison for giving Last Rites to a wounded soldier...yeah, commander zero would like that.
Very unsettling. Very creepy.
