“Seriously in tears! Good work Watson and everyone who spoke up!” said Ryan Wayman in a comment on her page.
Burn the witch, burn the witch!
Extremely difficult and extremely expensive. The legal fees alone to set it up and avoid any number of issues, not the least of which is the SEC and the IRS, would be astronomical.
The actual setting up of the site is simple, cheap, and about 5% of the process.
I was questioning gofundme’s ethics
These fine people were Targeted specifically ..due to their Christian Faith!
Pray the Supreme Court does the right thing this week.
This is what the Nazis did to the Jews. Force their businesses to close, put them out of business, fire them from their jobs, make it so they can’t support their families. All under the appropriate set of laws to make it seem legal.
Then they passed laws to make the Jews themselves illegal, which allowed for the imprisonment and death of “undesirables.”
Welcome to “post-Christian” America.
Well God still says.
Romans 1:..
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
Note also that Romans 1:32 points out that those who approve of such conduct are just as guilty as those who engage in it.
Lev 18:22 “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination....
25‘For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants.”

Is there any legal way for the Kleins to sue the owner of Cupcakes for emotional distress, as well as every other anti-Christian bigot who harassed them and their customers? We need to start turning the tables on them, both through the legal system and the political system. Another good place to focus would be on college campuses. Have our young Conservatives, start protesting for the colleges to recognize their positions. Religious students must feel”unsafe” or “offended” by college policies designed to shut them up.
Actually, there are other bakeries that will provide the service, but which will also benefit financially from having a competitor driven out of business.
I have a hard time believing that “Cupcake Jones” was motivated more by a sense of humanistic altruism than pragmatic business ruthlessness in going after these Christians.
As a general rule rank and file customers won’t patronize a business that is involved in any sort of controversy. Its just not worth the hassle. Staging (legally, with proper permits, etc) a 10-12 person picket line in front of “Cupcake Jones” calling them out for what they’ve done might be a good response.
“Anti-Christian bigots welcome here!”
would be a good sign for “Jones”.
The Nazi/Jews analogy is interesting on several different levels.
A good number of senior Nazis were just craven opportunists rather than true believers. Hermann Goering falls, to some extent anyways, into this category. He had his own massive operation, more like an industry, built up around the anti-Jew laws to buy, for a small fraction of the actual value (otherwise known as legized theft), property and possessions from Jews who were forced to sell. He kept the stuff he wanted, sold or rented the rest out for good profit.
I really do believe thats a big part of the dynamic at work here with Cupcake Jones’ owners leading the effort.
You know, I wouldn’t play up the Christian/anti-Christian angle here. This is Oregon, Cupcake Jones could see a rallying effect.
Keeping it to something along the lines of Opportunistic Facists works better, imho.
Thanks for the link.
I agree, the owner of Cupcake Jones was the one who pulled the trigger regarding GoFundMe’s shutting down the fundraiser, and CJ’s owner Lisa Watson has several bakeries in the community adjacent to the business she attacked via siccing the faggot mafia on Sweet Cakes in order to shut them down and drive them out of business. Just another version of government-favored subsects of society using the law to achieve their otherwise unachievable and illegal outcome.
Lisa Watson needs some attention and I hope she gets it, too.
[[Maybe GoFundMe should be sued out of existence for DISCRIMINATION!!]]
Won’t happen, they will simply claim they have legal obligations that they followed when they cancelled the account- they claim that the account violated the TOS
[[“Christian ‘witch’ hunt”, right?]]
And if the GOP and conservatives and Christians had any backbone, we’d be screaming ‘Chrsitain witch hunt’ like the left does- WE would be SHAMING the left for their blatant bigotry and hatred- and those folks would never gain a foothold- yet because we’ve been practically silent on the issue, they have not only gained a toehold, they are about to crest the summit- Pastors and priests, and whatever other denomination cares to join, should be banding together, making a loud unmistakable ruckus, and declaring discrimination and informing the public that there is a modern day witch hunt going on and Christians ARE the targets-
this case is being appealed, and IF there is any justice, a judge will rule that sweet cakes is due a couple of million dollars for being unfairly discriminated against- IF this were to happen- this whole freakin nonsense by the gaystapo will cease as they will be too afraid that their hatred will result in backfiring I n the future too-
But I guess it’s too much to hope for justice to be done
At the rate things are going, it won’t be long before anybody with a FaceBook, LinkedIn or any type of social media page/Business website will be targeted for their beliefs.
I’m convinced of it!
