You mean Christian churches are still allowed in Seattle?

We attend a mega Church, and I know there is a lot of stealth security that a lot of people don’t even notice or know about.

No armed security at my church, but my priest said “It’s time for war.”

Went to the church’s website and saw no mention of increased security.

Sounds like membership is down there. From 8000 down to 125 because of gay marriage. Could probably just pick up the phone and get right to the pastors.

I don’t expect you to respond as you normally don’t respond on post base upon your history.

But why didn’t you asked your church administration? It isn’t that hard to do is it?
Your church may have been the largest in the nation at something around 8,000 members
but what is it today? I bet some members are aware of the policy change.

I did notice quite a few new faces today. Same as after 9-11.

We have security in our church, but they are part of the congregation and not obvious.

Them plus the many who carry concealed...

I went to a church in Federal Way this morning. Everything was normal there.

Our church's security is primarily its Deacons and Ushers; almost all of are LTC and well trained. The pastor knows that we are seated with consideration of our fields of fire.

Don't yet know about our new pastor; the old one was armed even while in the pulpit...

No security at Mass, unless you count our several concealed carry members.

I live in central KY now. I’m sure lots of us are carrying in church. They can try it, but it won’t be pretty.

Well it is Seattle. Don’t hate me, I just left there 8 months ago to move to Michigan.
That’s a beautiful church. Maybe they hired some private security.

We go to a Southern Baptist Church; so I’m guessing that
several of the men, and maybe even a few women, were
armed. Everyone was relaxed and had a good time.

I attend a small country church and we authorized concealed carry a while ago. The bad guys would do well to stay away from conservative, rural, country churches.

All the churches I am familiar with have armed up.

Most do it quietly

But there are significant security teams out there.

At all events.

Nothing at mine. But then again I doubt terrorists have ever heard of Missouri, much less my county or city.

“They were dress in black uniforms with a white word ‘security’ on their backs”

That’s like painting a target on their backs. They will be the first ones to be taken out. They shouldn’t stand out.

And I would post sign on the church that this is NOT a gun free zone.

The church I occasionally visit in Houston - all the men in the church are armed. It’s a requirement. I pity the fool...
