Media Silent as Fresno California / Tower Theatre / Adventure Churcg rapidly becoming Ground Zero in the “War on God”?
Calling all freelance media to help shine the proverbial light on this darkness.
Factual Background:
Adventure Church has been operating on a week to week lease of Tower Theatre and has rapidly become a “thorn in the flesh” to the city of Fresno and surrounding businesses that aggressively caters to an Anti God Agenda and is taking action to undermine a legally binding contract that would ensure Adventure Church a permanent “home” in Fresno.
How:
City of Fresno, CA is seeking to inject itself to a private transaction with false claims of “zoning issues” and “historical preservation” when the truth of the matter is the church appears to be too “effective” in shedding some light on darkness and the only way to stop the “little light” from getting even brighter is to “remove it from the dark area”.
You can try to “pour more darkness” onto light but that only makes the light MORE effective.
What say you?
Is it true that members of the public who attended a public meeting were forced to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) ?
Or was that just those members of the City Council who attended a closed session meeting to discuss spending taxpayer funds to inject itself into a private real estate transaction??
So many questions to play out this week. Look for all “evil” to surface in protesting Adventure Church this Sunday as word travels about this transaction.
More to follow.
Granted that Tower Theatre is a historical landmark. Will selling the property to a brewery that will evict Adventure Church be a wise expenditure of taxpayer money when at the end of the day will almost assuredly lose ?
Some enlightenment to the readers here:

What is not clear from either of the two articles is why the contracted deal by the theater owners, with the church, was not yet a done deal.
To me this a blatant abuse of eminent domain and worse because there is obvious political motivations simply to prevent an already contracted buyer from completing their purchase, becuase the elected politicians that voted to take the eminent domain step simply don’t like that buyer.
The church needs support to take their case all the way to SCOTUS.
My guess is that the sale was in escrow and the seller got a “better deal” from city using taxpayer guaranteed funds and full legal indemnification so the seller is at zero risk to hold out for sale that is well above market value and no liability.
Sequoia Brewery has nothing to lose
I concur. If we ALL don’t shine light on this darkness it will be precedent setting that political acts with taxpayer money will be able to use this case to boot every church from locations that they are not wanted. Too much “light” in their darkness.

Bump
Do you have any update on this matter to share?
I do not. I was hoping that bumping the article would give it more exposure.
Yeah, I initially posted it in “Breaking” as this is in my opinion a landmark case that is going to impact churches all across America. If the local government does not wish for YOUR church to exist it will simply use taxpayer funds to make you go away
Sad fact...
Yes, in years past FR would not have removed this post from “Breaking” in fact FReepers worldwide would expose this darkness early and actually require the “media” to talk about it.
I digress, It will be interesting to look back at this thread and see how many people wonder why it was pulled from the sidebar.
Did you see my recent post on the thread. I still think this legal battle is just as significant if not more so for the long term than the “leaked SCOTUS” draft opinion. My guess is that one or more justice will have a change of heart or an unfortunate accident if they don’t change their opinion before this draft becomes final published opinion. Keeping it close hold at this point is just irresponsible in my view.
I feel the same way about this “secret deal” to use taxpayer funded legal protection to go against a church. Wow just wow
Ping.
