Daniel Keene did not expect a post on X to derail his life.
The small-business owner posted a video of an Indian block party taking over an entire street of his North Texas suburb and expressed his frustration at the rapid demographic and cultural changes sweeping through large swaths of the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
“We have to cancel the H-1Bs. I want my kids to grow up in America. Not India," he wrote in the since-deleted post.
The post went viral on X, and all hell broke loose. As previously reported by Blaze News, Keene and his family were subjected to doxxing and threats, his business was review-bombed, and someone claiming to have access to millions of Indian-American contacts apparently tried to extort him for $20,000.
Keene’s business, Boundaries Coffee, continues to weather the storm, and Google has shut down reviews for the business, putting a stop to the lies, threats, and insults that had flooded in.
The backlash was not contained to Keene’s professional life. In the midst of dealing with the attacks on his business, the owner of his gym decided to weigh in on the issue by revoking his membership.
Keene received a text from Ken Williams, the owner of CrossFit Prosper, telling him, “We feel your public stance doesn’t align with our core values of inclusivity and respect,” and “We’ll be ending your membership effective immediately,” according to a screenshot reviewed by Blaze News.
The text took Keene by surprise since Williams did not raise the issue when he visited the gym. “He didn’t say anything to me in person," Keene told Blaze News. "… Not even a peep of conflict.”
In canceling the membership, Williams explained that “a large part of our community is Indian and inclusivity is central to who we are, we can’t overlook how this impacts our members and staff, and the culture we work hard to protect,” the screenshot showed. CrossFit Prosper advertises itself as LGBTQ+-owned and LGBTQ+-friendly, according to its Google Maps profile.
The gym did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
Things continued to get worse when Keene’s church decided to interrogate him on his immigration stance. The elders at the Trails Church called him about his initial post, telling him to repent and that the post was “uncharitable.” Keene, who deleted the post shortly after it went viral due to the stress it was causing his family, did not disavow his position on immigration and the H-1B visa in particular.
He said that’s when problems with the church really escalated.
Keene and his wife — who was eight months pregnant at the time — were called in for a meeting with “all the elders and staff who could be there,” he recalled. This time, they weren’t just concerned about one post. “They just hammered me for ... hours,” he said.
The elders had apparently gone through the last three years of Keene’s X account, looking for problematic posts. Keene said they brought up two posts that they found “concerning.”
Keene described the meeting as confusing. “The goalposts got shifted significantly," he said.
Keene claimed he was unable to get a straight answer from the elders on the actual substance of his offense. “On one hand, they are saying that the issue is not the position itself; it’s how I expressed it," he said. "… But then we’ve had three hours of phone calls, and they’re just hammering me on the position itself."
Keene requested that the elders put his offenses in writing to eliminate uncertainty, but they refused, he said. Keene expressed his confusion to the elders about the nature of his supposed offense and what he was supposed to do about it.
He offered to post clarifying messages on X and talk to anyone at the church who had found his posts offensive. The elders apparently were not satisfied with an offer to clarify things.
According to Keene, they wanted him to apologize for his original post showing the Indian block party on his street and abandon his position on Indian immigration. While he respected their right to disagree with him, Keene told Blaze News he did not think apologizing for the post was appropriate.
“As far as the content, I stand behind it. That’s the policy position I stand behind.”
When asked how serious this offense was, the elders told Keene he was on “the path of discipline,” meaning he would be removed from membership if he continued on his present course, he explained. Keene described the removal process as a very serious step in a Baptist church.
They are “basically saying, ‘We don't think you’re a Christian any more because you haven't repented of a sin,'” he said.
Keene left the meeting still confused. Shortly after, a friend sent him an episode of "The King’s Hall" podcast discussing immigration and H-1B visas. Keene found the episode insightful and posted a clip of it along with the following questions: “What would get you in more trouble at your church? Significant doctrinal error on the Trinity? Or opposing immigration to the harm of your neighbor?”
Keen said he knew the post would "upset" the church elders. He did try to reach out privately at first just to say, "Hey, hear me out on this." After he posted the clip, the elders asked him to come in with his wife for another meeting, he claimed.
Keene said declined to bring his wife. “Why would you need to meet with my wife? What does my wife have to do with this?” he wondered.
When he went into the meeting, the elders formally asked Keene to leave the church. Keene suspected he would be asked to leave and that posting the podcast clip almost guaranteed it. “I knew I was poking the bear a little bit,” he acknowledged.
Still, Keene said he does not regret posting the clip or maintaining his position on immigration. “I’ve been trying to draw out what the real issue is here," he said. "… What are the values of your church? Are they doctrinal? Scriptural? Or is it public policy with regard to immigration?”
The Trails Church did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

This Indian takeover and their intimidation of whites is happening all over the country.
If I wanted to live around a bunch of Indians I’d move to India (and no one wants to move to India).
The Church Edlers gave as cause
“The elders at the Trails Church called him about his initial post, telling him to repent and that the post was “uncharitable.” “
Without further clarification that is scripturally not defensible, they need to be specific as to what the sin is. If his description of their issue is accurate it sounds like they are injecting their will over scripture, it is not difficult to call out sin with scripture. Very poor doctrine and possibly false doctrine if that is the only thing they can bring against him.
I would run from that church and find one filled with the Holy Spirit.
It’s SBC? Lovely. They’re worried about this but are OK with LGB+++ crap?
This is what happens when you import millions of Dalits.
It will be interesting to see when the Mooselimbs and Untouchables are forced to live in the same town. Those groups came to America to flee their shithole country, only to bring the shit to America.
That’s how the caste system works. We are being colonized by a Asia. The H-1B visa is a threat to our way of life.
Sharia vs Caste system.
Check out all the money Big Religion has gotten from Fedzilla over the decades.
And last I knew, ebery Cabinet department STILL has people tasked with finding ways to send taxpayer money to compliant churches.
We’re talking billions of taxpayer money over the years.
Big Religion serves Deep State and mammon, not God.
“””The Trails Church cooperates with 47,000 other churches within the context of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Mainly this cooperation is for missions, church planting, and theological education. As a Baptist church, we are an independent church that associates with other churches for kingdom causes.””””

Keene is a lot more patient and tolerant than I am. The church would have asked me to come in. I would have told them my post is nunya. If they pressed one nanometer further, I’d have told them to get stuffed and I’d never have returned.
That’s not a church, it’s the usual “horray for everything” crap and that is NOT Biblical.
-SB
I’m kind of anticipating a similar conversation at the church I attend regarding some positions we’ve taken.
Notice I didn’t say “my church?” The only reason we stick around is that we work with a ministry that meets at the church and they’ll shut it down if we leave.
We’re actively searching for a new home.
“Church”
You can lift 12 oz. weights with one Baptist. But not two.
It's very traditional here in rural NW Tennessee. I have to drive 30 miles to visit anything resembling a city, but after 3 years I've come to find cities repulsive.
Note to self - do NOT, under any circumstances, do business with Crossfit Prosper, whatever that is.
Trails church?? What demonization is that?
Anyway, I’d say goodbye to that church. Happy Trails to you....
I wonder what their wives’ boyfriends think of all this kerfuffle ...
As for Mr. Keene ... There’s no good reason for him to let these cucks “hammer [him] for ... hours”. Leave and take your $$$ with you ...
