SEPTEMBER 8--The Florida pastor who is planning to burn a pile of Korans this weekend runs a church that has established a variety of cult-like rules for individuals studying to become ministers, according to the group’s “rulebook.”
The Dove World Outreach Center (DWOC), headed by Islam-hating Rev. Terry Jones, has been widely denounced for its September 11 bonfire plans. The tiny Gainesville church is headed by Jones and his wife Sylvia, a co-pastor.
The DWOC’s “Academy Rulebook,” a copy of which you’ll find here, was created in November 2007 by Sylvia Jones. The document, which details the standards to which a prospective DWOC minister must adhere, addresses topics such as behavior, study, and communication. It is also filled with the kind of creepy directions that are often associated with cults.
For instance, students are directed to cut off most contact with family members. “Family occasions like wedding, funerals or Birthdays are no exception to this rule,” the rulebook notes. “No phone calls. Exceptions can be made under certain circumstances but only after receiving permission.”
The Joneses also barred “Singles” from having “romantic relationships to the opposite sex…

You must be an NYU lawyer. The are the only species who can blame a pastor in Florida for murders committed in 3rd world countries by retrograde 7th century terrorists. Liberalism is a dangerous mental disorder.
Based on what little I read of the manual, it looks very familiar. It contains the same rules that resulted in Jonestown.
From now on any death of a soldier who is killed by an Islamist, will be blamed on the “religious right”.
The reduction in forces, and the idiotic rules of engagement, will get a free pass.
The Internet didn’t exist in 1968.
“How will burning the Koran cause ANYONE to convert to Christianity?”
Evangelism is but the tip of the duties of the Christian.
Confronting heresy is, and islam is the greatest Christian heresy that ever existed. (And yes, islam sprang, in no small part from Christian heretics and gnostics.)
It's an international event.
And now for something completely different...
Merkel to honor Mohammed cartoonist at press award

“German Chancellor Angela Merkel risked angering Muslims by speaking at an awards ceremony on Wednesday for a Dane whose cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed provoked sometimes violent protests by Muslims five years ago. The 75-year-old cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, whose drawings of Mohammed that offended Muslims worldwide first appeared in Danish paper Jyllands-Posten in 2005, was due to receive a prize on Wednesday evening at a conference on freedom of the press...”
I am concerned that a public official, speaking supposedly in an official capacity, has an opinion about whether an American citizen should, or should not, burn the democrat party donkey in effigy (opps, I mean a Koran).
The smoking gun does not just leak “present day” documents, does it?
And the years are not tied to specific “events”, it is the antiwar movements in total.
The Communist Party USA also protested against going to war against Nazi Germany. That is until Hitler betrayed their beloved Stalin.
The point the pointy headed leftists and so called “progressives” seem congenitally unable to process is that the Reverend has committed no crime while Islam is a global criminal organization who has murdered 14 people in America since 9/11 AND THEY REMAIN SILENT IN CONDEMNATION OF THEM YET take the first and every opportunity to air out their closeted and virulent anti-Christian bigotry in a unified frenzy. It is sick out there and getting sicker.
It is EASY to understand.
Ready?
Satan.
Yep, that is it. The end.
I am not being trite. No quip here. Satan.
A real entity, pardon the pun, Hell Bent on beating the Lord God at this game called life on Earth.
The very end game play is that a descendant of King David would rule the Earth as the redeemer of mankind and that the Jews would crown him as such.
The Jews wait for him now, and the Christians believe he came once and will be right back.
The Muslims have a very different take on who they are waiting for, most Christians believe that person will be the AntiChrist.
So, Satan needs only to do two things in “win”. Make sure there are NO Jews from which this king can either COME or BE CROWNED BY.
No Jews: No King: No PROBLEM.
Thus, anyone and everyone who is NOT supporting THAT event. Waiting for or working for that King, is the enemy.
No other political or religious distractions are actually involved.
If you do not SERVE God/Christ, then you ARE serving Satan or at best, simply in the way.
Thus, the liberal Jew, the secular Jew is neither believing in Christ or waiting FOR “A Christ”. Nor is the Muslim, the Atheist, the Secularist, the Humanist, the Buddhist or the ignorant.
THIS is exactly and simply WHY “politics makes for such strange bedfellows”. They are ALL sleeping with the Devil.
So are all the so called Christians who act like this crazy cult idiot. He is not doing the WILL of God, nor are the crazy anti war protesters at God hates Fags.
While true, He does HATE Sodomy, He also hates the folks giving Christ a bad name and failing on that regard.
There IS Christ with a bull whip, kicking ass, yes. But notice in the passage he whipped the men and the large animals. When he came to the doves in cages, he gently opened and let them free.
As far as I know, Smoking Gun emphasizes current cases. But let’s not get sidetracked. This pastor’s church did the indefensible by condoning the Westboro nutjobs.
Yup.
I t's kool aid time or jump on the back of a comet time---redux.
I love that it is causing not only the islamic nuts to get nuttier, but it is causing the leftist to wet their pants.
I think it would serve a good purpose if the media would pull the passages from the quran which are a danger to society.
Sections which instruct jihad, cutting off heads, killing Jews and Christians, etc., should be widely publicized. Why are the so-called peace loving muslims never challenged on the insane and deadly words of this “holy” book.
Burning this hate-filled book does nothing. I say expose its contents.
Did not Jesus say you had to leave the family had to hate your mother and father and put your hand on the plow and not look back?
You don't even have to buy it.
Just contact CAIR or a local mosque and they will send/give you one, free and postage paid.
I know...I've asked for and received 13 so far.
You'd think the idiots would have caught on by now.
They make great bullet backstops, lousy toilet paper, decent birdcage liner, okay for cat litter box lining and so-so for starting the wood stove fire.
One that I received had wood in the bindings/cover, good enough for my Cub Scout grandson to build a bird house with.
Selective outrage at religious extremism undercuts the entire argument over one nut.
The media gave Barack Hussein Obama a pass for going to the church of God Damn America for 20 years.
I will not be shamed. I have not attended this man’s church, listened to his message, or send him a penny.
He still has the right to burn a koran regardless of his views.
Hillary Clinton has denounced it as an offensive act, yet she told those offended by the Mother Mary in Dung to “stuff it” even though THAT was at a taxpayer funded venue.
Can’t have it both ways.
No we don’t have to put up with it and we mustn’t any longer. We must demand of our so called “representatives” to establish and enforce better and more stringent immigration laws requiring “assimilation training” for prospective new citizens. US citizenship is an honor and privilege and we must stop slouching toward the 3rd world new comers and demand they aspire to assimilation into our precious foundational truths and customs.
Never forget it was Ted Kennedy who, in an effort to save the democrat party and swell its voter base crafted the 1964 immigration and naturalization laws to open the floodgates to 3rd world masses who may not be equipped or evolved enough to extol, never mind carry the banner of our sacred constitution. May his eternity be spent in torment.
