I have a real problem with this ‘anonymously reporting’ of others. It needs to be stopped.
Once we had these things called 'property rights' - not to mention religious freedom. Now they mock us as they enslave us.
This persecution of the poor by the wealthy liberal elite, who can afford to live without finding a roommate.
I tried to rent a classified ad ($25) in the local fishwrap, saying I was a Christian looking for a housemate. The ad was slapped down, I told I wasn’t allowed to say that. I was also told I had to accept whoever wanted to rent my room or I could be sued.
This was a few weeks the same fishwrap announced a homosexual counterfeit marriage in their bridal section, so I cancelled my subscription. That was the last time I ever had a newspaper subscription.

The bastards should be counter-sued.
LEt’s finally throw ‘separation of church and state’ back at the statists.
She advertised on a church bulletin board. State, get the hell out of the church.
Send that link to the FHA folks in MI.
In short, if you have to live with them, you can discriminate as to who you live with.
This absolutely makes my blood boil! So the woman cannot specify “Christian” in the ad, and must wade through all of the applicants, somehow trying to discern if they are Christian or not, wasting their time and hers?
Choosing who will live under your roof with you should be a basic right. Everything about this is just terribly wrong.
If this isn't ridiculous I don't know what is.
She should file suit for harrassment instead. “Training in federal law” for posting a flyer asking for a Christian roommate at her church and be fined $300 - for posting something on a church bulletin board. Words can hardly begin to describe how stupid this is - they had to conduct an “investigation” into some lady posting a piece of paper in a church on a bulletin board...are we living in insane times or what?
This woman needs to find a new church home.
If the lady advertising doesn’t want to be with you because you are not a Christian there ain’t no free association.
All relationships are conditional especially those as close as a roommate.
HOW can that be?? What happened to "free speech"??
It would be interesting to know whether this law could compel the woman to rent to a man.
They have been here for a long time. They are called sensitivity training and done in corporations all the time due to the laws made in congress..
“What I would be willing to bet megabucks on is that it was NOT a regularly attending member of that church’s congregation and that the “Fair Housing Center” will fight to the death to avoid revealing who made the complaint. Further, I would go so far as to say I bet there are a LOT of complaints submitted by that person.”
I wouldn’t go that far. I have no doubt there would be regularly attending members in my church who would turn in the poster. I just keep away and pray for them.
Will do!
