“The fact is that suddenly we find ourselves having to choose between obeying God and man made laws,” they write. “We have chosen to obey God. We are willing to give up our rights, go to jail, or even die, for the cause of helping anyone become free from a sinful life and helping that person to live in obedience to God’s Word.”

Once upon a time in America, the government would not have dared to push that decision in front of anyone. Sad for America; proud for the Mennonites.

When liberals went on witch hunts against gun owners for self defence, Texans put the kabosh on the persecution via jury nullification. They refused to find people acting in self defense when attacked by criminals, guilty of a crime; no matter how cleverly contrived in technocality by prosecutors. They did not plan or plot such an outcome; they were just true to the American sense of justice without fanfare. Prosecutors took the hint gave up wasting their time.

Christians have the power to do this with any fascist move against religious freedom or human life made by the government. The founders set up the balancing of power in law with a “jury of peers” for a reason. All the power of law ultimately lies with the jury - the people- and most of us are Christians, not gay sex activists and communists.

It is expected and designed for Americans be uppity in protection of one another’s constitutional freedom and innocent life when the government “progresses” to oppress that freedom.

When the government progresses to be extreme - in extreme conflict with common sense and the nature of good and normal human existence, or in conflict with our God given rights, jury nullification is our power. We don’t have to leave it up to corrupt judges and prosecutors. If they want to put an American in jail or win a civil law suit, they come through us.

For example, if watermelons made it a crime for humans to expel carbon pollution from their lungs (they’d love to knock out “overpopulation”), it would be fine for the people to annul that law in the jury box. Christians best get ready because we are going to face some outrageous actions of government ordered (and disobeyed) killings under Obamacare’s rationing that we are going to get uppity about.

Homofascism will ask us to harm Christians and protect and the aggressive sexual behaviors perverts. In this case child custody was given to a lesbian of no relation to the child. It was homofascist judicial activism. Christians should anul such legal actions through juries. In this case we can hold this minister not guilty of a crime. Just...because...we...want...to and as a jury member we...can.

In these abnormal times, what is good is named evil and what is evil is named good. Liberals can tell Christians to shut up all they want in public debate and shove through laws against our will, but they can’t make us convict other Christians for using common sense — being normal and moral. We can do what is right on a jury without a lot of risk as long as we are willing to discuss issues of morality and justice amongst ourselves - beyond the collective amoral ignorance of political correctness. That is what Texans did in protection of the second amendment while legal activists were hot to harm gun owners.
