For more than a decade new military recruits at Maxwell Air Force Base Gunter Annex in Alabama have received a Bible from Gideons International volunteers. But that tradition has come to an end after volunteers said they were told by the military that they would no longer be allowed to personally distribute the pocket-sized Bibles to recruits.
They kicked us out, Gideons volunteer Michael Fredenburg told me in a telephone interview from his home in Montgomery, Ala. They told us, get your Bibles out.
Gaylan Johnson, is a public affairs officer for the Military Entrance Processing Command. He told me the Gideons side of the story is not strictly true.
For years the Gideons had distributed Bibles to new recruits four days a week. They can place their literature within our facility, but they are not allowed to stand there and talk with applicants or hand them (the Bibles) out, he told me.

Team Obama hates Christianity, the Constitution and captialism.
(Classical Christianity, original intent Constitution, and free market capitalism)
Yep
Thanks for the ping Bro, I’m Ex-Army, but my BIL is a ‘73 grad of the AF academy and a 20 year AF pilot who just shakes his head at the politically correct bullshit that permeates our Military now. Let’s get the U.S. Senate back in November and put a stop to 0bozo’s godless rule.
I still have my Gideon Bible somewhere from MEPS before I went to Fort Benning.
The U.S. military is becomming anti-Christian from the top down.
A fellow service member was undergoing a hardship at my joint command... I told him I would pray for him, and he was grateful. Some AF master sergeant overheard and told me I wasn’t allowed to do that. I let her know surely am allowed to do that... The JAG backed me up.
I just said a prayer for her.
Thank God for the Gideons!
What the heck is going on?
The Commander-In-Chief has said he will side with the Muslims.
Trying finding a Gideon Bible at any hotel or motel room in the United States of Sodom and Gommora. They don’t exist anymore. Only in your imagination. You want a Bible to read it while out on vacation, pack it in your suitcase. You will find none in the room you are giving $200 a night for. But you will find all the pornography you want on the TV set.
There are atheists who pride themselves on stealing Gideon Bibles from hotel rooms then piling them up in their living rooms. Bunch of sickos.
Anyway, this latest Air Force assault on Christianity smacks of the obnoxious fistwaving atheist Mikey Weinstein, the Obama-appointed religion commissar.
Are you serious??? You were told you could not pray for someone???
What country is this?
