The explosion of hatred and threats against a family owned Indiana pizza restaurant who said they wouldn't cater a gay wedding have forced them to go into hiding and they may leave town permanently. A northern Indiana pizza shop that came under fire after its owners said their religious beliefs wouldn't allow them to cater a gay wedding is closed indefinitely, and its operators say they've gone into hiding. Memories Pizza in Walkerton faced criticism this week after co-owner Crystal O'Connor expressed support for a new Indiana religious objections law. The Facebook and Yelp pages for the restaurant about 20 miles southwest of South Bend were bombarded with negative reviews. A coach of a high school golf program was suspended after a Twitter post that mentioned going to Walkerton and burning down the restaurant. WNDU-TV reports that O'Connor and her family are considering leaving town.

The man was Lot - of Sodom and Gomorrah - area now known as the Dead Sea.
Thanks....I thought it was LOT but I just wasn’t sure.
Romans 1:.. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Proverbs 6:16-19 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
That reminds me - Biblical commentator/translator Henry Alford wrote that there must have been something else worse going on there other than just widespread homosexuality, because that has occurred elsewhere without the intervention. He mentioned that when commenting on Jude’s reference to them “going after strange flesh” as the fallen angels did, i.e. inter-species sexual intercourse.
ROFL. A work of art.
This is exactly the tactics, techniques, and procedures the gay community coupled with the support of the liberal media use to intimidate the rest of us.....now that monetary support has come in + the trust behind the reporter....this will severely damage both the news station and the LGBT agenda!
If the threatened pizza-shop owners can take in more than $800,000 in less than a week for standing up for their religious beliefs, think of the deluge of campaign contributions Ted Cruz must be taking in by giving speeches strongly supporting the virtues of freedom of religion.
Because a liberal reporter wanted to create a major news story, the battle lines between death-threatening gay activists and hardworking Christians who want to do their jobs without having to sacrifice their religious beliefs has been firmly drawn.
So what will Hillary do after she announces her candidacy for president? Unless she comes out forcefully on the side of the gay activists, she’ll be attacked by them and lose many Democratic votes in the primaries; but if she comes out on the side of religious freedom with Ted Cruz and her own husband who signed a freedom of religion act in 1993, she’ll be booed by the vast majority of Democrats all the way to the next DNC convention.
The last thing the Democrats need is a gays vs. Christians media brouhaha just as Hillary is preparing to officially announce her intention to become president of the United States, land of the still mostly free but with a 3% gay population trying to take on the other 97%.
With over 3/4 a mill they can move to a small town somewhere and retire if they invest wisely.
“So what will Hillary do after she announces her candidacy for president? Unless she comes out forcefully on the side of the gay activists, she’ll be attacked by them and lose many Democratic votes in the primaries;..”
Interesting point.
In order for the democrats to show they are the antithesis they must be as strong in the antithesis as the thesis is strong.
In application, if we have a leftist rino with a squishy message (thesis), then this allows the liberal to have a squishy response message (antithesis). If we have a very strong conservative message (thesis), then the liberal has to lean way leftist (to be the antithesis).
This is very good for Cruz who strongly believes in strong biblical conservatism and is not afraid to articulate this message. This means that any liberal opponent will by necessity have to articulate a very extreme non-God, statist, message to be perceived as the opposite of Cruz. In doing so, this will help expose them.
Go Cruz!
“...Hillary is preparing to officially announce her intention to become president of the United States, land of the still mostly free but with a 3% gay population trying to take on the other 97%.”
I think this report unknowingly did us all a favor....God works in mysterious ways....everyone knows Hillary is a drunk lezbo....her changes of winning have been sunk! Like an ice cube in her whiskey!
I guess the 'activist' freaks found out that the Phelps clan were all lawyers and all Democrats, so now they conveniently ignore them. 'Enemy of my enemy' and all that ...
If I remember my business law course from many years ago, I don’t think they are free to make threats like that. You are not allowed to threaten someone with harm. It may vary from state to state, but you can be charged (battery, I believe) for that if you are capable of committing the act.
I was thinking more of the trashing they took on Yelp and the internet as well as in the media. I don't think anyone is free to make death threats or encourage people to burn the place down.
I would carry a gun on me at all times if I was them. If I could not legally possess a gun In Indiana, I would move to where I could.
I don't think Indiana has many restrictions on gun ownership.
do you realize how long it takes to count about $900,000.00 dollars???
Don't worry your little southern self....the citizens of Indiana didn't get to where they are by being wimps...we're doing just fine!!!!!!!
EVERYBODY men, women, children,nuns, priests, infants, prisoners, etc...are required by law in Indiana to own at least 2 guns....and we do.....be VERY careful here. :0)...
