I would say the Congress gave it to them long ago, by virtue of the same policy that Guidestar and Amazon have since adopted. Wouldn’t we just love to be the Gatekeeper for truth? In truth we are, it is just fact that few listen.
I read an article that interviewed the two lawyers that started the SPLC, during the interview one of the lawyers was asked why they started the SPLC his response was to the point, “We wanted to get rich.”
Read the article 20 or 25 years ago, may well have been in Playboy. I would try to find it but don’t know how.
they should check and see if the ADL has joined in this slander. The ADL is also a smear merchant.
Dear God please help us!
OMG please help us Lord Jesus!
Oh absolutely sick!
I think it was James Wood who recommended a class action suit.
So are they saying that DJKM supports same-sex marriage and transgenderism? Or that being opposed to them constitutes a hate group?
Everyone needs to know what the sworn testimony is in Morris Dees divorce case is, especially what he did to his stepdaughter.
Every time your local paper quotes the SPLC, comment and ask them why, in light of the sworn testimony in his divorce case, are they giving any credence to what the SPLC says.
Don’t call out the exact crimes, just plant enough info to cause others reading it to hopefully search the info out.
Newspapers quoting the SPLC on “hate” groups is like quoting the KKK on race relations.
Thank goodness someone is taking them to court.
Liberty Counsel is fighting them also. There needs to be a “class action” lawsuit with all the organizations targeted by SPLC. I would include every single person and company who is contributing to their hate. They are raking in the dough like the Clintons did in their foundation.
Does no one see that Soros is every bit as despicable now as he was when younger and bragged about targeting families for the Nazis? What does it take to get some action by our government against that unspeakable low life?
None of this would be taking place with his support and big bucks!
...”So are they saying that DJKM supports same-sex marriage and transgenderism? Or that being opposed to them constitutes a hate group?”...
DJKM has long been a very influential church in this country. My impression is that the SPLC simply has called them a hate group because they believe in Christianity and worship Jesus Christ. The SPLC is a big supporter of everything LGBT and would like to take away the influence of Christians from this culture because Christianity supports marriage between and man and woman only. However, Christians would never hate or try to take away the freedom of homosexuals to do what they do. That is the impression I get. You can imagine my reaction this a.m. when I looked on the back of my church bulletin sand saw an ad for Amazonsmile..”You Shop. Amazon gives. One of our ministries has a children’s camp and was asking us to buy from Amazon to support that youth camp. How clever of Amazon to support a youth camp as it takes in million more dollars from the church folks while it is denying the right of a large, influential church to share in Amazonsmile by designating it a “hate” group. I am sure the folks at my church have not yet heard about Amazon’s link to the real haters who are none other than the SPLC. However, they will, I assure you, they will.
One of the Pastors at my church, finished the last sermon of a summer series on the book of Jonah. He mentioned that it ends abruptly, with God asking Jonah if He should not be concerned about the 120,000 Ninevites and animals in the city. We are left with no idea if Jonah eventually came to God’s POV, or remained angry that God did not destroy the Ninevites, who did not know, nor ever had a chance to know God.
The pastor pointed out that the Scripture is open ended because it is a question that we have examine for ourselves when we encounter our own ‘Ninevites’. Calgary is celebrating ‘Pride Week’ this week. He suggested that perhaps that sinful idea of LGBTQ perhaps took root because Christians in the former ‘Christendom’ have become complacent and take God’s blessings for granted, perhaps replacing faith in Him, with faith in our ‘stuff’ and not sharing the Gospel in a world that so badly needs Jesus.
He also mentioned Muslim terrorists. Generation after generation of them are taught the brutal, evil lies that Mohamed fell for and then taught. Is it any wonder they are so vicious. How many Christians share the Gospel with muhamedans in Canada and the West? Very few, yet God’s bringing hundreds of thousands to Him, through dreams and visions, in Muslim countries. We can choose to be like Jonah and ask God’s Judgement on LGBTQ and mohamedans, etc. or we can look at them through His eyes, ‘people who cannot tell their right hand from their left’, people who NEED to hear the Gospel. It is easy to react as Jonah did, but it is against God’s will.
The Pastor’s words hit home and more than a few congregants seem a little off-put by those words. We have been complacent for generations in the West, focusing on prosperity and keeping Jesus to ourselves. Years ago, when I was fairly new to my faith, I said that I wanted to be a ‘dangerous’ Christian. Instead, I settled for being a ‘comfortable’ Christian, a Laodicean Christian, like much of the church in the West.
As persecution begins in earnest, all who claim Jesus as Lord, WILL have to decide on ‘comfort’ versus Jesus’ will. Do I choose my career, house and family, or do I choose to follow Jesus? I believe that we are only starting to see the ‘great falling away’.
GRPL Ping
Christians are labelled haters for adhering to the Word of God.
But they would not dare blacklist Muslim groups for being anti-gay, according to their doctrines in the Koran.
A commercial advertisement seems out of place in a church bulletin. Hope they have other sources of funding.
Time for the SPLC to be taken down.
Great read. Thanks for posting.
So was Hitler/Schckelgruber/Frankenberger.
Instead of lauding Morris Dees, the media should be posting warning signs!
How muslim organizations has the SPLC labeled as hate groups.
The islam position on homosexuality is pretty clear.
I am guessing none.
This is politics, pure and simple. Attack the opposition, protect your allies.
