About 21 years ago, in my hometown of Indianapolis, we had a similar thing going on.
Some folks went on to bigger and better things: others did not.
While not my church; I was determined to be there when the deputies moved in.
There was no violence, but a LOT of praying took place.
The Greg Dixon thorn was removed from the flesh of the US government.

The only similarity I see between these two incidents are the government and a church...... and the first thing that came into my mind is Mark,12;17
