And no true Baptist would ever align themselves with this cult.

Catholicism is not a cult.

How Old is Your Church?

The Catholic Church was founded by Christ on the apostles.

Fred P. is a defrocked Primative Baptist IIRC, I had some experience with them in the hills of VA.

Primatives were snake handlers, etc. Full Gospel.

I remember going to a backwoods church in VA in the late 70’s to hear Win Worley, a Baptist exorcist out of Indiana.

It was a real deal- it took several of us to hold down a 13 year-old girl who was being delivered...

Pretty wild shit. Google Win Worley.

A bullhorn impinging on your hearing at such an event is offensive in that: (1) though the 1st Amendment guarantees a right to speak on public property, does not give one the right to make another listen if he/she/they do not wish it, thus making its use a nuisance; and (2) the horn will doubtless exceed statutory sound level limits to be effective, and thus be unlawful.

Seems as though the festival leaders have been very generous in their offer to accept the Baptists' presence, if they can get anyone to listen to them without rudely forcing their message on the attenders (who have probably not come to hear a religious message from any one, but just to be entertained with food, games, and articles to buy).

I do not see anywhere in the Bible that preaching style is urged to be insistently annoying to an unwilling hearer. In contrast,remember Christ's Golden Rule.
