i pray that Jesus uplift, defend and bless her. she’s been handed her cross and has the faith to pick it up.
To leave some in denial that they will be next. Divide and Comquer is the perfect way to systematically destroy your opposition.
That’s what I don’t get. Couldn’t someone pick up the flowers or something?
What would happen if the owner had a 10% surcharge on all wedding contracts, to be donated to some get out of homosexuality organization. This would be stated in the contract and would be charged to all parties homosexual or not?
Thoughts?
YHVH, you said you would not be mocked. You also said that those who stand with you, would not be shamed. Your name is at stake here, and we all need you to act in support of this woman. Doing so, will help our trust in you, too.
Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Thanks for listening.

Which is exactly why this Judge went for a summary judgement in this case and denied a jury trial.
Big Brother makes sure Winston Smith has his mind "right".
She needs to file a criminal complaint against the state AG with her local sheriff’s department for intimidation. The constitution of the State of Washington actually grants greater protection on matters of conscience than the U.S. Constitution.
These are wicked and evil people who have attacked this woman.

Just wow. Her letter is incredible. Talk about modeling Christian character. The AG should be ashamed of himself.
Being in government service for a number of years including writing, reviewing and even enforcing government edicts and regulations my opinion of government honchos is not very high. I often proposed that government officials be removed from the protection of ‘in/by official duty’. My neighbor can seek justice of the courts as I can if arguable actions are entailed. There is no ordinary/common relief from individuals in the government service against arbitrary actions by such ‘government’ servants. This needs to change to have true ‘government of the people, by the people and of the people’. The sooner the better!
Bless her. My words would not have been nearly so kind.
What if Christian businesses said “We do not service ‘marriages’ at all, ever. We only provide services for Ceremonies of Holy Matrimony.
The word ‘marriage’ has been given over to the state as one more function to regulate (define). The church needs to cease marriages and only officiate Ceremonies of Holy Matrimony.
I think it was Selwyn Duke who proposed that she and others in her position should pursue a freedom of Speech defense and not a freedom of Religion defense.
His reasoning seemed sound: the gov’t is trying to coerce her to make speech she disagrees with, similar to forcing someone to pledge allegiance to the flag.
It seemed like a most interesting position and one that might bear weight.
She did not refuse to sell to them because they were homosexual, she refused to create a message using her talents that could seem to support an action she opposed.
Be worth a try...
I like that angle.
America needs more people like this brave woman. She could always move to Texas! We’d be glad to have her.
We will all be tested (Christians) over the next few years. May we remember this wonderful Christian women and those (like the 21 Coptic Christians) who stood with God and my we have the love and hence the strength to stand with Him as well.
I no longer consider this government an American one. It is a foreign government that rules by whim and appears to being influenced by evil. I believe it will fall of it’s own accord...sooner than later. We can choose where we participate in this culture of evil...that is our free will. But, remember this ladies resolve to maintain her soul and yet to give unto Caeser that which is his...
Wow. “And a child ... “ and a grandmotherly florist ... “shall lead them.”
