An 84-year-old widow claims California officials are threatening to kick her out of a residence for veterans if she doesn't stop hosting a longtime Bible study.

Artis Breau and her husband moved to the Veterans' Home of California in Yountville nine years ago. Breau's husband, who died a few years ago, served as a Merchant Marine, Army, in World War II and then, during the Korean War he served in the Air Force. The two met in the 1950s while she worked at the Pentagon as a civilian employee in the Office of the Chief of Staff of the Army...

Sounds about right for 2019 AmeriKa.

Some days I fear Trump is a temporary band aid. I BIG band aid and even a multi year band aid.

But still a band aid in the big picture.

And when the dems start losing in conservative courts, they will get more violent and virulent.

Breau came under fire for a discussion she had last September with another resident about heaven and hell that allegedly caused the man to lose sleep and was deemed "elder abuse, emotional abuse, and otherwise illegal," according to PJI.

Dying without salvation should cause a bit of a crisis.

I remember 1966 Basic Training. Our Training Instructor, in a moment of non-drilling, once said that he feared the day would come when there would be no chapels allowed on military bases.

An “elderly vet loses sleep over...” deemed “elder abuse, emotional abuse.....over the thoughts of whether he was headed to heaven or hell!

Good for that follower of Jesus for sharing His words with this “elderly vet” he has been given a time of grace to decide in his “sleepless nights” who he chooses to be with for all eternity!

It’s called preaching the Gospel as Christ commanded:

“Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel”

Christian here. not all Christians are good people some can be Quite abusive because in the end we are a product of this world. The staff is not forbidding a bible study. If you read the article what is happening is that because she was abusive they are forcing her to step down as leader of the bible study. they are not banning the bible study they are taking away her leadership role as a community volunteer. the bible study was not hers but a part of organized activities by the retirement center....this part is just me speculating but if she decided to hold her own bible study in her room no one would stop her.

The CA government agency is anti-Chrisitan.

They tolerate every insane street creep in San Francisco, but will not tolerate a Christian or a Jew (or combined views) sticking his/her head up.

The complaint? Is from California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet).

Yes, they do ‘murder’ the language don’t they?

I keep getting ‘proposals’ to meet ‘cougars’ and it makes me pause and muse-

at 79, just what would I be expected to accept as a cougar - based on info at hand?

I guess now words like “hell” are “trigger” words, even in a veterans venue. I think it is only the CalVet officials that are “snowflakes” not the veterans in their facilities.

Lol! A friend (58) said something similar, expressing interest in the ‘cougar’ phenomenon. I explained that he probably didn’t really want that, as for him it would be more of a snow leopard than a cougar.

Time to do that civil disobedience thing. They count on fear based compliance. Just refuse to stop, and refuse to move out or leave.

Make sure plenty of cameras are around when they call the sheriffs deputies to drag her out bodily.
