If this one is lost, THEN, it will open the door for the silencing of Christians all over the country. Is Jay Sekulow in on this?(ACLJ).

I blame those who had a chance to stop ALL of this perversion and filth, 40 years or so ago, when it was just geting started, but instead they listened to the liberal lie of "Christians do not belong in polotical matters, stay out and let us handle things" I, for one was not alive then.

If this does continue, then the only kind of witnessing permisible, will be about the "LOVE" of God. No mention of "sin", Hell, or anything like that, will be allowed.

Absent a federal prosecution, I suspect the 'evidence' may be less compelling than is claimed.

I don't know I saw the video on Hannity and Colmes. It looked pretty compelling to me.

Apparenly "free speech" is OKAY for Pink Angels and other non-Christian, white, Euro folks....in Philly. The P.C. thought police judges are at it again, using their benches as THEIR "bully pulpit

I heard comedian Ron White once talking about gays. He put them down pretty good. Then said something to the effect that if you're gay you believe you have the right to do what you want, and by the same token he believes he has the right to say what he wants.

What Ron White says sounds simply...fair, doesn't it?
However, you and I both know that there is a rampant double standard in this country.

That one year of 'private practice' could be code for "between jobs" too.....

Actually, zero years of employment in the private sector. SEPTA is the current incarnation of the city transportation system, subsidized by taxes.

Penna is a red state with two very large blue cities. We're working on changing that, too.

I. Group Profile

1. Name: Father Divine's International Peace Mission Movement
http://religiousmovements.lib.virginia.edu/nrms/Fatherd.html#profile

III. Beliefs of the Group

Central to the beliefs of the Peace Mission Movement is that members believe Father Divine "fulfills the scriptural promise of the Second Coming of Christ," and that he "is the personification of God in a bodily form

Fifty Fifth Anniversary Celebration of
The Marriage of Father And Mother Divine!

http://fdipmm.libertynet.org/newsletr/2001june/bilb040a.html


The next speaker was Ms. Petrese Tucker, who is a Judge in Federal Court. She was impressed especially by the young people who had spoken.

"I think that it is very positive that they can come here after somehow becoming acquainted with the Peace Mission Movement. Even though we think that people don't know anything about the Movement, word of the Peace Mission is still spreading. It is at situations like this one that people can come and share and learn. I thank YOU for that opportunity."

It shouldn't be much of a surprise - many folks were quick to understand that "hate crimes" were going to lead to "hate speech" which was going to infringe on religious freedom by making The Holy Bible the pbject of attacks by the sick people of the world. Satan is alive and well and won't admit defeat until Jesus comes back to dispatch him. Until then, we have to live in the world as it becomes a stinking cesspool and just do our best to oppose Evil.

appointed by Clinton.

Yes, but the U.S.Attorney and the Attorney General are both Bush appointees, so Bush, and not the judge, is ultimately responsible for the prosecution.

WND is misrepresenting this. They’re not up for 47 years and weren’t just “preaching” but raided the stage of a permitted demonstration. They were trying to interfere with the gay’s right to speak more than speak themselves. WND and the 'Philly 5' are misrepresenting this. Real Christians don’t “bear false witness”.

If the situation were turned around, I’d expect you to all support Act Up’s arrest for “preaching” with bullhorns at the inauguration parade and refusing the police orders to return to their counter protest area. That’s exactly the same as this case

Demonstrations and emotional counter demonstrators are kept apart for a reason . WND is helping these phony, Bush hating “Christians” play good people here for suckers. I’ve spent time working to convince people of that here, but I won’t read replies to this thread. It’s a beautiful day, and I’m not going to waste it rearguing this case. Regards.

"Fahling said . . . 'retaliated against them because they hated . . . ."

Freedom for religious expression is a profound concept from the Founders' era and is link inextricably to all other rights acknowledged and protected by the United States Constitution. This is not about the subject matter of the defendants' speech, it is about their right to express it.

Those so-called "free speech" advocates who, at the same time, advocate for an activist judiciary to denigrate freedom of religious expression might do well to recall these poignant words:

First They Came for the Jews

"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

- Pastor Martin Niemöller
