Would loved to have had a chat with the woman following us down the street yelling at us, “Shame on you, shame on you.” But she wasn’t interested in a two way conversation, and as soon as she saw us start to speak she would just yell over us. My wife was almost in tears feeling sorry for her. Would like these folks to know Jesus took our shame and paid for it all, and that’s available to them also.
Mayor Sam Adams, on the other hand, did show up at a previous meeting to let local churches know what was needed in praying for Portland. I’d bet these protestors would be ashamed of him for talking to the church.
The church should keep on hand several buckets of ice water with ice floating in it. When a protester accosts you and starts shouting obscenities, treat it as simple assault and have a parishioner hit them full in the face with a bucket of ice water.
Then dare them to have the police arrest someone for throwing water.
I realize this is liberal Portland and the faggies & illegals own everybody else. I also realize that here in South Carolina shouting obscenities at a churchgoer will result in several fists to the face delivered by angry men of the congregation.
