Quite outrageous of these hypocritical sexual deviants to insist on invading other people's privacy when they went into a legal "sissy fit" when they claimed the law was invading their own dungeon of depravity.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Can I ask what controlling legal authority will compel churches to turn over sermons for inspection/approval by government officials??????

Is there something I am missing??? This seems like an obvious abuse of power, and something ripe for a court challenge of the right of government to review the content of a preacher’s sermon.

The gaystapo ruthlessly using soviet tactics.

Considering that many pastors in the protestant world preach from the hip, good luck getting a copy of their sermons. The best most could do is give a list of Bible references.

[SoConPubbie]

This is where a pastor in good conscience refuses and goes to jail, if necessary.

Time to start calling their bluff.

Let me guess, the Houston Comical thinks that this action is wonderful.

I would suggest sending them sermons. Lots of sermons. Lots and lots of sermons.

Type written, printed, handwritten sermons. Sermons written on small scraps of paper.

They want paper? Give them paper.

[MeshugeMikey]

I for one have never before heard of any Pastor’s Sermons being demanded by any government entity...since Jesus short sojourn here on earth

[workerbee]

I thought Austin was the crazy place in Texas.

[moovova]

My reply would be...If you want to know what’s in the sermon, attend the 11 o’clock service.

[sport]

I would say to the Pastors , refuse to comply. To take to the Courts, though I no longer have any confidence in them. And if worse comes to worse, let the funerals begin. It is going to start sometime, it may as well be now.

[Teotwawki]

Our church records the sermons so if anyone can’t make it to church one week, they can still go to the church website and get audio and video of any sermon they want. Anyone can access. It’s time for the churches to stand up and be bold. Speak he truth. Challenge any authority that would deny us that right.

[Lurker]

It’s way past time for rope and trees. Way past time.

[marron]

I’ll agree with others.

Refuse and go to jail. Sure, a lot of preachers now have their sermons on CDs and podcasts, and anyone can get a copy. But refuse to give a copy to any court.

I can see it coming. Its already here in Canada and in Europe, where preachers can be jailed for a sermon. And its coming soon in the US. The only way to break the chains is to confront them even at the risk of jail and bankruptcy. You say you believe in God? Get ready to put it on the line.

[JimSEA]

How can they possibly reconcile this with the First Amendment. As I read it there is no exception for the so called hate speech that progressive like to push.

[VRW Conspirator]

They want to silence the Word of God. Good luck with that.

[blueyon]

Easy.....give them a bible and say that’s my notes
