In a letter signed by the pastor and minister of Westwood Baptist Church, the AA group was informed that the church facility will no longer be available to their organization beginning October 1, 2014.

The AA group had been holding their weekly meetings at the church for more than 5 years.

leave it to a dumb conservative to blame conservatives closing their doors because they choose to do so on liberals and calling it "taking my ball and going home."

And just an FYI smn, if you wanna not look so stupid, READ THE FU.CKING ARTICLE before you post it.

According to Critcher, the church is misguided in basing their fear off of that ruling. "It was property the church owned, they applied for a New Jersey program that was specifically for non-profits that could get their property tax exempt if they rented it out to the public.”

She says in that case the church was only in the wrong because they filed under the wrong tax exemption and churches have absolutely nothing to worry about but she says it startles her that a church would turn protection into discrimination.

This entire messageboard is a reminder why that NPR April Fools joke fooled so many people.

Seriously? Is it really that much more work to file for a religious exemption?

I did read it. You leftists have the Christian world worried about all the lawsuits you said would never happen. First it was a bakery and now churches are worried about what will happen to them. Mistake or not, the concern was there.

1.6% is wagging the dog.

Wait, are you literally trying to blame liberals for the church making a stupid decision that had no basis in reality? Are you even aware of the mental gymnastics you're doing just to blame liberals for literally everything?

Liberals are to blame for everything. You guys are sue happy and you have the perfect AG to do it.

At some point someone will sue the church in question for not having a bathroom for trannys. California already has them so it shall be decreed that every home in America now have them.

Bite me.

Hey smn,

are you done with your ranting about make believe scenarios and delusional talking points?

I mean seriously, you are blaming liberals for conservatives willingly closing their doors because they incorrectly thought a court ruling would affect them. There is absolutely nothing here to blame liberals for.

If you want any more proof that the GOP lives off of inserting unfounded fear into bigoted idiots, look to the OP.

A church should know how to file the proper exemption.

There are AA meetings in Lousiana?

The lady in the tiger print is delusional. They will be forced to marry gay couples, because the gaystapo will being using the courts the same way they did when they sued the baker over the wedding cake. They are simply waiting for all the court cases on the laws to play out, then they will turn their attention to the Churches.

Nice biased reporting by that news station. They should be ashamed of themselves for only interviewing that gay rights woman. This was a propaganda piece.

The gaystapo may win their battles in court, but they are starting to lose their court case on public opinion.

Good for this Church for shutting it down. Had they adhered to the gay community, it would have only escalated.

The Church made the correct decision.

Ok, so you're not aware of the mental gymnastics you're doing just to blame liberals for literally everything. Thanks for the answer.

Mental gymnastics is dixie's calling card bro...

The crux of this situation is whether the property was a church or a non-profit affiliated owned part of that church. For decades, churches have maintained their "religious" buildings and separate non-profit, but "open to the public" buildings, for things that do not conflict with Christianity, like AA, boy scouts, wedding reception, etc. Knowing that this property is church owned and that the people are Christian, the homosexual groups are targeting these facilities to force them to accept homosexual weddings. It's not like they don't have anywhere else to get married. To the contrary, these church owned facilities account for a tiny fraction (in many cases infinitesimal) of available facilities in a city. The hateful homosexual groups intentionally target these people because some courts have created a way for these folks to have the homosexual agenda shoved down their throats. IN the end, these churches either must forgo aiding their community in Christ or violate their faith by furthering homosexuality.

Our right to practice whatever religion we choose is supposed to be guaranteed by the First Amendment. This is just another example of how that right is constantly eroded each day by liberals.

I'm betting this is a small church that can't afford a team of lawyers to file the right paperwork, but churches should not be put in a position to have to worry about this. Unfortunately the gaystapo looks for every opportunity to force their agenda even in churches.

Very good explanation which will go over the heads of the Lefties.

I wonder if the gaystapo wanted a wedding in a Christian church if they could FORCE the minister to conduct it against his beliefs? If he refused could he be liable? After all, he is not the church. And if someone else was hired to perform it at that church could he/she be stopped because the church only lets the pastors that were hired to preach there?

Gaystopo? Jfc.

Quote:One of the Left’s most effective tools is the goon squad of gay party-line enforcers called “The Gaystapo”


Gays are used by the Left most often to attack, malign, and persecute Christians…as “enemies of the gay community”. The desired impact of this is to depict gays as perpetual victims of bullying by Christians so that other members of the public turn their backs on Christianity in support of these alleged-victims…when, in reality, it’s the gays who are attacking Christians and all of their “righteous indignation” is cover for the fact that gays are just employed as goon squads for the Left in this manner.
