City of Houston demands pastors turn over sermons

Old info. They didn't up until 1984.

 

No doubt some people support such an anti-Constitutional, anti-American agenda. When it blows up in their faces, the smarter ones will recognize how unwise it is to enact such actions.

 

The left is too busy kissing muslim ass for their vote, so they let Islam slide on those grounds.

 

Hey Max, you're from down there, did it make the evening news? Nothing up here about it........just curious..

 

What? I couldn't believe my eyes to see this headline. If you don't like the city's new non-discrimination ordnance.

Don't we have a First Amendment to the US Constitution? And I thought Texas was a Red State.

But, why be surprised? Another gang of big-city politicians are going to tell you want to believe and how to act. They toss out more than 17,000 signatures seeking a ballot measure to toss out their little fascist tactic and are now threatening to fine or even jail anyone who opposes them.

Houston Demand to See Pastors’ Sermons a Chilling Attempt to Silence Free Speech → mor4 explanation @ http://www.prisonplanet.com/houston...-chilling-attempt-to-silence-free-speech.html

 

Correct

 

Not that I've seen in local Ft. Worth or Dallas news, but I could have missed it too. The Ebola issue is taking precedence.

 

as a person who by your post history, appears to support homosexual behavior and anti-Christian sentiment, you would down-play what is going on.

 

It's way past time to be taxing churches anyway. They avail themselves of this country's infrastructure just like I do.

I heard on the news that the homo girl relented and said that the subpoenas were too broad - like her ass - and she would narrow them. SO she is giving up.

 

Do you feel the same way for all charities or just the ones you don't like?

Personally, I'd like to see better enforcement of the present rules, but not a change of the rules.

 

This is an election cycle here in Texas. These pastors are probably in precincts and Wards there that are close, and these vermin are just attempting to intimidate these pastors who speak out against baby killing and the 'Gay Marriage' hoax. They know full well this is not even remotely legal, but they only need to shut them up for a couple of weeks or so, until voting is closed, then pretend they decided to drop the issue. Even if these pastors' congregations are never going to vote Republican, they will stay home and reduce turnout rather than pull a straight ticket lever for baby killing and the homosexual marriage hoax. I'm also betting these pastors' churches just happen to be mostly in minority precincts and Wards, and blue collar ones.

 

It was an act of either desperation, or she and her entourage of sycophants are sociopaths and didn't count on such a backlash. They need to be investigated for their illegal attempt at voter intimidation and censorship tactics.

 

I wholeheartedly support equal treatment under the law. I abhor bigotry and treating certain segments of our society as second class citizens. And I find it especially despicable when those doing so cloak themselves in the protective garment of their religion. If that shoe fits you, wear it. That is the extent of my anti-Christian sentiment. Keep your religion and whatever ancient beliefs accompany it where it belongs and we're all fine. It does not belong in our public schools. Don't bring it to work. Don't use it to violate others' civil rights. In this case, play by the rules you agreed upon to obtain your special status. Then, we will all be better off, don't you think?

Continuing, your self-invented "re-education camp" is absurd. And hysterical. I've attended a number of diversity training classes and they are nothing more than an informational on what is legal and allowable in the workplace. Hardly anything like the indoctrination you would portray. I imagine you do so out of ignorance and I'm really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt on that. Any alternative explanations paint you in a not-so-pretty light.

 

your being silly, but I do agree gov employees should have to pay ss tax

 

Unless they were in the Civil Service Retirement System prior to1984, they do pay SS tax.

 

What is there to tax? You don't really understand what the laws say re the tax exemptions and what is covered under them.

 

ROTFLMAO….Stop embarrassing yourself with such nonsense.

 

Stop lying about churches violating any law by political advocacy for or against any social issues. Or find a single case in American history where one has ever been prosecuted for such advocacy, or ever had their tax exempt status denied by the IRS or any other government body or court for such political activities. It wasn't churches that turned homosexual privilege and baby killing into political issues, and they are not violating any laws by organizing to dispute those issues. Disputing such nonsense doesn't make Christian theology a political ideology by opposing them.

 

Mentally ill sociopaths are generally clueless when it comes to such things like this. No doubt they're completely baffled as to why this has backfired on them, just as they were baffled as to why having pedophile organizations like NAMBLA in the organizational structure of the homosexual privilege movement for decades was frowned on by the general public, even by Bill Clinton. The more media savvy sociopaths finally figured it out, and the ILGA voted on throwing them out, but only because their membership in the ILGA held up getting Clinton's approval for NGO status at the UN, not because they understood why normal humans hate kiddie rapers. They just knew it was getting them bad PR.

 

Nonsense. Churches, and pastors can advocate for or against social issues any time they want. They always have, and always will. Abolition, civil rights, voting rights, all perfectly legal and protected activities, including opposing ordinances granting special legal privileges to homosexuals and opposing baby killing.

Churches do have to apply for tax exempt status, it's automatic. They only file under 501c for a determination letter, which many businesses and organizations require for their own tax returns to claim tax deductions for donations, not because churches need IRS or any other government approval for it. They can advocate over social issues til hell freezes over, from the pulpit or anywhere else. You don't know what you're talking about, or you're a liar. You get to decide which case you fall under.

 

You say it like that's a bad thing.

 

The Q'ran? Try the Old Testament for a true taste of Christian nastiness.

 

Exactly right; the Romans murdered Jesus Christ precisely because he was viewed as a potentially dangerous revolutionary leader. He was the Che Guevara of his day; a socialist in all he stood for.

 

Wasn't it churches who used to burn 'witches'-or am I mistaken? (Whilst we're on he subject of killing, that is). Wasn't it those fine disciples of the 'fiery cross' who delighted in lynching black people for...being black? (Whilst we're on the subject of political issues).
