Behold a Pale Horse - William Cooper (Full Presentation)



Published on Mar 6, 2012 by Eyes4theProfane


Ths is Bill's presentation titled after his book he authored, "Behold a Pale Horse." He covers a wide array of topics and imparts tons of great material to his audience (in a school gymnasium in California if I'm not mistaken.)

You will also see pictures of UFO, black project crafts from Area 51 "Groom Lake", etc. He tells about his trips to that area in Nevada with others where they'd sit for hours watching the skies and seeing "test flights" from Area 51 of different UFO's and the likes. Pretty amazing stuff!

I, for one, know that UFO's are real... (I have footage all over my channel of my own authentic video recordings for one)... the thing we don't know about them is their origin, who made them, and what their main objective(s) is/are!

Please check out the Hour of the Time website: http://www.hourofthetime.com/

And thank the good people over there for keeping Bill's legacy alive! ---- http://eyesfortheprofane.com/ Peace&Love God bless Chris

Watch President Obama Address the U.N. General Assembly

Christian conservatives angered by Obama's comments on Islam at UN

Some right-wing commentators saw president's discussion of hate speech as a thinly veiled attack on American Christians

Barack Obama has drawn fire from the Christian right over his attempt to criticise Muslims who are offended by slander of the prophet Mohammed while desecrating other religions.
Right-wing critics turned on the president over his speech to the United Nations in which he sought to dampen the backlash against the anti-Muslim film that prompted violence across the Middle East earlier this month. They accused him of saying that the foundation of Christianity is itself a slander against Islam.
Obama told the UN that the modern world presents a unique challenge because "anyone with a cell phone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button". He said the notion that the flow of information can be controlled is obsolete and so the question is how to respond to offensive material.
The president said that there is no justification for violence and the killing of innocents in response to an offending video or hate speech because that "empowers any individual who engages in such speech to create chaos around the world".
"We empower the worst of us if that's how we respond," he said.
Obama returned to the theme later in the speech when he implicitly noted the hypocrisy of those who resort to violence because they believe their religion is offended while refusing to respect the beliefs of others. That's when he upset some on the Christian right.
"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims and Shiite pilgrims," he told the UN.
"It's time to heed the words of Gandhi: 'intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.' Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them. That is what America embodies, that's the vision we will support."
The backlash was almost immediate with some on the right saying the president was launching a thinly veiled attack on Christians.
"It is an orthodox Christian belief that Mohammed is not a prophet," wrote Erick Erickson, the editor of the conservative website Red State. "Actual Christians, as opposed to many of the supposed Christians put up by the mainstream media, believe that Christ is the only way to salvation. Believing that is slandering Mohammed."
Erickson also saw a double standard in Obama condemning the slander of Mohammed while condemning only the desecration of the image of Christ.
"Note he says we cannot 'slander the prophet of Islam' but it's only the image of Christ in the next sentence – not actually Christ himself desecrated. If this is so, why does Barack Obama's government continue funding the National Endowment for the Arts, which funds Christ in piss, the Virgin Mary painted in dung, etc.?" he said.
Another conservative site that pushes an interpretation of Christian values, Sword at the Ready, accused the president of the apparently contradictory aims of "an all-out attack on faith" while also attempting to appease the Muslim world.
"Since all Islam demands everyone recognize Mohammed as God's true prophet – for the Salafists, Sufis and Shia – anyone who does not acknowledge the prophet is considered not only an infidel – but slander the prophet by their refusal to submit to him," it said. "Obama knows this having been raised a Muslim in Indonesia. His speech at the UN was an all-out assault on not only freedom of speech, but of faith. In cleverly cloaked words to deceive ignorant Americans, key phrases ping the ears that the Muslim world will understand what Obama really means."
John Bolton, the former US ambassador to the UN and arch conservative, derided Obama for "moral equivalence" for allegedly suggesting that the anti-Islam film was equally as offensive as the killings that followed it.
"It was like a great big warm fuzzy blanket. The president comes out in favour of tolerance. There's your breaking news," Bolton told Fox News. "The problem with the speech was that it was infused with the fallacy of moral equivalency – that there's sort of extremism and intolerance everywhere and it's all the same."
Obama also sought to defend the US from criticism in the Arab world that it did not ban the offending video on the grounds of the constitutional protection of free speech.
"Here in the United States, countless publications provoke offence. Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs. Moreover, as president of our country, and commander-in-chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will always defend their right to do so. Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views – even views that we disagree with," he said.
While that statement may be open to challenge on several levels, including the claim that the US has defended free speech around the globe, Erickson attacked it on the grounds that in criticising the offending video the president was intruding on the rights of those who made it.
"Just words, Mr President? You say 'there is no speech that justifies mindless violence', but all last week you condemned a ridiculous video trailer for a movie that does not exist. Your government ran advertisements in Pakistan denouncing the video. What of free speech, Mr President? Last week you were saying the violence was understandable given the offensive film and this week you are trying to claim it was mindless," he wrote.

'Things were shaking': Powerful earthquake rocks remote Alaska island

By Reuters

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A powerful earthquake rocked one of the few inhabited islands in Alaska's Aleutian chain on Wednesday, but no damage has been found, federal and local officials said.


The magnitude 6.9 quake, centered 80 miles southwest of Adak, struck at 3:40 p.m. local time (7.40 p.m. ET), the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center said. No tsunami warning was issued, but scientists will monitor the area for any possible earthquake-related waves, center        Director Paul Whitmore said.
In Adak, a community of about 330, "We definitely felt it," City Manager Layton Lockett said.
The building that houses city offices and the local school, engineered to withstand frequent earthquakes that strike the region, performed as designed, Lockett said.
."You could just hear the building move, and things were shaking," he said.
No damage was found, though officials were concerned about the fate of underground pipes, he said. The school, which has about 20 students, was out of session at the time.
Adak, an island city about 1,300 miles southwest of Anchorage, is a converted U.S. Navy station that once housed 6,000 people. It now operates as a port and seafood-processing center serving the North Pacific commercial fishing fleet.
Other moderate earthquakes have struck western Alaska in recent days, according to the center.
A magnitude 4.9 quake was recorded 90 miles west of the Alaska Peninsula town of Cold Bay on Tuesday. A magnitude 5.2 quake about 90 miles southwest of Kodiak was recorded on Sept. 18.

I am a Seventh-Gay Adventist


Eliel Cruz

Posted: 09/25/2012 7:44 pm


Christianity and homosexuality have always been perceived to be two separate worlds. Like oil and water, they didn't seem to quite mix, one always seemingly contradicting the other. That is why it felt like the ground was taken from underneath my feet when I realized I was queer. Surely I couldn't be into the same sex -- I was a Christian, and a Seventh-day Adventist at that. I was 13 and terrified. It wasn't until years later and much time spent fervently researching scripture and reading articles by respected thought leaders and Biblical scholars that I was able to reconcile my faith and sexuality. I am a young Seventh-day Adventist, bisexual male -- and that's not an oxymoron, yet it still is an everyday struggle as I continue wrestle with how to follow both my faith and my heart.
This summer, I watched a film that covers this very ground. I had the privilege of attending a private screening of the newly released documentary Seventh-Gay Adventists: A film about faith on the margins. Seventh-Gay Adventists documents the lives of three couples who identify as members of both the queer community and the very conservative Seventh-day Adventist faith community.
The Seventh-Gay Adventists story is my story.
I grew up Seventh-day Adventist. I have only attended Adventist-affiliated educational institutions and have grown up immersed in the Adventist culture. Adventism is a lot more than just a set of beliefs -- it's an entire culture and identity. It's not uncommon for an Adventist young person (or adult) to really only know other Adventists, and the idea of leaving, even if you have good reason to, like being a marginalized LGBT member, would be as difficult as trying to change my orientation. I want both my queer community and my church community to know -- this is me. I am a bisexual person of faith. It's who I am.
First, a little history. Seventh-day Adventism grew out of Methodism and the Millerite movement and dates back to the 1800's. In addition to anticipating the Second Advent of Jesus Christ, a distinguishing belief is keeping Sabbath on Saturday, the seventh day of the week. Adventists keep Sabbath much more like Jews than like other Christians, and the rhythm, belief and community around Sabbath is a core component of this faith. And then there are a host of other cultural traditions -- like (mostly) being vegetarian, abstaining from alcohol, tobacco, dancing, sometimes even caffeine and movies. It's a unique faith community.
While the Adventist church has a lot of distinctive beliefs and traditions, when it comes to homosexuality, it's as condemning of same-gender relationships as other conservative denominations. The church's official statement says that "sexual intimacy belongs only within the marital relationship of a man and a woman."* Many of our churches paint themselves homophobic, casting queer members out of the churches, queer students from academies, and leaving no room for real conversation. Yet there are those of us who fight through the persecution, sitting weekly in the pews to have fellowship with our fellow Christian brethren. As Pastor Marcos Apolonio, a main subject in the Seventh-Gay Adventists film puts it, "We pay a very high price to keep our faith."
Adventists, as well as many Christian denominations, have continually attempted to sweep homosexuality under the proverbial rug. "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" has infected our congregations. The discriminatory and homophobic policies and practices that we see all around us have their roots in our churches, which is deeply ironic, given that Jesus' entire life and mission was about love, a love so profound that he was willing to die to demonstrate its depths.
Well, I believe that it's time for Christianity to come out of the closet of close-mindedness. It's time to admit that "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" hasn't worked. Preaching fear and ignorance hasn't worked. All that the status quo has produced is extreme divisiveness and the shocking statistic that Christian LGBT youth are four times more likely to commit suicide. Think about that for a moment.
And, as Brian McLaren points out in his introduction to Andrew Marin's Love is an Orientation, "Jesus didn't say, 'They'll know you are my disciples by your firm stance on divisive social issues.'"
One of my favorite moments in Seventh-Gay Adventists is when one of the main subjects quotes Pablo Neruda: "You can pick all of the flowers, but you can't stop the spring." This is what we, the LGBT Adventists, are telling our church. You can try to keep picking all of the flowers, but spring is coming.
That spring can include room for all of us, but it takes true dialogue and respect. For too long fear of the Other, fear of the unknown, fear of being wrong, fear of the proverbial slippery slope has kept dialogue from happening. Ghandi said, "The enemy is fear. We think it's hate; but, it is fear." It is fear that has kept conversation from taking place and fear that will keep us from equality in our churches.
But that is changing. More and more people, particularly of my generation, are standing up and sharing their stories. Films like Seventh-Gay Adventists are spurring a new type of discussion through the stories of people that many of us (in the queer community and the Adventist church) didn't acknowledge or respect. It's a stepping stone for us all to practice what we preach. Can we be known by our love?**
Seventh-Gay Adventists is currently screening at LGBT film festivals (including the Southwest Gay & Lesbian Film festival, the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film festival in October), and it's also coming to New York City on October 13th.
What I appreciate most is that this film is helping bridge the gap between the faith and LGBT communities. It's helping gay people of faith see stories of others who also have to reconcile their faith and sexuality, and, even more importantly, it's helping conservative churches start realizing that they have people like me sitting in their pews.
As a young Adventist, I envision a day where, not just the Adventist church, but Christianity as a whole, will wholeheartedly participate in an actual dialogue where we listen before judging. We may not always agree, but we have to start listening and respecting each other. There should never have to be a choice between faith and sexuality. For those LGBTQIA people that are brave enough to stay in the pews of your churches for fellowship and worship, thank you. To the rest of you in the neighboring pews, please just listen. That's all I ask. Our lives literally depend on how we proceed with this conversation.

Out of the cities, is my message at this time


In the future cities will certainly feel the terrible results of earthquakes and fires. Cities will be destroyed by flood and by lightnings. Out of the cities, is my message at this time.

Be assured that the call is for our people to locate miles away from the large cities....Do not establish institutions in the cities, but seek a rural location. The call is, "come out from among them, and be ye separate" [2 Corinthians 6:17]. The very atmosphere of the cities is polluted. Let your schools be established away from the cities, where agricultural and other industries can be carried on.

The Lord calls for His people to locate away from the cities, for in such an hour as ye think not, fire and brimstone will be rained from heaven upon these cities. Proportionate to their sins will be their visitation. When one city is destroyed, let not our people regard this matter as a light affair and think that they may, if favorable opportunity offers, build themselves homes in that same destroyed city....

Let all who would understand the meaning of these things read the eleventh chapter of Revelation. Read every verse, and learn the things that are yet to take place in the cities. Read also the scenes portrayed in the eighteenth chapter of the same book.

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues" [Revelation 18:4]. It will not be to the credit of any who believe the word of the prophecies of this book to ignore the special indications of God and show indifference in regard to this wonderful display of the power of God because of the sins of...[San Francisco, which was] recently destroyed. The Lord forbids that those who have witnessed this great destruction shall make light of the matter and flatter themselves that in the future they will have buildings far in advance of any buildings they have yet had, for, if those who have felt the rebuke of God shall set themselves defiantly to invest their means as they have done, God will exercise His power to counteract their efforts....

Unbelief has taken possession of men who have been warned in regard to the seducing influence of Satan's working and the methods of his work, yet who have taken no heed. They are of a party that will give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Where is this party that will depart from the faith?--Consider this: Do not place in charge of your important work, or even of the less important enterprises, those who will lead minds away from the truth which is to decide the destiny of souls....Place not men in positions of Holy office who will not listen to God's counsel concerning His way and His will. There are influences working mightily against the very work God requires to be done.

Manhattan Adventist Church Remembers World Trade Center Tragedy



.
Submitted: Sep 11, 2012
By AT News Team
Updated Sept. 13, 2012

The Seventh-day Adventist Church located nearest ground zero for the “9-11” terrorist attack that brought down the World Trade Center and caused the deaths of nearly 3,000 people conducted “A Night of Remembrance” Tuesday evening. “Vocalists, a cellist and other gifted musicians and poets,” ten all together, participated in "an evening of peace … in memory of those who lost their lives,” said Pastor Tony Romeo. Two were actors who work regularly on Broadway.

Located in a historic building in the Greenwich Village neighborhood in lower Manhattan, the church is literally a few yards from streets that were filled with police, fire fighters, and emergency medical personnel on that bright, September morning. It was the worst moment in recent American history and Adventist volunteers opened the church to provide respite and refreshments that day.

“Two candles were lit,” Romeo described the evening. “Songs were so(u)ng and [there was] a prayer for peace.” The event was simple, quiet and dignified. Following the concert, there was food and the sharing of stories. The general public from the West Village area was invited and more than 125 people showed up. Catholics, Jews, Hindus, people of all faiths participated, including "many people with no faith," the pastor told Adventist Today. "Many suggested they want to join us for worship on Saturday morning ... some of whom said that they had lived in the village for 20 years and never set foot in our church and loved it."

The Manhattan Adventist Church is located at 232 West 11th Street, just one and a half blocks west of Seventh Avenue South. Romeo is a New York City native who worked on Madison Avenue in the advertising industry before becoming a pastor and church planter.

JUDGE STRIKES DOWN INDEFINITE DETENTION, OBAMA APPEALS



Judge Strikes Down Indefinite Detention, Obama Appeals
By Pete Papaherakles
On September 12, civil liberties advocates sighed in relief as U.S. Judge Katherine Forrest permanently struck down indefinite detention provisions of the notorious National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This blatant violation of Americans’ constitutional liberties is law no more, although an appeal is still possible.
Judge Forrest ruled that the law was unconstitutional. “First Amendment rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and cannot be legislated away,” the judge wrote. “This court rejects the government’s suggestion that American citizens can be placed in military detention indefinitely for acts they could not predict might subject them to detention.”
According to an article in RT, “Only hours after Judge Forrest issued last week’s ruling, the Obama administration threatened to appeal the decision, and on Monday morning they followed through. At around 9 a.m. Monday, September 17, the White House filed an emergency stay in federal appeals court in an effort to have the Second Circuit strip away Judge Forrest’s ruling from the week earlier.”
Section 1021 of the NDAA, which contained the controversial provisions, would have allowed for indefinitely detaining U.S citizens without the right of habeas corpus. This right is so fundamental to the Constitution that it was one of the main causes for the American War of Independence. Habeas corpus, which translates as “you shall have the body,” states that an accused person must be physically brought before a judge with a statement demonstrating sufficient cause for arrest.
The Continental Congress held King George III accountable for his failure to enforce this basic human right. Yet in 2012 our own government saw fit to deprive its own citizens of this same right in the name of fighting terrorism. By redefining what a terrorist is, theDepartment of Homeland Security would have potentially been able to indefinitely detain any American without formally charging him of a specific crime.
The NDAA had been challenged earlier this year by journalists, scholars and political activists including Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg and Naomi Wolf. A temporary injunction had already been placed on the provision by Judge Forrest in May. Hedges, a Pulitzer prize winner and former New York Times war correspondent, led the challenge with a lawsuit against the bill in January. The plaintiffs testified in court that they had no assurance that their writing and advocacy activities could not be deemed “terrorism.”
The provision subjected to indefinite detention anyone who “substantially” or “directly” provided “support” to terrorists. Judge Forrest questioned how “substantial support” can be determined. “That’s no small question” she said. “It’s a question about defining an individual’s core liberties.”
She questioned the criteria and the methods the government would use to determine if an article or video posted to the Internet “substantially supported” the terrorists or even how to distinguish between “modest” and “substantial” support.
“In short, the court can find no authority in domestic law or the law of war, nor can the government point to any, to justify the concept of ‘support’ as a valid ground for detention” she said.
Plaintiffs’ lawyer Bruce Afran called the ruling “historic” and said it was rare in the last half century that a judge would declare a federal statute unconstitutional for directly intruding on speech.

 Hebrews 10:26-27
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.


 Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

 Revelation 3:16
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

 Speaking from experience, I used to believe this false, man-made doctrine as well so don't feel bad. The reason I defended it so much was because I was living in sin and didn't think it was possible to live a holy life. Unfortunately for me, at the time, I was actually a goat and not a true convert in Jesus Christ. Now that I know the truth that is Christ Jesus I can fully understand why people defend it... because they're living in sin.


We need to separate ourselves from the world and seek out God w/ all our heart, soul, strength, and mind to fully understand His word. 2 Corinthians 6:17, Mark 12:30 W/o His guidance we will surely hold onto man-made religions/doctrines/gospels.

We will soon be leaving on our Fall Seminar Trip.  Here is an idea of what to expect at one of these incredibly practical seminars.
Seminar Promo Video (get a taste of what our seminars are about and why)
   
About the Seminars and Mini-Expo Style Booths
What will you do when, for whatever reason, you do not have electricity?  Will you be able to get water from your well?  Do you even have your own water source?  Will you be able to keep your home warm?   Will you be dependent on the grocery store for food?  These are the most basic physical necessities of life, and they are topics that are just as applicable to those currently living in the country as to city dwellers.  In the last century, almost everyone in America has become completely dependent for even these most basic necessities.
In our seminars and booths, you will first learn why a simpler, prepared lifestyle is so important--not only from a physical perspective, but also from a spiritual standpoint.  With that foundation, we delve into the practical "how to do it" kinds of topics.  We will be exploring how you can become as independent as possible for the basic necessities of life--water, shelter, and food. How you can not only survive, but also thrive! So that you can be a help and blessing to others in the days ahead. And so you can be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.
In addition to essential seminars with vital info on how to provide for life's basic necessities, we are adding an exciting interactive segment with expo style booths at many locations on this trip.  Please see each individual location's page for details.  Examples of topics and interactive booths/demos include:
  • Renewable Energy Systems
  • Have Your Own Year Round Grocery Store at Home
  • Independent Water Systems
  • What to Look for in Land or a Homestead
  • Heating with Wood
  • Live Canning & Bread Making Demos
  • Health Preparedness 
  • Natural Remedies Live Demos

Anti-jihad 'savage' ads going up in NYC subway

Updated September 20, 2012, 6:01 p.m. ET

NEW YORK — Ads that call some radical Muslims "savage" are going to be posted in the New York City subway system next week. Conservative blogger Pamela Geller won a court order that allowed her to put the ads up Monday in 10 subway stations. New York transit officials had initially refused to run the ad, calling it "demeaning."

The ad reads: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."

Geller — who once campaigned against a planned Islamic center near ground zero — says she isn't concerned that the ads will spark violent protests that have rocked the Middle East over an anti-Islamic film.

New York Muslim leaders called the ad hate speech. The ad has also appeared on San Francisco buses.

Florida Family Targeted by Community Over Home Bible Study

    Florida Family Targeted by Community Over Home Bible Study
Another U.S. community is fining a family for the “crime” of conducting a home Bible study without getting the proper permits. Shane and Marlene Roessiger face a fine of $250 a day from Venice, Florida, after city officials determined that the couple were conducting an unauthorized “house of worship” at their residence because of the Bible study that brings six to ten individuals there each Friday night.
According to the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), the California-based legal advocacy group that is representing the couple in the legal proceedings, the Roessigers have a small Christian outreach called In Him Healing Touch Ministries. When they started the ministry the Roessigers chose to get their mail at home instead of renting a post office box. Now, “Venice Code Enforcement officials are using the listing of the residence as the ministry's address to build a case against the Roessigers,”explained PJI. “In addition to prayer and Bible study, the ministry has food outreaches in the community and engages in foreign missions work. The latter includes ministering to people living in garbage dumps through providing meals and religious services.”
The import of such civic outreach, however, does not seem to penetrate the hearts or minds of Venice officials, who are fining the couple $250 daily for violating zoning laws by holding the weekly Bible studies. PJI's president, Brad Dacus, told Fox News that such a heavy-handed reaction is completely out of line. “It’s a weekly Bible study,” he emphasized. “It’s the same kind of Bible study that occurs in households across America.” He noted that city officials are “having a specific problem with this family solely because they are having family and friends over to read the Bible and pray. That may be fine in some tyrannical parts of the world. That is not okay in the United States of America.”
Kevin Snider, the PJI attorney handling the case, informed the city's Code Enforcement Board that the Roessigers have since changed the mailing address for the ministry so that it is no longer listed at their home. Nonetheless, the couple intends to continue using their home for prayer and Bible study. Shane Roessiger said he is having a difficult time understanding “how it is illegal to have a prayer meeting on Friday night with a half dozen people, but it is alright if I invited the same group on Monday evening to watch Monday night Football.”
As the Roessigers' case has gained media attention across the nation, the city of Venice has made the unusual move of continuing the matter “indefinitely,” keeping the couple in legal limbo. And in the most recent development, following the couple's last hearing before the Code Enforcement Board, city officials issued the Roessigers another citation — this time for having a small sign in their yard that reads, “Need Prayer.” and lists their ministry phone number. The fine for the “illegal” sign is $250 a day.
The Roessigers are by no means the only family to be targeted by overzealous city officials on the lookout for “scoff-laws” who overlook rigid — and arbitrarily enforced — zoning laws and choose to conduct informal worship gatherings in their homes. As reported by The New American, a couple in San Capistrano, California — a city that boasts a Catholic chapel from the Spanish mission days in the 1700s still used for Mass — was fined $300 last year for holding Bible studies and Christian get-togethers in their home. And earlier this year a Phoenix pastor was fined $12,000 and jailed for 60 days after he refused to shut down a weekly Bible study on his property.
As for the Roessigers' conflict with the city of Venice, Florida, the PJI's Brad Dacus told Focus on the Family's CitizenLink: “This nation was built upon people being able to gather, pray, and have Bible studies in their homes. Many churches are founded upon that as the beginning of their churches. For cities to be allowed to get away with this is totalitarian.”
Dacus said that his group would not “stand idly by while local governments run over families for having these types of religious gatherings in the privacy of their own homes. If cities want to fine people and drag them into court or before other tribunals for having prayer meetings, we will be waiting for them.”
