This sounds exactly like something Jesus would do.

FTA: "As far as this church being against gays, that's absurdity. There are 18 people in this church who have been delivered, they're not homosexual anymore, but if they were they could still stay in the church," she said.

Not homosexual anymore.. suuuuure.

And then I pull out my gun!

There are 18 people in this church who have been delivered

The word you're looking for is "brainwashed". And there are a fark of a lot more than 18 of them in your church I assure you.

I'm tempted to say something thoroughly sacrilegious.

Part of the reason it's so hard for me to find a decent date, living in North Carolina. Come on closet cases. Think of your fellow homosexuals. You may be denying some special someone out there your loving companionship.

I give you permission. I have the authority, I'm from the internet.

"So, were you filled with Christ?"

"Oh, yes. He was HUGE!"

I like it. You get +5 sin points.

I would say the word is "lying" so that they can remain a part of the church community without having to go through further exorcisms.

TofuTheAlmighty: "As far as this church being against gays, that's absurdity. There are 18 people in this church who have been delivered, they're not homosexual anymore, but if they were they could still stay in the church," she said.Way to shred your already-negligible credibility.

Once you have convinced yourself that eternal hellfire awaits you, there is nothing you can't excuse in the name of your faith. That is why religions are so questionable as moral authority to any rational person.

ChipNASA: Yeah, like no one in the Church is gay or a HUGE Pedophile. .

because they're totally the same thing ,amirite?

/not because of this

"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." (Matt. 6:6)

These are the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. What is immediately obvious to us is His direction to go into the closet and shut the door. What we do not see right away in this Renaissance English translation is that in the original Aramaic the word "schlesht" referred to a secured place in a large house or compound. Often these would lock from the outside so valuables could be secured and left. Indeed, the expression "shut thy door" says.....other things....

He is to be locked in the closet and he should pray until he is restored. If he is free to run the streets he might well gay someone.

Lowry claims that he was kept in a church dormitory for months in 2011 after telling church members he was gay, according to the Charlotte Observer.

He was over 18. That's a lawsuit.

See Jason Scott v. Cult Awareness Network, the results of the lawsuit forced the Cult Awareness Network into bankruptcy and its assets were bought by $cientology, and is now an apparent $cientology front group.

wellreadneck: Ever notice that when a foul cock-sucking demon is driven out, he never seems to take the lisp with him?

I'm stealing this.

letrole: Homosexuality is a Learned Behaviour. The instinct for sex involves thrusting and groping and kissing and so forth. If you get horny at the sight of a naked man, or if you get horny at the sight of a naked woman, it is only because you have been taught to make that association.

Hey, LeTrole, I keep asking you for your nude pics, but you never send them to me. I'm getting the feeling you've been teasing me.

Dogsbody: WWJB? Who Would Jesus Beat?

Bankers...

Peter: Wow, is that really the blood of Christ?
Preacher: Yes, it is.
Peter: Holy crap, that guy must've been wasted 24 hours a day.

HOPEFULLY this case will go better than most of the other cases where folks have been unlawfully imprisoned by dominionists in churches.

Admittedly, almost all the other cases involve kids, and this involves someone over 18, and this is a criminal rather than a civil suit. With the case being in the Southeast, though, I always worry about the possibility that it'll be held up for years and punishment whittled away until a pro-dominionist sympathetic judge is found (a la the Laura Schubert case--which the Assemblies of God tied up in the court system for fourteen years in appeals until the verdict was outright tossed by the Texas Supreme Court--and in part by a judge that has been particularly notorious as being "pro-Bible-based-cult" in his rulings (he also pretty much was responsible for the lawsuit by ex-FLDS members against Warren Jeffs being thrown out in Texas). Still, though, it's notoriously difficult to get charges against "Bible-based" coercive religious groups, even in cases of frank religiously motivated child abuse.
