Don't worry about it. The right call everyone who doesn't agree with them a communist!  They have no arguments, just name calling and trying to humiliate people!!

Invite them in . Offer them a cup of tea and some scones and then try and convert them away from their evil cult.

This may come as a shock to you, but there are conscientious objectors who are not Christians, and there are Christians who base their religion on more than the Bible.\n\nGo talk to your Sunday school teacher about this, and leave us out of it.

you need to take initiaticve and do it yourself.  Then present to your level of co-workers, let them have aome input.  Then present to the higer-ups.  or you can ask the higer-up to giv eyou a crack at it (which they would perfer, i'm sure, but since they are unorganized....)\nDo they have a board of diorector?  These are the folks who ususally are responsible for such an act.

Hi bellbree,\n\n I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church. I was somewhat acquainted with the structure as it was always mentioned in the newspaper's community section. Known as "The loft," folks would gather there on Thursday evenings for poetry readings. \nHowever, this day happened to be a Saturday afternoon and a pair of gentlemen greeted me as I walked by. They invited me inside to sample an hour of their presentation. Ok, I went inside and found myself to be a prospective new recruit for their brand of religion. \n\nMost of the pews were filled with hooded monks chanting a haunting rhythm. There were others who like me, were wearing their regular denims. The service began like most other church-goers would be familiar with. A grand master of ceremonies led the group through some songs and gave a sermon. Near the end of the hour it was time for their ritual of "laying on of the hands." Some of the parishioners would come forward and ask for prayers for their ailments or for a sick grand mum who fell down in the tub. All the hooded dudes whose faces could not readily be seen would all place a hand on the person and their combined energies were presumed to have a strength and expedite a solution to the problem. \n\nOK now, there was another new guy in the pews who was watching eagerly. I recognized Mark W. Reinhold from the wanted poster at the post office. When he saw a chance, he approached the ring of conspirators and described how he was never able to settle down. The hooded goons closed in upon him, all to make a physical connection. The master of ceremonies began a prayer, a dogmatic mix of logic and pure hocus-pocus. I immediately saw the effects as the tension went out of Mark's body. When the beseeching was near an end, the master asked, "Are the brothers ready?" \n\nA suspenseful few moments passed until he almost shouted, "NOW!" \n\nOn that cue, the brothers began to pummel their hapless victim. Continually delivering blows over head and to the solar plexus until Mark was down on the floor getting stomped. After another minute, the grand Pooh-Bah decided the treatment administered was sufficient to induce a relaxing calm that would assuage the nervousness in Mark for a long, long time. \n\nI can't say for certain that Mark W. Reinhold was apprehended and locked up because, I had a loaf of bread to buy and some other errands to do that day. I hope for you bellbree, that you find a sense of closure to this bad episode of life. \n\n-Bryce

If Jesus and his apostles were here today, what do you think they would be doing? They would be preaching from house to house, telling others about God and his righteous Kingdom. How would you treat them? Would you listen to their life-saving message with an open mind or would you slam the door in their faces and tell them--"sorry, I have my own religion."  Think about that the next time those who are following Jesus' command and example try to tell you about God"s heavenly government and what wonderful blessings it will bring to the earth and all meek ones who inherit it.

Nope. None at all. It's the Chinese Communists that should be feared. They're the ones torturing them because any group with more people than the Party could become stronger than the Party.

Hi Stan,\nI met the theRoomate once, a few weekends ago. I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church.

Probably Pentecostal Christans praying over the area. They are only semi-dangerous, as long as you don't dare speak to them.

Your church should already have guidelines of who should be allowed to be near the children. \n\nMy church has a background check done on all people that want to work with the children.  We also have teams of two workers per each class.  We try to have more women than men work with the children.\n\nAfter classes are done, it is the parents responsibility to keep an eye on their children.  We return their children directly to the parent and don't just let the children loose to roam the church grounds.\n\nWith rules and guidelines in place, a prison ministry should be fine.  Pedophiles are required to let the town they move to know about their background.  You can check your local listings.  They will have a picture of the person and the crime they have committed. \n\nAs a parent, I know there is always potential danger to my children.  Even at church.  The church is supposed to open it's arms to the world in love.  Not everyone that attends has Christ on their minds.

Are you asking for permission from the owners of the film or the leaders of your church?

Try and get security cameras installed around the church.  Make sure they are installed so they will catch any tag numbers of vehicles.  Once you have tag numbers on video tape, you've got 'em.  If you turn this info. over to the authorities, the vandals will probably have to complete community service or pay a stiff fine.  Personally, I think it would be much more funny to see them cleaning toilets at the local park to work of their sentence.

If they are going to continue to knock on doors they need to change their policy on dealing with pedophiles within their organization.  \n\nCurrently they require members making accusations against other members to use what is known as the "two witness rule".  One member can't simply accuse another...they need another witness.  The problem is that most pedophiles don't commit their crimes in front of other people so there is never a 2nd witness.\n\nJW's are not encouraged to tell the authorities because it could "bring reproach" on the JW name and they can't have that happen.\n\nMembers who tell the police anyway have ended up being shunned for not obeying the elders and speaking against another member.  The attacker in many cases is actually treated like the victim by the church.\n\nMy point being...If you are going to come to MY neighborhood and knock on MY door and potentially come in contact with MY child....then clean out your house and stop protecting the pedophiles !
