How many apostolics have the same attitude even here on AFF?
Bless God I'll just shoot them!
What happened to the message of peace?
I said on another thread that the after effects of a shooting is more than some want to deal with!
The negative of this situation is going to radiate out for a long time in that city and that county.
Every time this minister and his wife try to reach someone now that is going to be hanging over their head.
Could you have imagined if she had actually shot that other woman?
Some here like the Louis Lamour idea of quick draw mcgraw in the church but the actual fallout is a whole lot bigger than they think.

If you think a church having security measures in any way equates to some idiot pastors wife grabbing her gun to "handle" something then you go to church with people a lot stupider than I do.
A stupid person can do a stupid thing anytime anywhere regardless of any official policy. Saying churches should not have security because of this woman is like saying people should not drive cars because drunk drivers kill people.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
