Doesn't take rocket science to figure out if they have Delta Force surrounding the place that they are preparing for an assault. So, when the CIA send in their Adam Lanzas, all armed with a heat seeking missiles, and shurikens, my young people won't be there. JG, come closer to the screen, read this carefully, IF THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL, THEN GOING TO BIG BOX CHURCHES AND MONSTER EVENTS ISN'T A GOOD IDEA. Got it? You are the one beating this tin drum, boy.

Bumping and quoting this because it's the smartest thing I've seen in this whole thread. Common sense, folks.

Regardless, What do you think persecution looks like anyways? Do you really think you can stop and prevent persecution for his name sake if it is meant to be in your church? (Rhetorical question, not directed to you EB)

Persecution is not the same as lone nutjobs shooting up a church. You are certainly welcome to not take any steps to protect your congregation but I think that is foolish. Just my opinion and you certainly are entitled to yours. God has given us a brain to use and hopefully common sense. Having a plan to protect the congregation is just using both of those things.

The pacifists logic reminds me of the old joke about the man who is caught in terrible flooding and as the water rises a neighbor driving out offers him a ride but the man declines saying that God will rescue him. As the water reached the second story of his home a man in a boat came by and offered him a ride to safety but the man declined again saying that God would rescue him. Finally the rising water drove him to the roof of his house at which point a rescue helicopter came and hovered overhead and through a bullhorn told him they were there to rescue him. The man again declined and said God would save him. The water rose and the man drowned. When he stood at the pearly gates he was shocked and said "Lord, what happened? I had faith but you didn't rescue me???!!!!" To which the Lord replied "what are you talking about? I sent you a truck, a boat, and a helicopter!".

If you are a target then you need not be a target.
House church, and home school.

Amazing to find out you are all sitting ducks at church. Just everyone sitting around just waiting for Joe Assassin to walk in to spray and pray. Well, take my advice, small house churches around the city, or town. Won't have to worry about someone coming in during the altar call with their ArmaLite tactical blazing!
