Re: Bolívia

Evangelism could be banned in Bolivia
The new Penal Code to be approved under President Evo Morales sanctions religious “recruitment” with 5 to 12 years of imprisonment.

Re: Bolívia

Many countries have anti-recruitment laws for religions. Christianity isn't singled out. In South, and Central America governments change like the weather. Communism, Socialism, and down right Plutocracies flourished. Israel had some tough anti-recruitment laws, because Orthodox Judaism hates Christianity, and its want to convert Jews. But the anti-recruitment laws have changed over the years. Yet, Israelis are still told that Missionaries don't have their best interest in mind.

"Proselytizing is legal in the country and missionaries of all religious groups are allowed to proselytize all citizens; however, a 1977 law prohibits any person from offering material benefits as an inducement to conversion. It was also illegal to convert persons under 18 years of age unless one parent were an adherent of the religious group seeking to convert the minor. Despite the legality of proselytism, the government has taken a number of steps that encouraged the perception that proselytizing is against government policy. For example, the MOI has detained individuals suspected of being “missionaries,” and required of such persons bail and a pledge to abstain from missionary activity, in addition to refusing them entry into the country. It maintained denunciations of such activity from antimissionary groups like Yad L'Achim in its border control databases. The MOI has also cited proselytism as a reason to deny student, work, and religious visa extensions, as well as to deny permanent residency petitions. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) promised the Knesset in 1986 to refrain from all proselytism voluntarily in conjunction with receiving a building permit for its Jerusalem Center following protests from the Orthodox community."

That was funny. Maybe the NSA will hear the prayers and we can get a budget increase for the CIA, DEA, and DOD?
