Then, they should be put in stocks, while every church member comes by with a pie and throws it in their face. Townspeople should throw rotten vegetables at them.
A picture should be taken of this and put in a full-page ad, with a caption from the Pastor's "We are 'criminals.'"
They should be voted out as Pastor's, be forced to close their business and sell their homes. A cardboard box in the alley behind main street would be too good for them!
Not enough blood for you? Maybe they should be caned, whipped and beated with rods!
Yes! Give us blood! Forgiveness is so early church. We want vengence!
