I remember not very long ago, within the past year, a few on here mocked that Christians would face this kind of persecution due to the SSM issue. Well, it's happening, and she could end up in jail for it.

Is this still America? Land of the "free," where you were given the Constitutional provision of "free exercise" of religion? Not just the freedom to believe your faith, but the freedom to exercise your faith.
this isn't the test case. that already happened to that couple in OR that are now on the hook for $130,000 to hand over to a lesbian couple they wouldn't make a wedding cake for. then were told to SHUT UP by the state of OR or face contempt charges and get tossed in jail.

THAT was the test case.

This is a state official not following the law. I hate that but that's the simple truth.


Now what would be cool, is if the community came out and stood in front of the town hall and wouldn't let the idiot progressive activist get in.

and the police refused to arrest her.

Re: Kim Davis

Many consider Kim to be a prophetess who is standing against the ungodly authorities of the U. S. government. She might be a plight to the tax payer, but is she doing the will of God?

I listened to some stuff on the radio today. if she is a prophetess she aint a good one.


"the will of god"

That s an interesting statement. She has been working within the government offering marriage license from the state...

that document CUTS GOD OUT OF MARRIAGE and makes marriage a legally binding agreement between two individuals AND THE STATE.

NOT GOD. God isn't anywhere involved in marriage in the USA these days. I don't care where the ceremony is held, nor who is officiating.

the preacher or the goofball with the internet license ends the "ceremony" with the words By the authority vested in me BY THE STATE OF ________"

and this is after the poor couple have to march down to city hall to beg the government to let them get married....

ALL THAT was IN THE OLD DAYS when gay people couldn't even ask the question.


so.... im having a hard time buying into the notion that "gods will" involves support of cutting him out before but now all the sudden since "thegays" can cut god out, its all bad?

Re: Kim Davis

She is going to lose her job, but she is standing for what she believes.

Is she right? Is she wrong?

When is it right to stand against what is wrong?

Regardless, she is going to pay the price which ultimitely will be that she will lose (according to mans reasoning) by trying to play against a corrupt system.

some idiot in California climmed up in a red wood and lived there for months then fell out of the tree to their death.

did they stand up for what she believes? does anyone care?

if an idiot falls out of a tree in the woods and no one is there to hear, did they scream?

Ms. Davis stands strongly FOR folk coming to with their hand out to the government for PERMISSION to marry.... that being an institution She also believes to be religious?

I would prefer her saying she is a making a stand for the constition and that the court had over stepped its authority and the constitution was her authority.

she would at least be standing for rule of law... which seem to be something she is comfortable with... I mean supportive of law that supplants God anyway.
