So I'm sitting in church and my pastor talks about illegal immigration right at the pulpit. Talking about how the kids of illegal immigrants are locked up in our version of concentration camps.

A lady and her family gets up and storms out. She yells on her way out "That's a political statement!" I will grab the video stream online (we record everything) and post it here. I want y'all to check it out.

interesting

big if she is right

if I'm not mistaken pastors by us law have to avoid talking about politics

have your pastor tell the 9th circuit court of appeals

something to do with how they are taxed

as a non-for-profit organizations

not unique to churches.

The US law can't make any law restricting the speech of the people or practice of religion. That may be a local thing for you, fluff

I remember Thunderf00t called out Anita Sarkezian when she as a non-profit owner tried tell others to vote for Hillary.

if they don't pay federal tax, then it would be on federal level

but i don't know much about it, so don't hold my feet to the fire. i just heard it this way. never really looked into it too deep.

regardless, I'd love to see that video

yeah

Chump_or_Champ what sate are you in?

and is it hot in the church?

My bad. Was driving, @fluff

I'm a Marylander.

no worries. don't discord and drive.

I'm in the especially blue part of the State, so I'm not particularly surprised by the (what I think) partisan statement made on the pulpit.

the especially blue part of the state?? is that in comparison to the faded blue part of the state??

@Chump_or_Champ if you post the stream are you not afraid to doxx yourself? at the very least everyone will know what church you go to...

@J Edgar correct.

@fluff not really. I believe that the company we keep here is largely comprised of good people.

I live a largely squeaky clean life too.

i see

I uhgree with fluff. Actually. I do want to see the video, but don't doxx yourself over it

Plus, I'm not really fond of the idea of living my life in fear.

good point

I hear you guys though. I most certainly did think about it too

Never know what insane person is lurking in the shadows.

yep

Y'all are so considerate. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Lol

if in the future you (or anyone else who is reading this) is concerned about doxxing but still want to publish something you were involved in, just create a different account and use that to post.

I've already been doxxed once. I have the local police made abreast of what I do here, and they have my private phone number

My supervisor understand that there may be a time where we have to part ways to save face for the company

maybe Matt will include your church video tomorrow. sometimes it's nice to see things that happen in your own town. it's also nice to see what fellow fans of the show encounter or have to deal with.

@fluff that's primarily my reason for sharing. I don't really think we're the type of community to harass my pastor and church friends for saying something stupid. Everyone does it, everyone has to deal with the blowback.
