Hey I did what God wanted me too…perhaps a seed was planted….. I’ve obeyed….so now shall we get on with being civil???? I shall pray for you all – can’t stop me from doing that, I’m all the way here… nya nyah lol :weee::love:

I realize there is a big culture gap involved….someday if the money is avail. I’ll be able to actually come there & see for myself.

I am def. growing as a Christian through all of this! Again, I am truly sorry for coming across as abrasive/crazy etc. My intentions were good……

I really AM an ‘interesting’ person once you get to know me – promise! I’m even drinking a beer now! :crazy_dru

you in no-way try to influence anyone, then why do you go there with life taped over your gob? of course your trying to influence people you idiot. IMO you should be banned from this forum for your endless preaching, spamming and total bullshit. go somewhere else we dont need saving or educating by you. i prefered garry denke ffs :you_crazy:

as much as i completely disagree with amy, i don’t think she should be banned as annoying, endless or not she still has a right to voice them, freedom of speech and all that

e.g. the BNP should be allowed to speak – stopping them holding conferences etc. will only give them something to draw sympathy with… however defeating them through exposing their ignorance (as we are doing in this thread, albeit a different issue) defeats and undermines them more thouroughly than silencing them can ever do.

Thanks Boothy.. I think 😉 I do NOT know everything – still doesn’t mean I am wrong. I am a human being who loves/worships Jesus Christ and believes that those who do not will suffer….and I don’t want people to suffer! Let’s just wait and see what the final outcome will be! :weee:

just to be perfectly clear about this

at no point has anyone suggested that she be banned or even edited

so her oh so hysterical bleating about persecution and hatred is total nonsense; dreamt up out of nowhere

okay fair play, maybe i was being a little harsh, but we ban people endlessly spamming who are trying to sell shit, which in my eyes is the same as endlessly spamming trying to sell christianity to me. I dont want it.

Also i dont think the bnp should have freedom of speech. any body that preaches racism/hatred/intolerance etc shouldn’t be allowed to say anything until they have educated themselves IMO. obviously its all subjective what people class as offensive/racist etc, but…

It’s where u go and simply stand outside a clinic with the wod LIFE taped over your mouth….you just silently pray and in no way attempt to influence anyone…THAT is what my church does.

I find the people who try to sell me Sky on the street intimidating, let alone some strange people with a word slapped across their mouth just standing there and looking at me.

He supplies the latter in church, so I don’t see why not. He could send her more of Jesus’ “blood”.

djprocess, you state you don’t want Christianity, which means you don’t want Christ. Therefore nothing I can say/do will chane that. It is your choice made of your own freewill. I am saddened but have no choice but to accept. God does NOT was mindless zombies; He wants people seeking Him with all they’ve got. He will NEVER force people to worship Him.

O-D, I used the wrong word….instead of ‘influence’ I should have said we in no way attempt to PHYSICALLY hinder or block anyone from entering the clinic. It is a real eye-opener to me (and all DBC as well) that in the U.K. you could be ARRESTED for just standing in a back alley, silently praying.

In Evangelical churches they do not have wine……I was raised Catholic but have never agreed with the claim that the wine actually turns into His blood…. it is symbolic, a remembrance. I do not think wine/beer done IN MODERATION is harmful.

whether you’d actually get arrested would be dependent on if the clinics staff or users felt intimidated enough to call 999 and the protestors didn’t move far enough away when requested to do so by the bobbies.

you would get plenty of chances anyway before anyone got nicked. Same goes for any sort of protest here, silent or loud.

Most sexual health clinics in this country – which do not solely provide abortions but a lot of services including some useful to couples wanting to raise a baby (or even men who need to be aware of certain medical conditions) are in suburban streets, not hidden away down alleys.

The clinic isn’t in a back alley….the people doing the silent siege are. They line up on either side of a back entrance where women enter to actually get abortions. The people are expressly advised on what NOT to do – all very legal…..no speaking or acting out…..all that is hoped for is that the women will decide against an abortion and give the child a chance at life…..

in this country and many European nations (other than those where conservative Catholics hold power) this sort of protest would definitely be classed as harrasment. The same as animal rights campaigners trying to protest (silently or otherwise) in the vicinity of science labs etc.

Also, not everyone going to a sexual health clinic here would be there for terminating a pregnancy (especially if they are men!).

Also, before any woman in this country has a pregnancy terminated she and her partner (if they are still together) are encouraged by the NHS professionals to investigate all options including adoption. Several couples/mothers have changed their minds at that point and kept the child or had it adopted.

WOW. That is unbelievable….my pastor’s wife said that the ‘bound For Lifers’ actually wore their ‘LIFE’ tshirts and stood outside the voting location!!!! She was amazed that it would be considered harrassment!

And praise God for the women who choose not to abort!
