Regretfully we may of posted signs in the "wrong" places,{along w/numerous other postings}but our message is plain and clear, God's love is to ALL who call upon His name! Concerning our "pros-lytzing", it is part of what God calls us to do, a practice of our faith. If one doesn't wish to hear, then say so! We have found something WONDERFUL in Jesus Christ! We only wish to share it. Our critics may hate our message, be they straight or gay, for whatever reason, but we are not giving up! And this man ain't shutting up until the Lord calls him home. God bless you all. Michael T.

It's good that the campaign exists, but its motto is patently wrong - an honest reading of the NT (AKA Christian Scripture) will make it clear that Jesus DID discriminate.<BR/><BR/>As someone who has been proselytized to (or at) many times by members of Jesus MCC, I find it grossly offensive and inherently anti-Semitic.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that Mr. Gold is nothing but an apostate, a Christian of Jewish birth who falsely claims to be a Jew while practicing Christianity.Holly in Cincinnatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211325806257139685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1151511994063740682006-06-28T11:26:00.000-05:002006-06-28T11:26:00.000-05:00Your comments are welcome, but let's try to avoid personal attacks--please.Gary R.

Ain't that cute?<BR/><BR/>It's sort of strange to hear some of the same things I've said in the past (self-appointed leaders jumping in front of TV cameras) coming out of Ted's mouth, but I don't think it applies here as well as to some other groups and events.<BR/><BR/>While I'm happily agnostic/reformed/Catholic/mock Hindu in my spiritual beliefs, I'm not offended by Jesus MCC's evangelism. I've held religious conversations with members but never felt I was getting the hard sell I've received from Jehovah's Witnesses and such who refuse to leave my doorstep. <BR/><BR/>And I'd love to see an actual example of the church "speaking for the whole community" because I certainly haven't seen that in any of their press or news articles about this campaign. If Ted were a real journalist he'd cite something specific to back up his charge.<BR/><BR/>Maybe he should stick to covering events at the Unicorn club and the 501. That's a bit more his speed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1151509298223859392006-06-28T10:41:00.000-05:002006-06-28T10:41:00.000-05:00when will the pettiness ever stop? when we present a publicly divided community, it makes it very easy to play us against each other.<BR/><BR/>i've said it before, i'll say it again. they (the folks actively seeking to pass laws) have at least an aircraft carrier, if not a whole fleet. we are in a rowboat and can't even paddle all at once, let alone in the same direction!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1151509091424604192006-06-28T10:38:00.000-05:002006-06-28T10:38:00.000-05:00Sadly, the Word (actually it's just Ted and not some group of employees, or any other group of people) is again playing games.<BR/><BR/>I suspect he's still reeling from the lashing he got over the Kiser mess he stirred up, and this is yet another effort to strike back at the GLBT community for what it said about him on AI a few months ago<BR/><BR/>Ted is saddly pathetic, and his advertising circular, the Word, continues to be an embarrassment for our community.<BR/><BR/>It's best just to ignore him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1151508053890553902006-06-28T10:20:00.000-05:002006-06-28T10:20:00.000-05:00I, for one, welcomed the signs for making people think about their<BR/>religious convictions.<BR/><BR/>That being said, it sounds like someone at the Word has a personal beef with Jesus MCC. Sign placement aside, what they are doing isn't hurting anyone. <BR/><BR/>I can attest that we've been proslytized numerous times from members from Jesus MCC. I take it with a grain of salt, and politely decline their invitations to visit their church. Sometimes our rejection is taken courteously, sometimes not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
