Weary of strippers protesting and showing their naked breasts, a church pastor and his flock are suing them in federal court in Columbus.
New Beginnings Ministries in Coshocton County has filed suit against a strip-club owner and the strippers — male and female — who have been protesting topless outside the Warsaw church since 2010.
....
Defendants include Thomas George, owner of the Foxhole strip club in rural Coshocton County. Plaintiffs include William Dunfee, the longtime pastor of New Beginnings.
It’s the latest salvo in a nine-year battle that began when church members protested at Foxhole on weekends, posting customers’ license-plate numbers online and urging them to repent. ... “I haven’t threatened anyone,” George said on Thursday when he learned about the lawsuit from a Dispatch reporter. Dunfee “just don’t like a dose of his own medicine.”
