Sickening intrusion of evangelism into a Druid's life

[BurtWorm]

The following is a letter sent by an Officer Stewart of the Greer (SC) PD to a couple of Druid priests he and his partner stopped after Stewart spotted a bumper sticker saying "It's a Druid Thing" on their car. It's clear that Stewart, who's just a reserve cop, was out to get some fresh meat for his church.

My own free will became my worst enemy and stubbornness and pride also worked against me. Thank God that people were continually sent to be in my crossroads. Last Friday night I was sent to be in your crossroads. You see, my passion is not to wear a badge and enforce man's law. Instead it's to be where I need to be for people like you. Yes, I do enforce Caesar's law, but I care far more about following Jesus Christ who came to make a way to him through faith and not by works or laws.

In your case, Jesus has reached out to you through me to say that he wants your attention. Chances are that he sent this intercession after hearing the prayers of someone for your welfare. Maybe it was your prayers, or maybe it was a loved one or friend who cares for you. But he did send intercession. Now, you must respond without delay and without excuses.

I see from your bumper stickers and from your testimony that are a druid priest. I am not familiar with the Druids enough to make conversation. But I am ordained in the Baptist church. And for whatever reason, God is calling you to listen to words from the Baptists. This is clear! If you deny this, then you are pushing away the hand of God and that would not be wise. Too many events were manipulated by God to bring us together to be a coincidence. Actually, I only police every 2nd Friday night, so just being on duty was rare.

You must respond to the words he wants you to hear. And you must be patient and faithful. It may tales weeks or month of obedience to learn the steps that it will take to get you back on the road to prosperity. One visit, a few prayers and an occasional opening of his Bible will not be enough. You must be prepared to make some serious changes and do so now! You may not get another intercession. Who knows? But you must admit that you've been contacted by God! And you must respond. What's your next step?

I lead a bible study class on Sunday mornings at Mt. Lebanon Baptist church....

1. Okay, besides me,

who else here would be doing jail time if we had run into this jackass ?

[progressoid]

2. Yep, jail or worse!

:scared:

3. At the bottom of a swamp

feeding the gators.

[PassingFair]

4. Wow, think of it! God went to all that trouble ...

just so I could say F***K YOU!

Indeed, there are no coincidences!

5. There was a time when

I would have interpreted this as an open invitation to visit that little slice of amerikkkana.

Ah, what am I saying, I'll do it now if any body's game !

:patriot:

6. "My own free will became my worst enemy"

Sort of says it all right there, doesn't it?


Free thought is the enemy of religion.

[beam me up scottie]

7. Yeah, but nowadays,

they lie about that because it sounds so icky.

[GOPFighter]

8. ROFLMAO!

This is wild!

...Jesus has reached out to you through me to say that he wants your attention.

WTF is Jesus's esteemed earthly emmisary working part time as a cop in Greer, SC??? Surely Big-J can do better than that for the guy! He should have his own TV show, a Hummer, and a hot blog. Screw writing individual letters...!

[BiggJawn]

9. And nutcases like this have a gun, a badge, and authority to use them...

If that doesn't scare the piss out of you, I don't know what will.

10. Gomer Who?

11. I couldn't pass this up

On so many levels, this is so...funny! :D

God sent a message to a PART-TIME badge-wearing gun-toting lunatic? Not exactly the M.O. of a peaceful god.

God wants you to hear the words from the Baptists? Which baptists? What about the baptists who even more baptist than this baptist? I don't think he's baptist enough. (How would I know, I'm not baptist. :shrug: )

It may take weeks or months...true--to prepare to run a marathon. A couple of minutes was needed to tell that this guy is a few cards short of a deck. :crazy:

I could go on all day. :rofl:

13. God sent a message to a PART-TIME badge-wearing gun-toting lunatic?

Well said!

[Brewman_Jax]

14. G'day, Modem Butterfly

:hi: LTNS since Manuel's. Just had to wave at you! :hi:

I thought everyone would get a kick out of that line! :rofl:

12. "my passion is not to wear a badge and enforce man's law."

Then he needs to turn in that badge.

"If you deny this, then you are pushing away the hand of God and that would not be wise."

So, they cannot tell this asshole to shove off without telling God to do so? I think this idiot is violating the third commandment.

"But you must admit that you've been contacted by God!"

Whoa! Blasphemy! Sin of pride.

15. I know that miserable little town

Greer is not far from where I grew up in SC. It's full of meddling Buybull-banging asshats like Ossifer Stewart. So is Upstate SC in general.

The place was probably a lot more pleasant a couple of centuries ago. Back then the traveling "circuit rider" preachers complained about couples happily living in sin, without officially notifying Jesus that they planned to canoodle. One of them left a diary noting that most of the Blushing Brides who even bothered with a wedding were visibly pregnant at the time of the ceremony.

And itinerant preachers who stuck their noses into the drinking/gambling/fornicating habits of the locals were very likely to end up tarred, feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.

That news story goes a long way toward explaining why I left there at a young age and rarely go back.
