Pastor Greg Locke threatens to expose "witches' in his church.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: msn.com

"We got first and last names of six witches that are in our church. And you know what's strange? Three of you are in this room right now," Locke said.

"You better look in my eyeballs, we're not afraid of you stinking witch, you devil worshipping Satanist witch.

"We cast you out. In the name of Jesus Christ. We break your spells, we break your curse. We got your first name, we got your last name. We even got an address for one of you," Locke adds.

This is a death threat against these women. Exodus 22:18 “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”

Some of the laws the American Christian Taliban will emplace if allowed to power. See the first four books of the Bible for the complete list.
EX 20:8-11, 31:15-17, 34:21, 35:1-3 No work of any kind is to be done on the Sabbath, not even lighting of a fire. This commandment is permanent. Death is required for infractions. (Note: This would require even that essential services, such as hospitals, police departments, etc., shut down on the Sabbath.)
EX 21 -11 A father can sell a daughter into slavery to pay a debt. A daughter sold into slavery is not released at the end of six years as is an ordinary male slave.
EX 21:15 Whoever strikes his father or mother is to be put to death.
EX 21:16 Whoever steals a man is to be put to death. (Note: This is in spite of the fact that a father can sell his daughter into slavery; see EX 21 -11.)
EX 21:17, LE 20 , DT 21:18-21 A child who curses his parent(s) is to be put to death. A stubborn and/or rebellious child is to be put to death.

Don't know if they still exist but back in the days of muscle cars there was a muffler that you could put on an import like Hondas, Toyotas, or Datsuns that let out a low-pitched hum to make the car sound like it has some power.

When I listened to that clown speak the power of the lawd came upon me and said "Use that word, that describes him perfectly"

If he on video as an employee of the church, while doing his duties at the church, accuses specific people of being witches, they'll have grounds to win a massive lawsuit against both him and the church.

I am so happy I avoided this type of grifter evangelical religious crap, growing up in the rural South in the 1970's.

My best friend in high school became a member of an evangelical snake church, he once took me to a service where folks were jumping up and yelling out gibberish, and falling and rolling on the floor spitting and drooling in the name of their lord; I was not impressed at all - we lost touch over the years, and at our 40th HS reunion I discovered he had become the biggest, stupidest, nastiest christian racist around.

He married a mail order bride from Eastern Europe - she was a very nice middle aged woman and told my wife in the ladies room that she could not wait to gain her US citizenship so she could leave his abusive ass - she literally hated him.
