A true Cop for Christ (sarcasm intended)

"This page is about a letter that was received after an incident that occurred around 11:15PM, Friday, June 10, 2005.

...

"The interesting part of this incident happened at the back of our car. Officer Stewart asked us if we had put the bumper stickers on or if the car had come that way. I of course told the truth and said I had put them on. The officer wanted to know what they meant so I explained that I was an ordained minister of the Emerald Sanctuary Druidic Church. The conversation continued and then Officer Stewart asked me if my church supported me? I asked him to explain what he meant by support and he clarified it as meaning ‘spiritually fulfilling’. He then begins witnessing to me and my husband. As they were putting my husband into the police car, and I was getting the bags of groceries out of the back seat, Officer Stewart came over to me and handed me $40.00 to help get the car out of impound and told me he would be writing the letter exhibited below. At the police station he continued to witness to me. "

Just for fun, they posted a scan of the letter he sent to them after the incident:



Lots, lots more at this link.

This would be why I don't have a rainbow sticker on the back of my car. Even though I live in Michigan, well, I can see this happening just about anywhere these days.

2. Reminds me of the time

I was involved in a 16 car pile-up on I-71 in Cleveland years ago. Along comes this fundy who starts witnessing to everybody while we're trying to exchange insurance information and talk to the police, and tow truck drivers.

3. WTF happened to America? I want my country back. If I wanted to

have a bunch of religion-based government up my ass, I'd have moved to Saudi Arabia already.

4. WOW Please email me on how this turns out

As a Wiccan and The fact that my step mother and father are both police officers I have a very strong interest in this. As a member of the Navy I have had quite a few instances where my religion was brought up and I have been harassed a bit for it, mostly questions like the phone call you received about the virgins. Luckily now I actually work with the Religious ministries department on board my ship and they are very respectful, and I get time in the chapel for my own worship. Please keep us updated feel free to email those updates. Blessed Be

5. well, it wasn't ME that was pulled over

I found this on Witchvox.com.

Two small criticisms of the witches' voice website: "Wren's Nest News" often treates opinion articles as if they were news, and they are often several days behind other websites.

However, sometimes they find a gem, like this article.
