Anyone know which if any NC Churches went along
with NC Republican party requests for membership lists?

1. part of the problem is
even if a "Church" body doesn't, an individual member can give them a church directory.

This happened to us about 8 years ago when a church member sent our church directory to "Good News" - an ultra rightwing conservative group of Methodists. We still get their newsletters after asking repeatedly to be removed from their mailing list. I say "we" - but in actuality - they ONLY send mail addressed to the "man of the house".

2. I'd still like to know what church hierarchies
went along with the request which I consider different than from the membership.

5. Do you 'Return to Sender' this unwanted mail?
AFAIK this would, if they have any sense, get you removed from the list since they have demonstratable proof that you don't want their mail?

Mark.

3. I would really like it if I got more
responses to this. I'm ready to take the gloves off (IRS campaign).

4. I don't think there's any way of
knowing for sure.

I don't believe anyone (Church staff) will advertise the fact that they did this.

But you could probably safely assume SBC churches and any other anti-gay churches would be on that badwagon....
