The Discount Store Preacher
Royal Palm Beach
A man was inside a store preaching to customers in the 9900 block of Belvedere Road. He was asked to leave the store but he refused. Security called police who asked the man to leave. He walked toward the door, then stopped walking and started preaching again. The officer told him he was going to be arrested if he didn’t follow the orders. The man said that he was assigned a mission from God to give spiritual guidance and was unable to leave. He was arrested.

Ya think maybe God told him to go preach AT the jail, and the poor preacher guy thought he said go preach IN jail??? Street corner gospil sure does get these guys in trouble alot…

Well, I was going to say something about ‘free speech’, but then, this was on private property. I guess if a guy walked into my house and started to preach at me I’d have every right to call the police. Hmmm…that gives me an idea next time my Dad comes for a visit.

Here in Cali the Bible thumpers are SO pushy. As a Christian I will choose for myself which people to listen to. I live in a gated community and they STILL get in. They are warned off with signs, and they disrespect those too. In a world in which so many horrific things that happen, you HAVE to worry about all of the weirdos, criminals and just plain radicals. You don’t know who to trust and you must worry constantly about ANY & ALL {STRANGERS}.
