You know Ron Luce has been warned on several occasions to stop coming to San Francisco, BUT yet he returns with his follies. His immature rants are getting tiresome, and so is the religious rights persistance. When you all are ready to confront him with civil disobedience give me a call, but otherwise stop greeting him on the steps of City Hall. Ron Luce and his cronies love when we show up and counter his shit. That is what floats their boat.
We must make him nervous because his kids will be vulnerable and he knows it, BUT we need to get more brazen with him in our counter protests.

It is a good time to be more unity minded and join us at city hall. You will be welcomed. I don't understand why you say you will not come unless we specify a particular form of arrest by the police. What is planned is biggger louder and more direct than pacifist CD...not that that is a bad thing. Just get your but moving TG person. This is important!

i'm a college student in western texas and and just got back from being part of teen mania 2 months ago. what all the media is saying about tm (teen mania) is very exaggerated. obviously, it's an organization founded on biblical principles and what they are really doing is trying to say is: the media (tv, music, movies, etc) have been portraying negative ideas to teenagers today which affects them and many of their decisions. you can't argue that music such as rap suggests and often times encourages sex without consequences, drugs, and violence. in tv, networks such as mtv show many of the same things rap does, just in a visual style. and many movies do the same as well. now, any moral person should object to what is shown to teenagers. from the time a person turns 12 until they're about 17 or 18, they are most likely to do things on their own away from parents they are being taught and what they are seeing/ hearing. study after study has shown that these things are more prevelant the more each person is around this kind of media. what teen mania wants if for the media to be cleaned up, to be made suitable for families to watch. this whole thing about having a theocracy for a government is not true. in fact, tm is proud of the current form of government currently in place. it just wants clean media so that there are fewer teens who are making choices they will regret later on or sometimes injure or even end up taking a life. and about the homosexual and women's choice, yes, tm does wish to have something done about that. tm does NOT hate homosexuals. in the Christian religion, homosexuality is as much of a sin as telling a simple little lie. therefore, christians are called to love those who sin, but hate the sin itself. and for women's choice, yes, they do consider it murder when a child is aborted. they stand behind the reason that if would be more beneficial to give birth to a child and put it up for adoption for a couple that is infertile. everyone comes out happy in a scenario such as that. so before you go and protest, think about what teen mania is really doing.

That's great you made your choices on these issues, but some of us adults have had our own related experiences and may have come to a different conclusion. You need to respect that when you come to the seat of our local government and talk to us about your views.

hmmmm. Kinda one sided you want your story told but you want the otherside forced to run and hide. If what you preach is true why not allow those that have different beliefs to share theirs? Isn't that what freedom of speech is about. Not everyone has the same views and opinions.

Did BattleCry kids not get their free speech? Gee, I saw them on the news, I kinda thought they did. But yet they want us to make no comment on their opinion of us poor sinners? Hmmm.

Do you realize many of the students (myself included) at BattleCry are Pro-Choice, and for Same-Sex Marriage?

Some of us are there just because we love God.

Ron Luce says "We see homosexuality like a lot of other things that do harm to us, like lying, or cheating, or stealing."

Do you disagree? If so, you should make your voice loud and clear.

And from the BattleCry message board:
"we stand silent yet our voice is heard in heaven as we plead the cause of the unborn and their mothers devastated by abortion..."

You say you're prochoice. What do you think Mr. Luce would say to you about that?

i did not say that i support pro-choice. i support life at conception. don't misunderstand me, but i am strongly against abortion.

You're misunderstanding me. I said you made *choices* about issues, *not* that you were prochoice. And you can't make that choice for me. Period. Number one, you're not female (right?) and number two, my reproductive freedom is not yours to take away.

"You say you're prochoice. What do you think Mr. Luce would say to you about that?"

you just told me that you didn't say what is above. but concerning the choice, i see it as beneficial to go through pregnancy to allow those couples who can't have babies due to infertility another chance to adopt a child and raise. that's what i think about it.

to supply others with babies. Sorry.
