"Church Member Thinks I Need Permission To Photograph On Sidewalk" First Amendment Audit 

Things that make ya go hmmm

Please don,t make me lol (laugh out loud) 🤣😂😅 they make me sick with that 🤮

They like it, makes em feel important

Not really, it's just a pathetic action by a pathetic person.

They dont just come out of no where, they come out after standing there for 40 minutes or longer. Sometimes they dont come out at all, as if they dont care about their own business or church. Its kinda a dumb comment, because you would do the exact same thing.

They were the leading examples 👍

Should be like is right.

There were a few reasons I quit organized religious attendance. One was the "I'm your good friend at church. Monday morning I don't want to know you."

Agreed, they were adorable x

She was quite welcoming 👍

What a contrast between her and the grumpy old man

@williamperese Poison to you maybe.

Guy with shades seems cool. I swear he has a good soul. I would bet.

yup

I'm not just my right . It's everyone's 👍📷📱🇺🇸

I'm not sure if you are being serious or are making a joke about taking pictures of your wife that annoys her.

Yup

Yeah, she was sweet. Had I been in thse auditors' shoes I would've gladly taken one of the bottles and drunk up in front of her.

The only thing churches believe in is how much money they can extort from people and trying to impose their beiefs on others.

@@otway00 Yes I understand your feelings, but don't let that tarnish Jesus, and His Holy Word, that loves you, and cares about your Salvation. Take Care, Stay Strong, Stay Safe.

@@otway00: Nahhh.

@No Commentz: Not necessarily, dunce.

I'm glad that shoe didn't drop myself.

I like to show the good along with the bad on my channel . no bias approach 👍🇺🇸

Forgive them for they know not what they do

@Sir Scrotus No, myths do not necessarily help people; sometimes they do quite the opposite, as even a cursory reading of the ancient myths shows. The teachings of Christianity, on the other hand, provide a moral framework that promotes love of and service to one's neighbor, eg, by collecting food for the needy, as this congregation was doing when they were "audited" by the videographer.

@Sir Scrotus This is some helpful reading about this topic: The Bible’s Viewpoint *Did God Condone the Slave Trade?* DARK sweating bodies bent almost in two shuffle up gangplanks under the crushing burdens of enormous bales of cotton. Ruthless overseers drive them on with rawhide whips. Screaming children are torn from the arms of weeping mothers and sold to the highest bidder in auctions. These are likely the stark, brutal images that come to mind when you think of slavery. Ironically, it is said that many slave traders and slave owners were deeply religious individuals. Historian James Walvin wrote: “There were hundreds of such men, Europeans and Americans, who praised the Lord for his blessing, giving thanks for profitable and safe business in Africa as they turned their slave ships into the trade winds and headed for the New World.” Some people have even asserted that God condoned the slave trade. For example, in a speech to the General Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church in 1842, Alexander McCaine stated that the institution of slavery was “ordained by God Himself.” Was McCaine correct? Did God approve of the kidnapping and raping of girls, the heartless separating of families, and the cruel beatings that were part and parcel of the slave trade of McCaine’s day? And what of the millions who are forced to live and work as slaves under brutal conditions today? Does God condone such inhumane treatment? *Slavery and the Israelites* The Bible states that “man has dominated man to his injury.” (Ecclesiastes 8:9) This is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the oppressive forms of slavery that have been devised by man. Jehovah God is not indifferent to the suffering that slavery has wrought. For example, consider a situation that developed with the Israelites. The Bible tells us that the Egyptians “kept making their life bitter with hard slavery at clay mortar and bricks and with every form of slavery in the field, yes, every form of slavery of theirs in which they used them as slaves under tyranny.” The Israelites “continued to sigh because of the slavery and to cry out in complaint, and their cry for help kept going up to the true God.” Was Jehovah indifferent to their plight? On the contrary, “God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” Furthermore, Jehovah told his people: “I shall certainly bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from their slavery.”-Exodus 1:14; 2:23, 24; 6:6-8. Clearly, Jehovah did not approve of ‘man dominating man’ through abusive slavery. But did not God later allow slavery among his people? Yes, he did. However, the slavery that existed in Israel was vastly different from the tyrannical forms of slavery that have existed throughout history. God’s Law stated that kidnapping and selling a human was punishable by death. Furthermore, Jehovah provided guidelines to protect slaves. For example, a slave who was maimed by his master would be set free. If a slave died because his master beat him, the master could be punished with death. Women captives could become slaves, or they could be taken as wives. But they were not to be used for mere sexual gratification. The gist of the Law must have led righthearted Israelites to treat slaves with respect and kindness, as if these were hired laborers.-Exodus 20:10; 21:12, 16, 26, 27; Leviticus 22:10, 11; Deuteronomy 21:10-14. Some Jews voluntarily became slaves to their fellow Jews in order to repay debts. This practice protected people from starvation and actually allowed many to recover from poverty. Furthermore, at key junctures in the Jewish calendar, slaves were to be released if they so desired.* (Exodus 21:2; Leviticus 25:10; Deuteronomy 15:12) Commenting on these laws regarding slaves, Jewish scholar Moses Mielziner stated that a “slave could never cease to be a man, he was looked upon as a person possessing certain natural human rights, with which the master even could not with impunity interfere.” What a stark contrast to the abusive systems of slavery that mar the annals of history! *Slavery and Christians* Slavery was part of the economic system of the Roman Empire, under which first-century Christians lived. Hence, some Christians were slaves, and others had slaves. (1 Corinthians 7:21, 22) But does this mean that disciples of Jesus were abusive slave owners? Hardly! Regardless of what Roman law permitted, we can be confident that Christians did not mistreat those under their authority. The apostle Paul even encouraged Philemon to treat his slave Onesimus, who had become a Christian, as “a brother.”*-Philemon 10-17. The Bible gives no indication that the enslavement of humans by other humans was part of God’s original purpose for mankind. Furthermore, no Bible prophecies allude to humans owning fellow humans through slavery in God’s new world. Rather, in that coming Paradise, righteous ones “will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making them tremble.”-Micah 4:4. Clearly, the Bible does not condone the ill-treatment of others in any form. On the contrary, it encourages respect and equality among men. (Acts 10:34, 35) It exhorts humans to treat others the way that they would like to be treated. (Luke 6:31) Moreover, the Bible encourages Christians humbly to view others as superior, regardless of their social standing. (Philippians 2:3) These principles are totally incongruous with abusive forms of slavery practiced by many nations, especially in recent centuries. (Source JW.ORG)

Pretty much everything horrific and gross in history has been rationalized through the bible and other types of religion. So sad.

@@bullcrapgoogle8528 All orchestrated by the master manipulator known as Satan the Devil.

@@icebluelove1676 Satan sure seems to be working overtime in today's world. He appears to be working through our conservative Christians at the moment.

That would keep you from congregating with others wouldn't it.

Jesus came to help us all, but some need more help than others

@@michaelbaxter6143 he had no need to come for the believers. He came to show the way to the doubters, the unjust, etc, t those who needed him. He focused on those people. Like the saying, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

@@montewall5813 That's not true, even believer's need Him! What an arrogant comment!

@bcsurvivor4713 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

@bcsurvivor4713 so He doesn't need to save those already saved over and over again. The saved help Him to save the unsaved. Ever heard the story about the shepherd and the 99 sheep being safe and he goes to find the one that is lost,?

Redemption at the end with the nice lady who offered water & food 👍

I saw that one. I shared his live stream on the First Amendment Rights Facebook community page 👍

Because it highlights freedom of religion & freedom of press together. Both covered under the first amendment 👍📷📱🇺🇸

@@FirstAmendmentRights Thanks. I kinda caught that thread at the beginning but wasn't sure if it was what I had supposed it was. One of the other comments was about the architecture and I wasn't sure if that was possibly your primary draw. Have a fine evening.

It also exposes the hypocrisy of supposed God loving people and their true nature

Why not a church? They don't pay taxes, they get instant, unearned, respect, what more do you want?

@@FirstAmendmentRights Why don't you try a Hindu Temple/Muslim Mosque or better still a Scientology Church, maybe a Mormon Church or a Buddhist Temple you know mix it up a bit, I mean not everyone is christian or related. Looks like you may have something against these other religions?

That was probably his husband.

I felt like this was a good audit . shows both types of interaction

Another part of that 1A, is freedom of Assembly. EVERYONE should read it and know their rights

Thankyou 👍📷📱🇺🇸

As we all know here, there is nothing strange or nefarious about recording, no?

Thankyou 😊👍

1962 was Seattle's turn..

Would love to see them audit So Cal 👍🇺🇸

@@FirstAmendmentRights Sure would. I'm up here in West LA and we need audits like we need a new governor ; )

The Republican Jesus 😂

Why are you embarrassed? As a christian you know we are all sinful and fall short of the glory of God. If we were perfect there would be no need for christianity. Expecting another possible christian to not be an idiot is more than you should expect or demand from yourself. Sure you can be hopeful, but it's out of your control.

Don't be embarressed, don't let their stupidity be a reflection on you. Just pray for them.

Sure it does...they brainwash the public and take their money. :-)

Seemingly they run a community food pantry. They provide comfort to parisioners. Membership is completly voluntary, unlike our "partisipation" in government.

It's hilarious the people that say the church serves no purpose are also the ones that don't realize a tiny bit less than half the population of the world has an IQ less than 100.

@@m4rvinmartian the average IQ is supposed to be 100.

@@retroonhisbikes are you attempting to prove my point? How does your statement differ from mine?

Wow 😂

Child diddler.

@Ann Adams some not all

@Ann Adams Priests, Pastors, Youth Directors, Youth Ministers, Ministers.... the vast majority are hypocrites and I wouldn't trust any of them with my child. Religion is no longer about faith, it's about big money, exploiting the weak and vulnerable. I can have a relationship with my God without exposing my family to some dirty old man who reads from a book.

I live as female 24/7. Just different people's perception.

@@FirstAmendmentRights Thank you for sating my curiosity! I really enjoy your style. Also, the little graphic and jingle always make me smile.

Thats how it remains a free service to the public ... don't they offer a commercial free for a monthly subscription ?

@@FirstAmendmentRights yes I'm aware of it but it's becoming a constant ad

Skip to the end and hit replay, no ads.

@@MrButchersTube thank you

You do realize that Scotland is tiny compared to the USA, it's literally the size of the USA's smallest state. There are only 5 million people in Scotland, the USA has 370 million people. Of course there is more danger here...

USA murders per 100000 = 6.52 Scotland murders per 100000 =0.2 Other stats for violent crime and even road accident deaths follow similar trends.

@@thetruepatriot7733 BTW I'm actually an American citizen. I was born in Painesville,Ohio but moved here when i was six years old. That was fifty years ago but my family have close ties with the states and warm feelings for it.

But their comfort isn’t the point.
