I have been wondering lately about the sudden silence and inactivity of Repent Amarillo. It seems as though since Raven brought in the new “pastors” to babysit them, ole Texas Dave is acting quite emasculated. Is it possible Raven wised up and clipped his wings? Just a thought.
Rumor has it that a counter protest is forming for the benefit for Faith City Mission at the Nat on the night of Saturday March 27th, I’m not sure the time. Repent Amarillo has voiced their intentions of spreading their hate outside this event and I’m told that a group of citizens will be there in opposition. If you are going to attend this event either as a spectator or as a counter protester please be safe and mindful of all laws. We certainly do not want to stoop to the level of RA, nor do we want anyone hurt. We all know that RA is a militant group, and as such can be easily provoked to name calling and other very unacceptable behavoir. Let’s not fall into their ways, and profanity among other things is not legal at protests.
If you do attend as a counter protester remember to take your camera and if you get some good shots feel free to send them to us at postmaster@repentamarillo.net and we wil post some of them on the site.
I have just been told that Amarillo Mayor Debra McCartt will be taking calls tomorrow morning (3-24-10) at 7:30 am on KGNC talk radio, the station can be found at AM 710. This would be a great time for Amarillo citizens to ask their mayor questions about this issue. So if you have time please give her a call. Maybe if enough people ask what is being done to take back our city from this cult, it will become a priority for the city leaders.
Thanks for your help!
I would like to take a few minutes to say thank you for the overwhelming support that has been bestowed upon this group from what seems to be every corner of this great nation and even some from abroad. It is comforting to know that we are not totally alone in our fight and that others are watching.
I guess the most common question I have seen in your posts is does this cults/hate groups leader work at the nuclear facility Pantex, and the answer sadly is yes, he is in fact an ARMED guard at this facilty. Related questions include why haven’t we informed them of this and the answer is that we have and are awaiting answers. I personally find this very scary and believe it should be looked into, I guess Pantex officials see it differently. Is this not something Homeland security was created for?
Again, thank you very much for your support and concern, as this group has and is, truly causing great harm to any group or individual in our community that they feel the need to harrass. They have been allowed to continue on unchecked, with our city officials taking an “ignore it and it will go away” stance. We here at ACARA are very grateful for both your support and your ideas.
If you are able to take a few minutes to help please send your concerns to the US Department of Energy as they are the governing body responsible for the Pantex nuclear facility. Perhaps if enough United States citizens express their concerns maybe we can both stop this horrible security breach and at the same time stop what is essentially government funding of an obvious hate group.
Yep you guessed it, our local hate group has expanded it’s hate to yet another Texas city. They have launched a website and hate campaign against the city of Houston because they elected an openly gay mayor and have just built a large new building for their planned parenthood. The website is supposed to prevent Houston from becoming the “San Fransico of Texas” Are you kidding me? Guess it was just a matter of time that these fanatics spread, I just think it’s a shame that now this is how Amarillo is being talked about…home of the Texas hate group. FYI it appears this site is being mentioned on the Houston Fox News web site and possibly other Fox affiliates. So perhaps now we should be known as the Amarillo & Houston Citizens against Repent Amarillo, I’m just saddened that their hate has traveled so far.
At any rate you don’t have to be in Amarillo to post here and let me just say that this Hate group does NOT represent the feelings of our community. That being said…Welcome Aboard Houston we look forward to hearing from you.
I notice this evening that Russell seems to have found our site here and it appears had a rather childish 60 plus message argument with the sites spam filter. Is this really how you make your point? This is what God tells you to do? Seems very interesting to me that this is the method chosen by this group who claims to be doing God’s work. I mean really, did you think that an email address beginning with ihackyou would make it past the spam filter? In all fairness in one of the messages he did give his actual email address which is how I know who it was, although he does think I’m someone I’m not.
It has been brought to my attention by a comment on this site that an email address to contact me directly for information that may be confidential or not appropriate as a comment would be helpul. I fully agree. If you feel you need to contact me directly for those reasons please feel free to do so at postmaster@repentamarillo.net.
1. ACT...Do something. In the face of hatred, apathy will be interpreted as acceptance — by the haters, the public and, worse, the victim. Decency must be exercised, too. If it isn’t, hate invariably persists.
2. UNITE…Call a friend or co-worker. Organize a group of allies from churches, schools, clubs and other civic sources. Create a diverse coalition. Include children, police and the media. Gather ideas from everyone and get everyone involved.
3. SUPPORT THE VICTIMS…Hate-crime victims are especially vulnerable, fearful and alone. Let them know you care. Support them with people they feel comfortable with. If you are a victim, report every incident and ask for help.
4. DO YOUR HOMEWORK…Determine if a hate group is involved, and research its symbols and agenda. Seek advice from anti-hate organizations. Accurate information can then be spread to the community.
5. CREATE AN ALTERNATIVE…Do NOT attend a hate rally. Find another outlet for anger and frustration and people’s desire to do something. Hold a unity rally or parade. Find a new hook, like a “hate-free zone.”
6. SPEAK UP…You, too, have First Amendment rights. Hate must be exposed and denounced. Buy an ad. Help news organizations achieve balance and depth. Do not debate hate mongers in conflict-driven talkshows.
7. LOBBY LEADERS…Pursue politicians, business and community leaders to take a stand against hate. Early action creates a positive reputation for the community, while unanswered hate will eventually be bad for business.
8. LOOK LONG RANGE…Create a “bias response” team. Hold annual events, such as a parade or culture fair, to celebrate your community’s diversity and harmony. Build something the community needs. Build a web site.
9. TEACH TOLERANCE…Bias is learned early, usually at home. But children from different cultures can be influenced by school programs and curricula. Sponsor an “I have a dream” contest. Target youth who may be tempted by skinheads or other hate groups.
10. DIG DEEPER…Look into issues that divide: economic inequality, immigration, homosexuality. Work against discrimination in housing, employment, education. Look inside yourself for prejudices and stereotypes
This kid was attacked and the Feds had to come to the rescue.
This is very scary: FBI Study about hate groups. My opinion is that Repent Amarillo is on Stage 5 – the next is weapons. http://www.fbi.gov/publications/leb/2003/mar2003/mar03leb.htm
