Update of Repent/Raven’s Actions
Well, we thought that the DPS investigation in front of the lawyers house regarding the members of Repent Amarillo made the group more aware of how their actions are portrayed, but it must have not stopped them. They were quiet from Jan 16 until this weekend. They showed up at Cheetahs, a local strip club, to tell people they were going to hell.
They told the manager, who is a mother of 3 that she is going to hell and they used their PA system and mega-phone to tell people going into the business. The Amarillo cops were called, but they did nothing. They did nothing the last time the group went to Cheetah’s and the group members were on THEIR parking lot looking into people’s cars with a camera. Sound familiar.
I wonder if they went to the Chase building or St. Andrews Church and looked into people’s cars with a camera if the police would do anything. Just wondering if some people are “protected” better than others.
You’ve made it to Pharyngula. With that in mind, consider this:
Get the name of the billboard company. I’m not in Amarillo, so I can’t.
Post the name and contact information of that company. If you don’t know, just list the name of the company–by law it’s at the bottom of billboards. Others can figure it out from there.
Let the world call them to ask why they’re enabling a known terrorist organization. The FBI has listed Army of God as a Christian terrorist group associated with murdering doctors, bombing clinics, and the 1996 Centennial bombing at the Atlanta Olympics.
They are no better than the KKK, and have much in common with them. Would Amarillo allow the KKK to advertise on a billboard?
Howdy, y’all. Thanks for standing up to the incredibly nasty, hate-and-fear-fueled hysteria of your local variety of True Christians. It is heartening to see that they are being challenged; I hope you also employ copious amounts of pointing and laughing. It’s contagious, you know.
I’m not a citizen of Amarillo (or Texas), nor am I a swinger, yet this crap horrifies me! American Taliban is an apt description.
Has anyone checked with his ex-wives to get their views on Grisham? He tries to cover his ass by saying he is a past fornicator etc, but I would suggest getting to the root of his hatred of sex. Which probably stems from a past failed relationship. When you find out what motivates creeps like this, it makes it easier to beat them at their own game.
Good luck from Florida.
Keep up the good work, the “angels” are the true Christians, not the repenters. Get a twitter account and advertise it. You’ll get many followers on twitter, especially #p2 Interesting about the local police….why do they do nothing when repenters are on private property? Can this issue be raised at local City Council meeting? Good post on ThinkProgress.org today: http://thinkprogress.org/2010/03/04/texas-taliban/
I’m one Christian who thinks that what you’re doing is great! We’re praying for y’all up here in Seattle!
I think you guys are great too. I came across the article at ThinkProgress and had to check out both sites. These guys are wacky and I don’t know or really care what motivates the grisham cult but rest assured that you have supporters in Tennessee. I wish there was more I could do than offer encouragement. Hang in there Amarillo. We love ya.
Greetings from California,
If you listen to the audio portion of the surveillance video of the harassment going on outside of the Club 66 one of the members of the Repent Amarillo thug corps can clearly be heard saying “Did you get the license number?”
Now, there must be some way these jackals are finding out the names of members attending meetings and that is through either a dirty cop or a corrupt DPS employee running plates for them. This activity is illegal both at the state and federal level. Using identification from license plates for unlawful purposes, (harassment/religious persecution are not lawful purposes) can subject the criminal doing so to a $4000 fine and up to a year in jail. Not only will the cop doing it lose his job and face jail time, anybody who conspires with him to get that info can also be sent to jail. I suggest you go to the city now and complain. Videotape and record the complaint. Then, pick out a good candidate vehicle owner who has not filled out a permission to release info form and use him as a decoy. Make it a big flashy truck or Mercedes or something and wait for the knuckleheads to be out there harassing. Then drive up and act like a member or client until the rubes get the plate, then drive very carefully away so as not to be stopped. Then, file a Freedom of Information act request to determine when and by whom that plate was run. BINGO. You have them nailed. You get the corrupt cop giving them the info, and you have whomever it was that solicited the info from him. If the city or state will do nothing, call the FBI. Somebody needs to turn the tables on these little brownshirts.
I just noticed on the Repent Amarillo site that Grisham is a security guard at a NUCLEAR BOMB facility???? That is just too much.
Do you have a noise ordinance in Amarillo? If not, maybe it is time to get one.
Also, any business targeted may want to paint the parking lot property line and post warnings that the parking lot is for customers only. Make arrangements with a towing company and enforce the warnings. Persons with vehicles just sitting in the lot are trespassing.
If cops aren’t enforcing the city ordinances, take video evidence, go to magistrate court and file for a hearing.
Bullying zealots can cause a great deal of trouble because our local laws are written with the implied notion that most people will be civil.
These Repent Amarillo Christo-Facists are truly ugly. So glad that intelligent, reasonable people are standing up to these jackals. We here in Albany, NY have your back.
Thank goodness for all of you speaking out against this hate group! I’m from California so I am watching this from a few states away, but I stand with you against this hatred. It’s like the Nazis and their SS. How can they even call themselves “Christian” is beyond me. (I’m a deist so I am no authority on Christianity, but, blech.)
Ahhh, a fellow Deist. Nice to meet another one….
They don’t necessarily have an inside person running license plates. There is a website that allows Texas plates to be run, along with several other states for a minimal flat rate per month. My guess is this psychotic group leader is aware of the site since he does security work.
nice post. thanks.
With Jesus’s sermon on the mount,advising that “we jude not lest we be judged”, and Christ’s statement that by its fruit is a tree known. It is apparent that an organization that breeds hatred and intolerance is not Creating a enviroment of Christian brotherly love. It seems that if the atitudes and actions are evil violent and hateful it is not Christ and his love leading these people
Well your pastor and his family of cohorts have be very busy, false flagging videos with not only bogis You Tube TOS violations, but false DMCA claims, tsk tsk, the (cough) good pastor (cough cough/choke) just might have bit off more than he can chew since its purgury to file a false DMCA claim, and he and others knew it. How do I know, they had (had, all videos on their official YT channel were taken down) a video about being falsely DMCAd themselves … things that make you say mmhhhmmm
At present the flagging pastor has been able to have removed about 10 videos that show him in negitive light from several You Tube channels, for various reasons, lies every one.
It funny how he can concent to doing a phone intervew and then flag the video of the interview for releasing personal information, hey what about news 10 or channel 4 news, they have his name to face to place just as big as the day is long.
Ive also go a few things for anyone thats been stalked by the Disaster pastor, feel free to contact me on my YouTube channel with the same name, or just do a websearch for me, its not hard to find atheistatlarge of DEBATE FAITH on the internet.
Good luck Amarillo
that’s ok….hard copies of the video clips showing his true side remain in good hands. it is no secret that GRISHAM seems to have a good ole boy buddy within the ranks of youtube management. the owner of a local influential news paper even got his vids flagged and even with the threat of a lawsuit he could not even get a mere squeak out of anyone from youtube.
they can flag all they want and cry wolf till they are blue in the face. nothing can hide what they really do and how they really act in public. David is nothing more than a sociopath who is drowning in his own guilt looking for a way to justify his actions. he cannot even get any local support from any prominent church organization at this point. he would have better luck teaming up with the PHELPPS clan in Kansas. BUT then again….that ole freddy devil and his family might not want to share the spot light with a competing family. that might be fun to watch actually?
