Should A Church Resort To Violence When Persecuted ??? by Pygru: 9:39am On Sep 05, 2013
Pygru was shocked when I saw the bolded below

HOW ........ ....... CHURCH COULD HAVE RESOLVED THEIR CRISIS
I am writing on this because some top members of...... ...... Church are my friends on Facebook and in real life. Since the DVD recorded but wildly circulated confession of Mrs. Juliet came out, I am deeply disappointed with the childish manner ........ ....... handled the mess. Pastor ......... during his Church crusade few weeks ago at Mbaise allegedly asked his members not to watch the DVD. He even purportedly called down divine curses on those watching the film. Last week, the same Church went with trucks of Mobile policemen and their own ...... mopols to Alaba Market Lagos to intimidate and arrest those that are mass dubbing the DVDs. It nearly endedup in bloodshed. It is unfortunate that they did not realize that someone like me watched mine via the internet.
..... ..... Church ought to have come out with their own version of story than using threats, curses and intimidation. The public opinion greatly favors Mrs. Juliet because she is seen as both the victim and the underdog. People have sympathy for such people. Pastor...... ....... and the entire elders of ........ are 1000% wrong for using the picture of a married woman as a harlot.Even if she confessed to them as they are claiming she did, it is against both ministerial and counseling ethics to share the picture, name or identity of a counselee with a third party talk less of the whole world. It is like a doctor pasting a picture and name of his HIV/AIDS patient on his notice board. The ...... ..... Church must publicly apologize to her, her family and friends for that breach of confidentiality and also for using her picture as a mad man! The Church must admit that they are not above mistakes and ask those they abused and maltreated to forgive and forget. They will also withdraw all litigations against their ex-members from law courts. God will grant them wisdom and grace to stand firm and admit errors as human beings because even angels made mistakes!

see what the Bible says
mathew 5:
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad(not fighting back): for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Acts 5:41
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
