END TIME!! Pastor Jailed In America For Refusing To Wed Gay Couple by impetus: 12:28pm On Jul 15, 2015
A 56-year-old pastor, Paul Horner, has been jailed in the United States for allegedly refusing to join a gay couple despite the legalization of gay marriage across the nation.

Horner of the Christian Proctor Church in Vermont, was given a sentence of one-year jail term in the federal prison.

Handing down the sentence, Honorable Myron Danus said, “Religious freedom goes both ways, Mr. Horner.

“It is not your place to deny individuals the same rights that everyone else has, rights that were passed down and agreed upon in a court of law, the ultimate court, the Supreme Court.

“It is not your decision whether or not you agree with the law but more importantly that you follow it and enforce it.”

Speaking to journalists after the court session, Horner’s lawyer said, “We are currently disputing the guilty verdict and I am confident my client will be a free man here shortly,” said attorney Tom Downey.

“Horner was just using his best judgement according to his rights and religious freedom in this country.”

Investigators discovered that Horner’s church is registered with the state as a “religious corporation” which is only entitled to joining “one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible.”

City officials are of the view that the church authorities must comply with state and federal regulations since it is also registered as a for-profit business.

President of the Vermont Family Research Committee, Steve Shand, said it is “open season on Americans who refuse to bow to the government’s redefinition of marriage.”

“Homosexuals are gay. Why should Christian ministers be forced to perform and celebrate any marriage that conflicts with their beliefs? It’s a slippery slope my friend. Pretty soon these same pastors will be forced to wed animals or kitchen appliances. This is not my America!”

According to NBC, Gwen Hawkins who is president of the LGBT Pride Center in Vermont said she is happy with the guilty verdict.

Hawkins said, “We just want the same rights as everyone else and this guilty verdict sets a great precedent.

“These fanatical Christians base their life on one verse in the Bible but they seem to forget the other 99% of the verses in the book. For example, why can’t we stone to death Bristol Palinfor having a baby out of wedlock? And what about her mother, Sarah Palin, breaking the rules ofCorinthians 14:34 which clearly state that as a woman, she is not allowed to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. But no, they like to pick the one verse in the Bible about gay people and build their camp around it.”

Proctor is a town in Rutland County, Vermont, United States. The population was 1,741 at the 2010 census. Proctor is home to the Vermont Marble Museum and Wilson Castle.

Bloggers and lies. In the same vein a judge can be jailed for, say, due to religious belief that you must not put asunder what God has joined together, refusing to preside over a divorce case?

Hot lesbian couple flag down a new York cabbie who is an immigrant from eastern Europe.

Hot lesbian couple begin to make out in the back of his taxi. The cabbie can't avoid staring through the rear view mirror. Hot lesbians notice him and start to ramp it up more by taking off their bras.

The Cabbie slams the breaks and tells them to put their cloths back on because if spotted by cops he could get pulled over because of them citing indecent exposure.

Lesbian couple get out of cab and refuse to pay for the fare and start calling the cabbie a bigot.

Cabbie insist they pay and they soon begin to shout at each other. Cops notice them and move in.

Cabbie insists on getting paid while lesbians state they won't stating that the cabbie was discriminating against them. Cop takes their statements and leave asking cabbie to do the same.

2 weeks later cabbie gets fired from his Taxi service job because of lawsuit filed by lesbians.

Lesbians refuse to acknowledge any apologies from Taxi service but drops charges against taxi service and file fresh law suit against immigrant cab driver.

The cab driver gets served and soon appears in civil court to defend himself. Judge sides with lesbian couple and ask immigrant cabbie who is now jobless to pay $12,000 plus court fees to the lesbo plaintiffs.

Welcome to the new fagg0t controlled world.

Oh dear Me!
Why can't the couple simply go to a pastor that weds gay couples?
In Nigeria, some pastors will refuse to wed you if he discovered you had slept with your wife before marriage. What do you do? You simply check the next place of worship.
USA has really gone south.
Jailing the Pastor is plain satanism and wickedness.

True, the US is going down as a word power. And some people want us to endure some of this nonsense in Naija by clamouring for equal rights with straight couples. SMDH
Re: END TIME!! Pastor Jailed In America For Refusing To Wed Gay Couple by Nobody: 1:50pm On Jul 15, 2015
May God punish that useless judge and may he roast in the hottest parts of hell.

@Dearpreye, come and see what I was trying to tell you the other day that these americans will try to force down their gay rights on everybody. Can you see now

gay rights have been legalized, good and fine but why force a church pastor to wed gay couples? Why can't the useless gay couple go to the courts that approved their rights to be wedded? Why look for trouble everywhere? Is it by force to be gay or accept their standards

Christians must live by the standards of the bible and we are not forcing gays to accept our biblical teachings just like we don't expect them useless gays to force us to accept their own standards.

Why can't these good-for-nothing gays be and let others be? embarassed embarassed embarassed

Damn america!!!

The christians are safely tucked under the milking arms and hands of their bread and butter pastors. They`d rather solicit for money to buy a new jets e.g Cesspit Dollar or whatever is name was. The US as a whole stinks.

Hmn! interpreting bible upside down. Whoever said this has little knowledge about the bible there is new and old testament , in the old testament they stoned people to death especially people engaged in sexual sins like he said this 'why can’t we stone to death Bristol Palinfor having a baby out of wedlock? ' but in the new testament Jesus said let him who is sinless be the first to cast his stone. New testament is about Jesus and preaching of Gods love to humanity. There is no single verse of the bible that supports gay marriage but anti gay verse is found in the bible stop forcing this gay nonsense down the throat of Pastors and the like....
