Police called when 3 'tough looking' guys show up at church 2 weeks in a row (http://www.wesh.com/irresistible/4447560/detail.html)
-

it is a shame though, He said the men were very polite and explained they were just looking for a friend.
what a welcome back after risking their lives. ; (

Profiling...happens all the time, get over it...:lol

Wish someone would think I'm tough:(

Pretty sad really that a church would call the police on people attending their services simply based on looks. If the church was concerned why didnt they speak to the individuals themselves? :confused:

poor jarheads.
Beleive it or not when I was in the Corps some units did not allow completly shaved heads for this very reason. They didn't want "Marine" and "skinhead" used in any kind of comparison what-so-ever.

People who shave their heads are freaks and deserve what they get.

I know guys that do it because they are new guys in the military with familys and don't have watermelon for money. In the Corps we had to get our hair cut once a week. Shaving ones head is a good way to save $5 a week in haircuts.
-
I shave my head cause the top part started without me.
btw- My baldy sense is telling me funked was being sarcastic.

You must admit that it's better than a combover.
If I were to grow my hair out, I would look like Ben Franklin or Bozo. It's just not for me.

You want me to tell you how to recognise a person's faith based on looks? Are you that ignorant?

Catholic
1. Of or involving the Roman Catholic Church.
2. Of or relating to the universal Christian church.
3. Of or relating to the ancient undivided Christian church.
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."-- Matthew 16:18
Peter then went to Rome to preach and was martyred under Nero.
Eastern Orthodox Church branched off when the Roman empire broke into east and west.
Modern Protestant faith(s) branched off of the Roman Catholic Church with Martin Luther.
Catholics are as Christian as any other Christian sect. Sorry Nuke.

Jet, see if you can trade them out of that flag.

We have mostly military in the church I attend and I am confident the minister or others in the church would welcome persons that look like skinheads. I brought up the topic once of goths and persons who looked like agents of Satan (which some may put skinheads in that category) and the response was to not judge. Unfortunately, human nature can take hold. I must say, in defense of the congregation, the guys knew what they looked like and should have approached the minister. Agents of Satan know what they are.
Also, 99.99999% of the time you don't get the full or a completely true story from the news media. That said, I am not sure I agree with the church calling the police on them. But then, I was not there. I have to expect the 'good ole boys' were in this for a rise out of the congregation and got the reaction they were looking for. Calling the police may have been appropriate. I expect they were asked to leave by the police because the congregation was uncomfortable asking them to leave.
Maybe these guys should check out another church? It's not like there is only one here in the US. I bet there is a 'skinheads who hate everyone' christian church led by a fellow skinhead. For that matter, if they are really sincere, they can start their own church!

Hehe.
This story sort of reminds me of something comical that happened in our family when our girls were still at home.
My girls attended church and Sunday school at a small town we lived close to.
They had a new Sunday school teacher that hadn`t been in the area for very long.
While in Sunday school class one day the teacher started on her version of "bad people".
She was giving her version of how to spot the so called "bad people".
One of my daughters wasn`t buying the program about being able to judge someone by their looks. She interupted the teacher a couple of times with questions.
The Sunday school teacher finaly stopped and asked her what her reaction would be if about 10 or so long haired, tattoed bikers showed up and walked into the church.
My daughter replied " I would be very happy"
The teacher asked her, "why".
My daughter responded with " It would mean my daddy and some of his friends had finaly came to church". :D

How sweet,
One catholic church gets egdy because some buys who look like skinnheads are attending church and Vulcen in his open mindedness stereotypes all chirstians that way.
Sweet irony.

so, who does have the bettar OS, christians or chatholics?
as i get older, i'm having a hardtime understanding why some people need a third party software to have faith in their fellow man, so be it.

Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

You don't frighten us, pig-dog! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person. I blow my nose on you, so-called Agent of Satan.
I don't want to talk to you, no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

Im not sure who do you call skinheads...
But skinheads overhere dont drive around with confederate flag. They drive around with Nazi`s symbols or german flag from Hitler's time.
Is that some special super hyper cool, ultra modern for of skinheads overthere ?
Or you just use that word for people who doesnt have hairs on their heads ?

Just a quick sociological note. The content of the story doesn't surprise me, what does surprise me is that it made the news.
The membership in most mainline denominations (Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, etc.) has declined precipitously over the last few years for a number of reasons. The same is true of the indigenous Roman Catholic population here in the states. While the number of Catholics in the US has increased, but this is due to immigration from predominantly Catholic countries.
As a result many churches have dwindled to the point where their membership consists of a few aging members who have been members of the church for years (the proverbial blue-haired old ladies) because the membership was largely based on cultural practices rather evangelism.
Under these circumstances, the church begins to function as and resemble a social club for old people. The environment is comfortable, the population is fixed and accepted and only changes via a gradual decline. Eventually it will disappear entirely, but it "meets the felt needs" of the present population. Under these circumstances, new people (unless they perfectly resemble the current population or are relatives) seldom feel welcome, and people who do not fit the general profile of the members of the church are tacitly or actively shunned. The same phenomenon occurs in social clubs and fraternal organizations and could just as easily have happened at the social hall of a retirement home.
I'd be willing to bet the majority of members of this church are women and seniors who felt threatened and scared.
This is obviously not the way the church is supposed to function, but it is the inevitable result of being co-opted by the dominant culture and the liberalization of her theology and mission that occurred in many denoms in the 19th and 20th centuries. The culture has moved on, the theology has collapsed, and these churches are emptying out.
