Church puts 'Shame On Her" sign up after Pelosi tore up Pres. Trump's State of the Union speech

?resize=640%2C480



COWPENS, SC (FOX Carolina) - Mountain View Baptist Church is highlighting a controversial moment from Tuesday’s State of the Union Address on their church sign which fronts I-85.

Pastor Steven Griffith said he found it disrespectful that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore up President Trump’s speech at the conclusion of the president’s response.

So, on Wednesday morning Griffith put up a sign on his LED display saying “Shame on Her,” showing an image of Pelosi, President Trump, and Vice President Pence.

and tailored for the Brutes and Slaves, maybe it's time The Free Citizens billed out your back taxes and siezed your property for sale.

Brainwashing the captives, you can't bill that out under "spiritual". I think it belongs under "torture".

It isn’t affiliated with any denomination. It’s a one man show, run by the “pastor”. No training or education is required.

It has all the religious credibility of the laundromat/ tanning salon/liquor store just down the block from it.

Survey the attributes of the whole "Faith Mini-Mall", take the low score of each. Add that shit up. Multiply by reality. A bad kid praying for his math test to catch fire, scores higher on the Credibility Index

I sent that church a message on their website asking him where was the shame for Trump taking God's name in vain and using other words that nobody would let come out of their mouth in a church. Go to their website and send them a message.
