When grandmas go to jail for witnessing Arrested for sharing the Gospel? Yep. Arlene Elshinnawy, a 75-year-old grandmother of three, and Lynda Beckman, a 70-year-old grandmother of 10 (along with nine others), were arrested for sharing their faith on the public sidewalk in Philadelphia, Pa., USA. They faced 47 years (the rest of their lives) in jail for spreading the Gospel because of a Pennsylvania "hate crimes" law that is nearly identical to H.R. 254 ā the "hate crimes" bill reintroduced in Congress and said to be on the "fast track" in the House Judiciary Committee. This is the same bill that previously passed both the House and Senate and was killed only because of Republican leadership opposition in conference ā something we no longer have. Don't believe hate crimes will silence your freedom of speech and freedom of religion? Think again. ... from: www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54125

Thanks for the link Josh. The professing "Christians" in America will continue in their slumber. Meanwhile those who desire to serve the Lord and their fellow man by loving them enough to tell them repent will be jailed or worse. Our Constitution is under assault, but they won't stop there. Our love for God waxes colder and colder....

The Bill was passed recently here in the UK too! We dont expect it in the western world or should I say are kidding ourselves if we dont. Pray for all saints everywhere especially those out on the streets for Gods Favour and for those in jail. What an unjust world we live in but expected we are in the last days and many of us will be imprisoned all over the world. Jesus is coming soon!
