Florida church’s “rulebook” worthy of pastor’s bonfire
SEPTEMBER 8--The Florida pastor who is planning to burn a pile of Korans this weekend runs a church that has established a variety of cult-like rules for individuals studying to become ministers, according to the group’s “rulebook.”
The Dove World Outreach Center (DWOC), headed by Islam-hating Rev. Terry Jones, has been widely denounced for its September 11 bonfire plans. The tiny Gainesville church is headed by Jones and his wife Sylvia, a co-pastor.
The DWOC’s “Academy Rulebook,” a copy of which you’ll find here, was created in November 2007 by Sylvia Jones. The document, which details the standards to which a prospective DWOC minister must adhere, addresses topics such as behavior, study, and communication. It is also filled with the kind of creepy directions that are often associated with cults.

Link to the post where I said he does not have the First Amendment right to do what he is doing.none of which takes away from his constitutional right to burn a quran. I like the ploy though. discredit the guy as a nutter and you discredit his rights as a citizen.

um...the guy IS a nutter. he can do what he wants, but people should know he's a complete and utter idiot.

I started the thread because it is relevant, gives some background to a person and group that is currently in the news and interesting to me, and hopefully it is to others. My purpose was not to discredit him, as he does a fine job of it all by himself.Ok, so maybe you didn't come out and say he doesn't have 1st amendment rights. (maybe that was just the impression I got from your general tone)
so, please explain, other than to discredit the guy, what was your purpose for starting this thread.
Being critical of this guy is ALSO exercising free speech. :roll:
What, is he your uncle or something?
I was just wanting to know the OPs motive for starting this thread. everyone already knows the guy is a nutter, so what is the point?
why do you hate free speach?I like to know what precise sort of nutbag he actually is so I can enjoy despising him even while I defend his right to free speech.
why do you hate free speach?
Because I'm an evil socialist bitch. I also hate God, America, and baseball. muahahaha.
2. I'd dare say that all but a small portion of 1% of all the people on this planet support this guy and his church.
baseball sucks
I do not support his actions, not in the least. He has every right to do this, but I have every right to think he's a moronic neanderthal who should crawl back under his troll rock and shut the **** up until he has something meaningful to say. Ditto Fred Phelps. I hope that mofo dies in a fire, as painfully as possible. I'm not going to cause the fire, I'm not threatening him, I'm just saying that he's a piece of crap who deserves to suffer.
Rather violent of you to say. I wish he'd wake up and realize that Hate does not promote Jesus, but rather makes the issue about HIM* and that is the real sin here.
*The preacher not Jesus.
Almost as boring as golf.
Pacifism is so overrated, V. Sometimes, what people really need is a nice sharp shank in the kidney.
You can think of this as WWCD.

one of the few "sports" where you can be a complete and total fat bastard and still be an allstar. meh
Golf is not a sport in my reckoning, it is a game. If the average participant does not sweat from exertion while doing it, it's not a sport.one of the few "sports" where you can be a complete and total fat bastard and still be an allstar. meh
