My wife and I left the congregation because we no longer felt we were in a safe place.

That is a genuine issue in many churches — even entire denominations.

You are not allowed to question these people or these events. Intelligent people are involved here, and they set things up so that the news reporting of it inspires action-based fear of future events. If all goes well, there will be a lot of training dollars spent and everyone will feel safer.

Alas, no matter how gentle I have been, how much indisputable factual information I provide, nor how many Bible verses I quote on righteous self-defense, my previous church and my current church oppose the idea of armed self-defense. It really boggles my mind.

You question the advice given because of where the ‘conference’ is held?

I question the advice given.
