"It possible for someone who has been a life-long alcoholic to stop. It is possible for somebody who has a cutting tongue and a big mouth to stop. It is possible for someone who is engaged in homosexual behavior to stop." - JRC John Lindell

John Lindell told people to appeal against gay rights. HOW CAN A CHURCH TELL YOU HOW TO VOTE?!

The authorities don't care. Churches have been telling people how to vote for 40 years and nothing has happened to them. They will never lose their tax exempt status because somehow the pigs are more equal than the rest of us.

I am not a legal scholar, but it sounds like he is just following the law. He doesn't endorse a specific political campaign.

The only way would be to suggest a law change to congress.

I’m atheist but, there isn’t much wrong with his statement unless it’s under the paywall you linked?

The link has a video, what I quoted was just the tip of the iceberg.

They can’t. I think there’s a tax exempt complaint form where you can report it
