GOD-Nation Church Stopped
by Bill Bolton
The GOD-Nation was Stopped
Last night, August 9, 2006, at
Marietta City Council meeting,
in Cobb County Georgia, a
small part of the
GOD-Nation was finally stopped.
A church had bought property that
was already zoned residential.
The church put together plans
for building a mega-church and school
on the property and
requested City Council to change the
zoning so they could build the
huge church.
Well, an army of neighbors appeared
at the council meeting opposing the
zoning change.
The zoning change was denied, stopping
the church.
How Much from Federal Government
The Federal Government sends money
to churches and I wonder how much was
sent to this church to buy this
mega-church? The problem with the
Federal Government, is that
it should never be borrowing any money.
It should pay off its debts and
pay for essential services only before
it contributes money
to non-essential services such as a church.
Other Churches
As an aside at the meeting,
I talked with other
neighbors that lived near
Roswell Street Baptist Church,
and they expressed their dislike
over Roswell taking over large tracks
of neighboring property.
This hopefully is a movement to stop
the GOD-Nation and help our small local
churches to gain a foothold again.
