I find it very curious that you all, meaning you, as well as Dale, Christ 
Church, Doug (Wilson), etc., continue to see others outside of your circle 
of followers as enemies.

The word implies that we, those of us not in your circle, are out to do you 
harm, wish you harm, condone harm being done to you, etc.  That simply is 
not the case.

This community is asking that you, who have volunteered to live here, become 
part of the community by paying your taxes, obeying laws and doing what 
others in this community do - support the progress and growth of the 
community, not just a specific aspect of the community.

Why do you refuse to be part of something you have willingly moved into or 
willingly remain in?  If you don't like what we as a community are doing - I 
hear South Carolina is recruiting people to move there.

I know you're going to say, "I don't want to be part of this lifestyle or 
that one" - that is not what I am talking about.  I mean just what I said - 
support your community by obeying the laws and stop trying to force the rest 
of us to live by what you feel may be the right way.  Live your life quietly 
and without trying to convert downtown Moscow or its residents to your way 
of thinking.

Jesus never carried a stick nor tried to beat people into submission - why 
do you want to?
