Well, in fact it should be the pastor's expectation and privilege to suffer for Christ. I agree with your assessment of the situation. I think his arrest was unjust, but I would be suspicious if he didn't get arrested. I think the other businesses should follow his lead and they should all get arrested in protest. Or perhaps if they all acted in unison and unity, none of them would be arrested and this whole thing can be over. Where are the manly men?
Think about this...making it commonplace for people entering a BANK, a GUN SHOP, to be wearing a MASK.....LOL
