Re: strange incident in church yesterday
I don't disagree with you AM. I just don't think the primary function of the meeting of the saints is to evangelize. And with that, I'll not comment any more as I feel the strong arm of Chas. about to slap me down for taking this thread of the trail.

Re: strange incident in church yesterday
A few of my thoughts on a very interesting subject:
1. RE: The original post issue: Could've been a shark bump or just a lost guy looking for directions. Kind of hard to say.
2. Found something interesting the other day while searching the internet for auto licensing information:
PRIVATE SECURITY BUREAU Opinions Issued in Response to Questions from Industry & Public February 2006 through January 2008
Church Volunteer Security Patrol May 10, 2007A volunteer security patrol made up of church members would generally require licensing under the provisions of Section 1702.108 or 1702.222, regardless of whether any compensation isreceived as a result of the activities. The only exception to licensing provided by the legislaturefor nonprofit and civic organizations is found in Section 1702.327, which applies specifically to nonprofit and civic organizations that employ peace officers under certain circumstances and would not be applicable here. However, there is one exception to licensing under Chapter 1702 provided by the legislature thatcould arguably apply, which can be found in section 1702.323 (?Security Department of Private Business?). This exception would allow volunteers to provide security services exclusively for one church, as long as they do not carry firearms and as long as they do not wear ?a uniform with any type of badge commonly associated with security personnel or law enforcement or a patch or apparel with ?security? on the patch or apparel.? See TEX. OCC. CODE ?1702.323(a) & (d)(2). Thus, the wearing of a uniform or any apparel containing the word ?security? would subject them to the licensing requirements of the act.
3. RE: The lost in church: My understanding is, the church meets for the edification of the saints. The saved should be out in the world seeking and saving the lost.
