Has anyone ever suffered for Christ? Has anyone ever been persecuted? Or are those days over.

I don't usually express it that way God hates fags as it is crude, but it is an abomination. But so is adultery, fornication, lying ect.. They are all sin and I don't usually center on them especially unless they are "in my face" so to speak.. All sin is wrong..

I spent a year in prison in the early 1970's for smuggling Bibles into the Soviet Union. If anything the persecution of Christians is getting worse not better. Especially in places like India and Muslim countries where smuggling Bibles is still a l crime punished by beheading.

My grandparents were. In WWII in the little town of Ellerbe, NC.
I have known of many who have in other countries. They would be here in the US as well if it were not for JWs taking the government to court so many times. Does anyone really think people would not be wholesale arrested now with the current administrations views on privacy and government secrecy? The thing keeping most of us out of jail is those court cases. And it is all because of peaceful people preaching about God's Kingdom.

I personally haven't been but I have a friend who was arrested and jailed for a week for carrying a bible in Saudi. Another friend and myself came close to being arrested. In my local town lots of anti-christian grafitti had been written over a large sign board. My friend and I went to the nearest stationers and bought felt tipped pens. We added to and changed every slogan to be very Christian in context. Two well dressed middle aged ladies writng grafitti on a Saturday afternoon gathered quite a crowd.

Those days will never be over..
And it solely depends how they are preaching...
Say, if it creates violence and hate, then they need to be arrested.
"GOD HATES FAGS!!!"
^^How do you feel about that?
How do you know what God hates and likes?
What puts you on a higher pedestal then the rest of us?
Your book?
pshhh...

People all over the world are suffering.
Religion doesn't make anyone's suffering more noble or "better" than anyone else's.
