    Pray for Blue Blinds Bakery

    A group of True Christians™ in Plymouth, MA just opened a Bilbically literal bakery, actually not too dissimilar to your average Freehold bakery!

    As expected, they are now under severe persecution and attack by the lieberal media.

    Let's pray for Blue Blinds Bakery to prosper in light of this persecution.





    SUPPORT BLUE BLINDS BAKERY

    The liberal media is the modern Spanish Inquisition. Bible Believers are tied to the stake of public opinion and burned to a crisp before the crowds of angry progressives. The persecution is relentless, and yet True Christian™ are the only group that will never have protection under the Hate Crime act.
    Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

      I wouldn't say we don't have any protection my dear sister. We have the protection of the Holy Lord himself. We will be safe when we join him heaven. He will protect us from our ultimate threat the devil himself. These horrible progressives are the ones without protection for they will be the ones who will be in hell suffering while we safe in salvation.

        I see you read people's responses with the same care you do the Bible.

        ...We will be safe when we join him heaven...
        Nice claim. Too bad the Bible says you're SOL.

        Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

        And that means reading the Bible (the whole thing) so you know what it says God wants from you. Just do it, already.

          It turns out that this Facebook "controversy" with the lieberals might be some troll. Nonetheless, this "Twelve Tribes" community certainly has some enlightened views on child rearing and child labor. It's also disappointing to see that they are in to this "organic" food and "Fair-Trade certified coffee" crap - definitely not what Jesus would want them wasting their time on.

          I couldn't find anything about their view on guns though, but they do serve pies.

          What the Hell Is Happening on This Plymouth Bakery’s Facebook Page?
          The person behind recent posts calling slavery ‘necessary’ claims to be a former employee, hoping to draw attention to a sect of fundamentalist Christians.
          By Kyle Scott Clauss - Boston Daily - July 10, 2016, 7:53 p.m.

          Blue Blinds Bakery is a quaint cafe serving up organic fare in downtown Plymouth. “Blue Blinds is probably the prettiest, all-around most pleasing café south of Boston and, arguably, a much wider area,” the Globe raved in 2011. But it isn’t the egg-and-cheddar breakfast sandwiches turning heads these days—it’s the bakery’s Facebook posts.

          . . .

          According to its website, Blue Blinds is run by members of a Twelve Tribes community, a fundamentalist Christian movement founded by Elbert “Gene” Spriggs in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1972. A subsequent post on the bakery’s Facebook page includes two articles by the Daily Mail and Pacific Standard magazine, each detailing allegations of child labor abuses in Twelve Tribes communities.

          “While we can not say what’s written there is incorrect, people erroneously think it means we abuse our children. This is wrong!” the post reads. “Our children LOVE discipline! They crave it, just like the blacks crave subservience to Shem and Yapheth (see the previous post).”

          Blue Blinds makes an appearance in the Pacific Standard piece. The author, Julia Scheeres, visits the bakery and quaffs a Fair-Trade certified coffee while reading one of the group’s brochures, titled “When the Spanking Stopped, All Hell Broke Loose.”

          “The Tribes argues that progressive childrearing practices such as time-outs or taking away treats or screen time have resulted in a spike in juvenile violence and crime,” Scheeres wrote in 2015. “The only way to reverse this trend, the Tribes contends, is by using the proverbial rod — early, often, and hard enough to leave marks.”

          The inflammatory posts are a relatively new phenomenon for the Blue Blinds Facebook page. It appears to have been created in 2011, right after the glowing Globe review came out, only occasionally posting photos of the shop before going dormant on March 4, 2012. The page came roaring back to life in June with a new attitude. After the most recent posts went viral, some have suggested that an imposter may be responsible.

          I messaged the bakery’s Facebook page Sunday afternoon and asked how they thought people would react to their apparent endorsement of slavery. “We know our views might be unpopular with some. We’re not idiots. But we hoped there would be more acceptance for the views and beliefs of others from our community,” they said.

          But once I asked if the page was an imposter, or if the bakery actually supported slavery, they dropped the act.

          “This is the real page. I set it up while working at the Bakery many years ago,” they said, speaking only on condition of anonymity. “I was born into the Twelve Tribes, which owns the Bakery, and from a very young age disagreed with many of the beliefs they had—among them, that slavery was necessary and that all people outside of the community were going to hell.”

          They said the object wasn’t to draw attention to the slavery issue, but to the group’s treatment of children. Everything included in these controversial posts, they said, was “taken directly from what I was told every day growing up.”

          “There were times when I couldn’t sleep at night because my 3 month old sister was being beaten mercilessly in the room next door because she was crying in the middle of the night. I’m not sure if my parents really believed what the ‘elders’ told them or if they were just frustrated they had to get up. This is not isolated either. They are taught that this is ‘love,'” they said.

          “Additionally, all of the children work day and night to make the food that the Blue Blinds Bakery serves. Like the adults, there is no compensation.”

          Another Facebook page for Blue Blinds Bakery—titled, “Blue Blinds Bakery – real“—describes itself as an “alternative to the fraudulent” one.

          “Thanks for all the support here, and for those of you who have called us concerned about the slander. We are working on it,” one post reads. The allegedly “real” Blue Blinds Facebook did not immediately respond to requests for comment, while Captain John Rogers, Jr. of Plymouth Police could not be immediately reached.

          Update: Monday, 8:30 a.m.

          The person running the “Blue Blinds Bakery – real” Facebook page responded, saying the bakery became aware of the controversial posts about three weeks ago, and they have since been in contact with police regarding the matter.

          “To say that their allegations are severe twisted and utterly untrue would so lightly scratch the surface that its hard to consider it worthwhile to comment at all,” they said via Facebook message Monday morning.

          Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
          brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
          ...and get off my lawn
