The ones around where I'm at know who and what I am. You see I'm the guy who sits at the table in front of the Whole Foods and studies his Bible and has Bible studies with anywhere from one person to ten. I have been doing it for quite a few years now so they know who I am. Still the perverts know who are part of their community. They know their own, and who are not part of "them."
Well that is a bit different then. lol Of course they'd know who you are then. :-)
Try not calling them "perverts". It might go a long ways towards developing a relationship in which they can see Jesus in you vs judgement.
Sure, they know who is part of "them" because like seeks like. Drunks seek drunks, druggies seek druggies, pagans seek pagans, Apostolics seek Apostolics.

That may also have to do with them knowing who you are. Even if they dislike *you* they may have just enough respect for your children to keep it from them.

Let me set this straight, I call them by their names. Just like you don't call them homo, or gay. They are perverts and I refuse to call someone as angry as they are gay.

You are correct.

Eh, maybe. I guess the case could be made that most who call themselves Christians aren't. But for the most part, those heterosexuals who don't call themselves Christian don't rightly care what anyone else does on their own time.

Nope. I'd suggest a different approach. Cuz, that one ain't gonna work. That's the approach that keeps them from finding God. God can clean 'em up, I don't need to do that, you don't need to do that. Hey..if you even *can* do that you're doing better than I am, I sure can't. There's really only one thing that will get through to these sort of people. That's the love of God. Pure, unconditional, absolutely amazing, powerful beyond description, love. That's all. The rest will follow in time. Repentence, btw, would obviously mean breaking off their lifestyle. If that's two seperate steps, you have some bogus repentence going on. Praying through to the Holy Ghost might just even happen before repentence for that. God's going to have to show them it's sin, and what He thinks of it. We don't really need to tell them that, they already know what we think of it.
Do you believe that if someone is doing something there isn't scripture for, that they are not in obedience to God?
Do you believe that if someone is doing something that the Bible doesn't have an example of, that they are not in obedience to God?
Since the answer to those questions is YES, then you believe that Sis. Alvear and other women who preach are not in obedience to God, and therefore, you disrespect them and their work for God.
I'm not alone in this belief.

You and your perverted pictures - you have no shame.
Sheltiedad who is not one of my favorite fans even said that the picture that I had posted could have been normal for any other country.
Even though I think the two men holding hands is strange I don't condone the action. You are just trying to cause a problem, how about discussing how your belief in female preachers is valid. Or else just place me on ignore.
