Hey! I can fold a fitted sheet quite well, and (as far as I know) I’m not a witch. ---

> In the disturbing video here, the design of his lectern looks suspiciously witchy to me. And who but a witch could _walk on one leg_? He is framing these women to distract attention from his own witchery. ---

Why do I get the feeling that his wife came home from bible study, and from the other room said: “A couple of those women are real bitches” And he went “Wait, what? Witches? WITCHES! I will cast them out!!!” And she did not want to cause a fuss, so went along with it. ---

**susan** : It’s all fun and games until someone torches the witches’ houses. **CalMeacham** : Or eats them **silenus** : Or drops a house on them. Or torches the “witches” themselves. Could happen? All snark aside, this sounds like the kind of congregation that could take this seriously, whereupon mob violence may ensue. If something _really grievous_ happens, could this “pastor” (really scary scare quotes) be charged with incitement to riot? ---

Probably doesn’t yet reach the _Brandenburg_ threshold. Unless next week he publicly points out the “witches” and starts screaming “Burn them!” That, I think, would trigger the “imminent threat of lawlessness.” ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > As soon as he names them, they should sue him and the church for slander. That would be very difficult. First of all, they would have to show damages. Unless one of the women loses her business because the rest of the congregation is shunning her, those are going to be hard to prove. Then you run into the whole “Freedom of Religion,” which has been used to justify all sorts of lies and slanders over the centuries. ---

Unless one of the women loses her business because the rest of the congregation is shunning her, those are going to be hard to prove. I was thinking more like, he names the names and the rest of the congregation immediately mobs them on the spot and kills them in some especially gruesome fashion. ---
