My Mom just emailed me the news.

She said WLOS tv just broke in to report that the East Waynesville Baptist church has officially excommunicated all its democratic members.

She said that before the election, the preacher told the congregation from the pulpit that if they didn't vote for * they had to come to the altar to confess their sins and repent. they could'nt be members. (My Mom doesn't attend that church--she's United Methodist, but I know of lots who do attend).

From Mom's email: "One of the local women who got excommunicated said on TV that it was like a cult. Another man who got excommunicated said that the rest of the congregation stood up and applauded as the Democrats were told to leave."

Okay, I'm officially freaked out.

UPDATE

Here is a link to the local news story about this. --Skinner

Former Church Member: "He told us if we didn't support George Bush that we need to resign our position and get out of the church."

The video is hosted here and here. (Video at both links is the same.)
