Church Says Members Can Smoke Weed During Services,6000 People Join In A Month by massmediang: 9:43am On May 01, 2019 |
A church that allows members to smoke cannabis during services to ‘meditate and uplift their spirit’ has recorded membership surge as 6,000 people have joined in just a month. The church says it uses marijuana as sacrament. The church, the Lion of Judah House of Rastafari in Madison, Wisconsin, opened a month ago. Church leaders Jesse Schworck and Dylan Bangert say that while cannabis is illegal in Wisconsin, members are allowed to smoke during services under the US Freedom Restoration act. “This is a non-profit church,” Schworck told Channel 3000. “We all use cannabis to meditate and also for the religious purpose for uplifting our mind and our body and our spirit.” Schworck says he hopes the new members are sincere in their faith. He said: ”We just want people to be sincere in that aspect of the religion. “We don’t have to agree on everything. We are open. We are all denominational so you can come as you are. Be yourself, share your stories and the things you know. “We don’t have a monopoly on knowledge or anything like that. We just try to encourage people to talk and have fellowship together and break bread.” To join, new members have to fill out an online form. Schwork says the church welcomes anyone who wants to learn about the Rastafari religion, read books on the religion and meditate. It’s unclear who long the religious boom will be allowed to continue. There are legal moves afoot to close the church down. Madison Assistant City Attorney Jennifer Zilavy said: “They are claiming to be a church. “I have not seen any documentation or anything that supports they are, in fact, a church. Even if they are a church, marijuana is illegal in this state. You can’t sell it. It can’t just be 24/7 and you can smoke weed and that’s our religion.” See details and watch video here; https://massmediang.com/new-church-says-members-can-smoke-weed-during-services-6000-people-join-in-one-month/ 1 Like

Don't be surprised when you hear killings, rape and all assorted crimes perpetrated by these followers. FYI Christ can never be found there. |
