Branson Christian News Banned From Corporate establishments in city limits
What do, Panera Bread,Cracker Barrel and Krispee Kreme have in common? BCN News desk editor These great food chains are enjoyed by the masses but noneof them would exist without the support of their customers that hold to a Christian World View. Under the guise of a blanket policy prohibiting religious material to be displayed at their locations, we have been eveicted from all three establishments. This is despite the fact that our publication is not a prostelizing organization and you actually have to pay for it if youwant it. In all three instances,the local managers did not stand up for us as an exception to such a broad blanket policy. Hypocritically, Cracker Barrel enjoys the sale of Christian based themes in their gift shops but will not allow any Christian material in a vending machine next to the secular newspapers that are much more political and opinionated about social issues than the Ozarks or Branson Christian News ever would dare publish! Panera Bread's CEO supported President Obama's bid for office with a $100,000.00 donation. I made an appeal to him to reconsider their policy but was rejected. Was it because his perception is that conservative Christians were not in favor of Mr. Obama's ideoligies? And Krispee Kreme Branson is foolish to think that they can alienate believers. Not to be indelicate but since so many Christians feel like there is a social and moral prohibition to smoke or drink (and even a little dancing) as vices that should be avoided, Krispee Kreme donuts have become our only outlet for comfort and guilty pleasures. God's kids usually are not bullied very long and as time goes on I wouldn't besurprised if their stock starts a slow side into oblivion. Sorry for the sour grapes but I just got a craving for a jelly filled, chicken breast in between two slices of that warm home made bread. I just refuse to eat at those establishments that would prohibit Christian newspapers to be nextto other community papers because of what we believe. |
