There are ways to contact them on the website.

Their idea of a strong man is as thought out as their idea of an all-powerful deity.

Another prime example of why these churches should be taxed.

I kind of want to go just to do that goofy run out of there when he starts speaking.

Keep it simple: ask what Hawley has to do with manhood or Christianity.

Someone needs to go and ask him if god would be ok with someone in power lying to lots of people and getting some of them killed or injured.

Right. Please do ask them all kinds of these questions. They've got contact us links on the stronger men conference website, phone numbers, email, Twitter, Facebook. All that stuff. I've been hitting them up but haven't received a reply yet. I think it would be great if hundreds of people bugged them about it. And I just really want them to answer some of these questions that I'm sure the community has. I think it would be great if they backed out of having him as a guest because I kind of think they booked him before the attempted coup that he helped incite. No "church" in their right mind would even consider having such a hateful, cowardly, treasonous bastard come set up merch stands and spew hateful culture war bullshit to their congregation.

Exactly. Like you. You can be one of many people to help me get under their skin. Call em. Record it, make a tiktok or something. They need to be called out on this. Please reach out to them in some way.

The entity the conference is about says shit like wearing something made up of mixed fabrics is bad, so the definition of strong is skewed

I saw the bastard in person when he was first running for congress. He was in town at the republican headquarters in Springfield. I heard 20 seconds of his speech and immediately knew he was a p.o.s. He just repeated everything people wanted to hear and nothing of value. I really hope somebody finds dirt on him and he gets taken down.

Because the leadership is full of seditious cowards.

To help sell his book, pure and simple. The terms of their agreement would be interesting

Are you new to Springfield? JRA has been very problematic, for a long time. They've got that 'prosperity gospel' thing going on. They have also been 'character witnesses' for a parishioner who had 1000's of images on his computer, the kind of stuff that usually gets a long prison sentence, but not in general population. Hawley is practically the poster child for their brand of 'christianity'...

What the fuck does "stronger men conference" even meaning? I assume some toxic masculine shit?

Live_Oak123 t1_j5939d5 wrote

Make no mistake, JH and JRA, and in particular JL, all serve the same god. Money. There is no other motivation. No other reason for their collusion. Money, pure and simple.

We should all protest outside the church holding pickets of the picture of him running out of the capital like a scared child

Ya basically something like, "don't be gay, hate gays, pray a lot, fight woke, own libs, get the groomers, don't jack off, stop porn, stop playing video games, make wife cook and clean and be quiet, white Jesus white Jesus" and all that other Christian nationalism shit. Oh and "buy my new book, "Man Hood!"".

It's so they can shoot their guns and flex their Jesus muscles while laying hands on each other. What else would you call a circle jerk?

I don't know. Some family of mine go there, so that's how I know the above tidbit, but they kind of keep that part of themselves from me a little, so I'm sure they wouldn't have shared.

To answer the question: The conference is put on by James River Assembly, a local megachurch with long-standing ties to Hawley. And Hawley needs to pander to his base.

Stronger men conference? That’s a euphemism for white Christian nationalism.

Renn_1996 t1_j5as0et wrote

If you are going to throw out that accusation at least have some reasoning with it lol. In Springfield people complaining about churches are complaining about mega Christian churches. There isn't a large enough Jewish democratic to assume they are being anti Semitic.

Talking about the owner of Lamberts? It wasn’t just images, he was trafficking underage girls across state lines for sex. But he’s rich…..and sick…..and “does a lot for the church and the community” so he deserves a free pass, right? 🙄

It doesn’t even make since cause Hawley is gay but they still like him

Josh Hawley is such an alpha male, his choice of porn doesn’t even have any women in it!

Because they are christofasicst assholes who worship at the altar of toxic masculinity and hatred.

Point taken. I have since learned why it's not a violation from someone I know to be highly educated in such matters. I'm usually not a betting man, but 20 bucks says those Democrat candidates aren't calling for the exclusion/elimination of groups of people they don't like because their beliefs teach them that "those people shouldn't exist", aren't pushing a draconian sense of morality and anyone who doesn't subscribe to it is "vile" or "unworthy", or supporting the "our way or the highway" or "no matter what, our guy won" rhetorics. I am by no means a hardcore Democrat, since I recognize that all parties have their own issues.

Yes, it’s a religious event even if it is mostly non-religious stuff. I think last year the big draw was monster trucks. You know, because nothing teaches people about Jesus quite like a monster truck.

Report James River Church to the IRS here for failing to comply with tax-exemption law.
