[CTRL] Fw: Evangelism Outlawed -- Proposed French Law
Evangelism Outlawed -- Proposed French Law PARIS, France (BP) July 3 -- Missionaries and laypersons who share their faith in Jesus could be imprisoned for up to two years under a proposed French law that accuses religious proselytisers of 'mental manipulation' of the public. French Justice Minister Elisabeth Guigou last week called the bill "a significant advance giving a democratic state the legal tool to efficiently fight groups abusing its core values."

Re: [CTRL] Fw: Evangelism Outlawed -- Proposed French Law
In one of his books, the late Robert A. Heinlein had a character observe that "evangelism consists of beating your words into a man's ears until they come out of his mouth." That could equally well apply to advertising, which is after all part of the evangelical apparatus of corporate capitalism...and which could also be described perfectly well as capitalist mind control. - Original Message - From: "William Shannon" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2000 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Fw: Evangelism Outlawed -- Proposed French Law In a message dated 8/27/00 1:43:55 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: PARIS, France (BP) July 3 -- Missionaries and laypersons who share their faith in Jesus could be imprisoned for up to two years under a proposed French law that accuses religious proselytisers of 'mental manipulation' of the public.
