Well I could not find the appropriate forum for this post but here it goes.

I have really stired up a hornets nest here in Panama City, Florida. The Christian community has a great hold on this city, (as everywhere else) and witchcraft is not publicaly accepted.

I know of only 2 covens which operate in panama city and they stay stricktly to themselves and away from the publics eye. They allow the state and this town to persecute them, and bager them with the own conformities.

Well I have had enough! I can honestly say that I have an alchole problem. I have gotten into trouble with the law in the past, more than one occasion when I was younger.
Anyway, a friend of mine is required by the Bay County Court system to attend AA, NA meetings, and a program called Drug Court. These programs are based on the theologain of the Hebrew Christianity Beliefs.

The Problem is that my friend is a fellow practitioner in the arts of Witchcraft and is required by law to be subject to the belief 5 times a week. They are completly disregarding his personal religious beliefs and forcing him to conform to this religion. If he does not he is threated with incarceration.
Granted that yes he did break the law and was in arrested for public intoxication. Yes it is against the law. But as far as I am concern so is impeading on ones religious beliefs.

So I had began going to thes meetings with him, (Not Drug Court because that is a court ordered thing). I have remained silent for along time letting them all vent on this young man. Listening to their religious bagering.

Well I went down to the Court House and filed a partition on the equal rights and constitutional rights of american citizens to practice any and all religious beliefs.

At first the lawyer I had went to was standoffish at accepting such a thing to represent. (I had actually went through like 12 lawyers). But now the crap has really hit the fan.

I did not set out to conform and convert the state of Florida, I am just asking for the same respect for our religion, the Christian community gets.

We will see what happens.
Thank you for the leaning of your ear.
