You've done a great job on this article and highlighted a tactic that is rarely considered in safety planning and preparation. Schools and churches are also the setting where the mentally ill and the hate filled will commit suicide or self harm without regard to collateral damage.

Sounds like a situation in which OC would be applicable. At a minimum, it would certainly distract the offender from continuing the assault.

We covered this story in a PtNletter the day after it happened. Our prayer:

Great High Priest, You zealously defended the sanctity of Your Father's house in Jerusalem. Defend it now also in Rome. Help Your faithful to forgive this offense and to purify this space, guard it Yourself from future profanation, and deliver the man who defiled it to justice and salvation, that he may run to embrace Peter at the gates of paradise.

Good morning to all,

Keith, here is a question that will likely fall into the dumb question category, but I have to ask for the sake of clarification.

Specifically, regarding the above incident, should ATM be used or go straight to Tell and or make? My common sense tells me to go straight to Tell and or make but I'd like to hear from you. I want to ensure our security team uses the correct response to this type of incident.

Stay Safe & ABC

We are under attack throughout the world. It brings 2 Timothy 3

New International Version into focus and clarity...

3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

I have to wash away what is left by 'homeless '. I volunteer to water planters and find all kinds of bad things in the bushes.

The true Church belongs to Jesus Christ, not to any single denomination or earthly organization. Scripture tells us in Matthew 16:18 that Jesus said, “I will build My Church.” It’s His Church, made up of all who are saved by grace through faith in Him (Ephesians 2:8–9). No man-made institution can claim to be the only true Church of God.

the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is God's true Church and is not in any 'man made' it comes from God via his Prophet directly. the criticism 'momons' believe the salvation can be earned by works is a false dichotomy spread by liars and believed only by the willfully ignorant, LDS doctrine call US to ACTION, works imply s that it can be done ended over finished, action is on going, we repent daily to be worthy of God's grace, 'by their fruits you will know them'

Hey Keith not the best way to get into contact with you but I sent you some security team related stuff via the messages on Substack.

Any other way I get into contact with you regarding security team concerns? Much love and blessings from Canada. 🇨🇦

No idea where else to contact you. Just thought maybe you’d see my comment on your post.

We will all be attacked for our faith as the days grow closer to His return! We must stand true to the end. If only the desecration of an alter were the worst of it. I am not belittling this act, but much worse is coming.

That's what you took out of this article? I think you should work on your timing and placement. Not the place nor the time. If you keep it up I'll block you permanently.

You may be right. But there are several in the running. He has brokered “peace in the Middle East” so far. We will see. He did just say that he knows he is not going to Heaven.
