Justin Hoke of Weed, California recently discovered just how prophetic those words of Orwell turned out to be ~ California pastor ousted after ‘homosexuality is sin’ church sign stirs protests ~
 
 

A northern California pastor has begrudgingly stepped down as members threatened to leave after he posted a church sign that called transgender celebrity Caitlyn “Bruce” Jenner a man and stated that “homosexuality is still a sin.”
 
Justin Hoke, who formerly served as pastor at Trinity Bible Presbyterian Church in the town of Weed in Siskiyou County, took to Facebook to announce that he is leaving the church. His departure comes following protest and vandalism in response to his church sign […]
 
In an interview with The Siskiyou Daily News, Hoke said his intention with the sign was to express his thought that the Bible doesn’t change even though the culture may.
 
“If you see a burning building, there are only two reasons not to warn those inside: if you think the danger isn’t too great, or if you don’t love those inside,” Hoke stated.

Much like the young boy in the Emperor’s New Clothes story, Pastor Hoke was simply stating the plain truth. But while the townspeople in that classic tale were jarred out of their timidity by the lad’s declaration, Christians in Northern California are apparently still content to embrace delusions.
 
 
 
Well at least the pastor wasn’t arrested for telling the truth ~ British woman arrested, investigated for calling transgender woman a man. Although it probably won’t be long before that madness comes to our shores as well.
