STOP THAT! STOP IT!!

About Me


The adjective "Orwellian" describes the situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being hostile to the welfare of a free-society. An attitude and a policy of control by propaganda, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past, including the "unperson" — a person's past existence is expunged from the public record and memory, practiced by modern repressive governments. Often, this includes the circumstances depicted in his novels, particularly 1984, in which the government attempts to control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects, labeling disapproved thoughts with the term "Thought-Crime".
We feel that everyone should stand up for what they believe in, whatever that may be, and not be ashamed of it, despite positive or negative consequences. Here's what we believe: we're all imperfect, and the only thing that can save us from our own sin is Christ's love. We don't want to make you uncomfortable by our beliefs, but if this interests you, we'd be more than happy to discuss it with you further.
