Exclusive: Rick Warren Church Has Blacks Only Worship: No White Members Allowed

Warren sent the invite out to members informing them that

>“We don’t want to be a church that just talks about love, that just studies love, that just defines love, that just prays about love. It’s not enough to just say we love people. We have to show love.“

>Our worship team has also arranged a one-of-a-kind gospel experience. We want this to be a safe space for our Black brothers and sisters to heal and be fed mentally, emotionally, and spiritually by their church family heading into the new year…

Worshipping next to a person with white skin is not safe? Congregational worship is not healing or edifying when there are white folk around? What fresh hell is this? Does Saddleback believe white brothers and sisters are giving black members the heebie-jeebies on account of their melanin?

Furthermore, keep in mind this is a Zoom call. No one is even in the same room. This is some next-level divisiveness that the church is facilitating black members needing a virtual “safe space” to have their “gospel experience” so that they can “heal” away from the lighter skinned congregants.” God forbid there might be white members sharing bandwidth with black members and streaming the same thing.

Notice also how Saddleback singles out “African American” members as privy to this evening of racial healing and that other “persons of color” like Asians, Hispanics, Latinos will have to content themselves with staying away from this blacks-only service and hanging out with the whities in prayer? To wit:

For everyone else in our church family, I invite you to pray that God will use this night to begin the healing process that leads to true fellowship in our church family, and that God will begin the ministry of reconciliation in all of us as we head into new waters in the new year.

(Fyi: Warren is false prophet. Always has been. He tickles ears; which is a mark of such.)

Twitter fined $547K for EU privacy breach, first for a US tech firm

Irish regulators fined Twitter about $547,000 over its handling of a privacy breach on Tuesday, the first penalty issued against an American tech giant under the European Union’s new data-protection law.

The 450,000-euro fine marked a milestone in the enforcement of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, a 2018 law meant to give Europeans more control over their online data.

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission said Twitter took too long to notify regulators about a bug in its Android app that made some users’ private tweets publicly visible. The problem affected at least 88,726 European users between September 2017 and January 2019, officials said.

The Twitter case was the first to go through a dispute resolution process established under the EU data law, in which the lead regulator makes a decision and then consults other national regulators.

Ireland’s decision went before the European Data Protection Board after some other regulators objected to the initial ruling. The board upheld most of the decision but directed Ireland to increase the fine. Irish regulators called the final penalty “effective, proportionate and dissuasive.”

Twitter said the fine stemmed from its failure to notify regulators about the bug within 72 hours after it learned of the problem. The San Francisco-based company blamed the delay on staffing issues between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays in 2018.
