have some sort of hierarchy. There are "free" churches that allow each congregation to do as it pleases. I guess they want all churches to be stand-alones.

How foolish they are. They will go bankrupt.

"Raising Organic (Naturally Grown) Heirloom Plants takes a special commitment. A commitment one must strive for sustainable agriculture through natural practices in order to maintain good health, and feed future generations of the world to come!

We are 100% Against Monsanto and do not in any (knowingly) way support, purchase or grow Monsanto based companies or products).



Although we are not Certified Organic, we use strict Organic practices while raising all of our plants utilizing Organic materials and methods, 100% free of chemicals and pesticides. The term "Organic" here, is used in this sense meaning a holistic, ecologically-balanced approach to farming, 'the old conventional way'. Conventional methods have been used for centuries until the use of chemicals and synthetic materials were used, requiring a need to separate and define "Organic" growing.

We have made that commitment to using well known conventional Organic practices and know that your visit here with us today means that you have made that very same commitment to yourself, your family and the world around you. "

I wish more companies that feel this way would just put it out there so I don't waste my time and especially my money on their hate. And what is this God-fearing? I thought God was love. Why would you fear love? btw, mr or mrs Organic Heirloom Plants - there is nothing Patriotic or Moral about what you are doing.

Sorry, my first cup of coffee hasn't kicked in. Happy Sunday everyone!

October 23, 2012 This company is now named Organic Heirloom Pants, same owner, Wendy Wiegert, and same address.

I ordered from her in March, 2012. I have contacted her by mail and Facebook for her website at least 20 times. I never received my order and contacted her in April. I got n excuse of a freeze and reimbursement o follow. A month later, nothing. I contacted her again. She said don't worry, refunds were coming. She refused to respond to the BBB, or me. It's been now 7 months, still nothing.

I now knw why she changed the name of her company!

I wouldn’t order anything from a company that pushes the religious privilege of its owners over the rights of other people. The religious right wants the privilege to disobey anti-discrimination laws at will—they already have religious freedom.

I've noticed in the last few weeks that I've been to addresses for businesses that do that, particularly on Pinterest. I've also had two attacks from addresses in Viet Nam. I've changed all my passwords and will not go on Pinterest anymore.

These are trying times. But I wanted to see a site that discriminates against Lutherans and Muslims.

Does not make you "God frearing" or "patriotic".

By violating the country's laws designed to protect the rights of every citizen to enjoy "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" you are acting the opposite of patriotic.

By showing contempt and hate towards God's children rather then the love and compassion for your fellow man, and refusing the opportunity spread God's gospel to all who may wish to listen, you are committing apostasy against the Christian faith.

Also... fuck you.

EDIT: Appears this may be a hacker? Hopefully true. Will wait and see.

So, can we just delete this whole thread? If these poor folks were hacked the last thing we need to do is put wind behind it.
Let's just give them the benefit of the doubt and take it down.
