Ralston Press started a Facebook page primarily to spread the word about community events or work involving charitable pursuits. Unfortunately due to recent events our page has been mobbed and we had to shut down. Perhaps the last post on this Facebook page, I thought I would issue a statement.
I was approached to do a job that was in conflict of interest to some of our clients as well as within the organization. In turning down the job I provided a list of printers and delivered a thumb-drive containing all previous work to avoid future conflicts. Contrary to what has been stated, I HAVE turned down jobs in the past, including work involving pornography, nudity, and sexual innuendo…and have done so in the same manner. The previous clients thanked me, said they understood and respected my decision and appreciated the professionalism in which I handled the situation. Some even modified their request and liked the new 'direction' better. Some moved on, we moved on and that was the end. I did not turn down a person because of ‘who’ or ‘what’ they are, but because I chose not to be involved with certain messaging. Clearly that didn’t happen in this event and within 20 minutes of having a phone conversation 'abruptly ended' by the other party, we were getting all kinds of interesting 'messages'.
As a Christian I do not stop my obligations to try (although admittedly failing more than I like) to walk a walk that is in line with what Scripture plainly teaches...and that doesn't stop because I step outside of my home or a church. While not necessarily new, I do realize we are in a magnified time where people will even go to the extreme to “wrest the scriptures” to conform to certain beliefs or ideologies where in the past it may have been more likely to just say, 'I don't care what the Bible says." I am personally often reproved, rebuked or chastened by The Word, and I hope that it is in a manner than Conforms me to be more like Him and less like the world. Even though I have been guilty of 'looking for loopholes' myself in times past, at the end the of the day it is my responsibility to change to the Word and not the other way around.
While Scripture shows Christ loves all of sinful man and proved it by His death, I know for a fact the price He paid for this wretched man…and I would like to say my goal has been to glorify Him…That is why I cannot now, nor in the future be involved in the promotion or elevation of certain things that are in clear conflict with the Bible. That doesn’t mean I hate anyone, that means I love them and have a concern for ‘the souls of men.’ To say I hate anyone is an easy talking point by the mob, but it isn't even remotely true. Again, I have never turned down a customer because of any attribute...but that is completely different from agreeing to do every job that comes through the door.
As a final note, and merely because of some of the statements made, the Scripture has plenty to say on judging (but most people don't realize because they have their 'go-to-verse' that they manipulate to say: Don't talk about sin, especially mine or my friends). While it is not to be done in a hypocritical manner it is to be done. Righteously, according to the scripture….line upon line, precept upon precept. “Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.”....and I have no more love for my own sin than anyone else’s, nor do I choose to attempt to promote my issues or normalize my sin when it could cause harm or stumbling in others, whatever that sin may be. I thank God that I have a loving Father who chastens me...which is part of the reason I know I'm His...and with true repentance comes true peace. (Please keep in mind for you ‘blended fabric’ arguers, I am not an Old Testament Jewish person.)
There is also much with regards to rebuke and reproof…audible and even at times public…and even sometimes sternly…and definitely in conflict with how the world says things should be handled. This requires judgment according to the scripture, and is shown clearly in action. While God is indeed a God of love, He is a God of judgment…and without understanding the judgment of God you can never truly know about His love. Should I listen to some I would have to burn 2/3’s of the New Testament and label even Paul as the devil incarnate for not only believing but acting on those beliefs.

I am thinking today of my life history with the West Virginia Strawberry Festival and the tens of thousands of people it brings annually into Buckhannon. I am trying to imagine my mother, the Pioneer Matriarch of the Iconic Dairy Queen: "I'm sorry sir, but we cannot fill your order because there is a rainbow on your shirt, and I think you support Gays. Oh, your child is hot and thirsty? Maybe someone else will help her. Psssttt ! Take off that shirt before you take your little girl anywhere else -- this town does not do business with anyone with a rainbow symbol." I am thinking of the times my mother brought unknown teen age band members and float riders into the back of the Dairy Queen because they were overcome by the heat; of the icy wet kitchen towels she sent out the front window to place around the neck of a person suffering from heat distress; or the many tubs of cool water she set out for suffering dogs. How thankful I am that she was a business woman who did not have "conflicts with the Bible" which forbade her from doing business with God's People.
Well said.

DON'T FORGET: WVSF Programs are now on sale for ONLY $3. They contain quite a bit of info including Event Schedules for Strawberry Week!!!
Don't forget the Horse & Carriage Parade tomorrow, as well as the Trick Rider and Drill Teams!!! At this point it looks like we will dodge the rain...and as Public Service Announcement....PLEASE remind people that if they have a dog at the event that is prone to getting too excited it may be safest to leave it at home...we've seen several riders thrown the past few years because of dogs losing their minds...and PLEASE remember not to park along the streets of the route during the parade...it blocks views and makes for terrible pictures.
Why does it say 11:30, 12:00 and 12:30 if the parade is at 3
