TN: Bill would allow sex offenders to attend church with permission
Can anyone tell me why this is even a thing? Isn’t spiritual growth and repentance something society would want from someone who has sexually offended?
To make that and the exercise of one’s religious beliefs more of a challenge to persons on the registry, a bill (House Bill 1922) proposed by Rep. Patsy Hazlewood would require the registrant to provide written notice of their offender status to the leader of the church and receive written permission from that leader in order to attend services at the church.

When one cannot attend a church due to some illegal law is a complete violation of religion freedom.
This is why our household attends church services every Sunday morning in front of the TV. No accusations, no escorts to and from restrooms. God knows our hearts, and I praise him for his forgiveness.

That’s true in a perfect world. King David in the Bible committed adultery and had Bathsheba s husband killed. But he repented, and never did anything like that again. He was favorably spoken of by God himself and called him righteous. People do bad things but they can and do change. God is perfect and yet he forgives. Scripture says if we can’t forgive than God will not forgive us. Do you want to take that chance.
There are those that support the Registry that are taking that stand.
