Talk:Hobby Lobby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The section that says "Hobby Lobby has been criticized..." and "Some critics claim..." seems to fall under the "weasel words" restriction. Mooveeguy 21:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I removed the critcisms related to the weasel words, since I could not find any verifying sources; anyone can feel free to put them back as long as they can find supporting sources. For the rest, I cited sources and added supporting material, and also added a note about the unrelated Hobby Lobby International chain. I am aware that Bill Gothard is a controversial figure within evangelical Christian circles (my pastor can't stand him), so any mention of him is liable to attract such language.

[edit] Hobby Lobby & Bill Gothard

Wanted to thank RealKYhick for what maoderation s/he added to their comments. I hope the latest edits fit the neutrality mold a bit better. As to Bill Gothard, he doesn't appeal to many pastors because he doesn't support the popular practice of bringing worldy music into church and other destructive things many pastors either approve or tolerate. The irony is that he has been very loyal to pastors for decades (i.e. returning funds donated to IBLP when any reference was made to tithing. Mr. G insists that the tithe belongs to the local church and only accepts "gifts.") Bottom line is...Christians should be unified in the faith and quit burying their wounded.
