REPENT AMARILLO is a great example of the shadowy line between militias and evangelicals. With Repent Amarillo, the evangelical part supercedes the militia part.
RA’s website is a well crafted amatuer website that looks like a U.S. military site. There are humvies, choppers, fatigues and big walkie talkies. They claim to be warriors for Jesus Christ.
They claim that they are “not protestors”.
What they do is harass people.
The best part of Repent Amarillo’s website is the section called “Warfare Map”. In it you will find all the places on interest for RA in and around the Amarillo area.
The google map has four different categories of places Repent Amarillo likes to battle.
· The red pin indicates a place of a “Sexually Oriented Business” like a porn shop or swinger’s club.
· The blue pin marks the place of all “OccultOccult Witchcraft”.
· The green pin is for places of “Idol Worship”
· The yellow pin is for a “Compromised Church”
Among the “Occult Witchcraft” is a Nature Center which has a section called “Earth Circle”. This is bad because there is a “Pagan group” around Amarillo that calls itself “Earth Circle” and pagans usually pray in places called “Earth Circles”. Although there are no pagan rituals conducted at the nature center, it doesn't stop RA members from harassing people there.
Others in that category include palm readers, new age stores, a Masonic lodge and head shops.
In the "Idol Worship" category is a mosque, a Hindu temple, a Buddhist temple and a bunch of church’s Repent Amarillo does not agree with.
A “Compromised Church” is one that is a bit liberal with it’s gay members…meaning they don’t make them repent for being gay.
Some of the comments that appear when you click on one of the pins are really funny (in a very offensive way).
Examples:
For the Hindu temple, the comment reads, “Hindus can’t make up their minds about what is and is not a god so they worship 2.5 million false gods”
For The Universalist Church, “Teaches everyone goes to heaven. This calls Christ a liar. You cannot be a Christian if you call Christ a liar.” (That one is my favorite)
Another entry that cracked me up was for something called “Beavers Gentlemen’s Club”, obviously marked with a red pin. The comment says, “Total nude strip club”. I found this funny because most of the other strip clubs say “strip club”, by “Beavers”…someone at RA knows the difference between Beavers and other strip clubs.
This is a group of “Christians” that believe in witches, magic and the military. These are your local extremists. If they lived in Afghanistan and were Muslims, you’d have bombed them in 2001.
They harass people in parking lots. They jot down license plates, make harassing calls, go through people’s garbage and try to humiliate people in hopes of turning them into Christian.
Their mission goals involve harassing at breast cancer events and Earth Day events, among others. They want to bring their warped vision of Christianity to grade school children and spring breakers.
They also hit up "demonic concerts" for some harassing and stalking.
Funny...for people that have a webpage with a firey image of a goat's head.
The last thing on the mission page reads, “Some other missions occasionally employed may be “undercover operations” where the groups show up together but are not publicly visible together to effect the outcome of a public meeting such as city commissioners, etc.”
That last part, coupled with the map, and fatigues the members wear, frighten the hell out of all the other Christians and non-Christians that RA stalks, harasses and terrorizes.
An excerpt from the oath the “soldiers” of Repent Amarillo take:
The devil cannot defeat me. People cannot disillusion me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me, and hell cannot handle me. I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my Commanding officer calls me from His battlefield, He will promote me to captain and then allow me to rule with Him. I am a soldier in this army, and I'm marching claiming victory. I will not give up. I will not turn around. I am a soldier, marching Heavenbound. Here I stand! Will you stand with me?
I don’t know why they hate Islam and Buddhists…RA says things similar to both philosophies. Actually some of what they say is exactly the kind of thing a suicide bomber says on tape a few days before he blows himself up, along with innocent people.
Repent Amarillo likes to call themselves the "Army of God". Hezbollah means the "Party of God"...funny.
