Maybe.
But, truth be told, their profits are up. The Mobile Press Register and the papers they represent subscriptions are down.
Interestingly, where I live, in Gulf Shores, the local newspapers (Islander/Onlooker/ETC) have increased subscriptions. Weird.....

If what she says is true (like the stuff about sending her threatening text messages to take down social media posts and attacking her) that's pretty messed up whether or not its "in house". I don't understand how a father could treat his daughter that way over this issue.
She's gay (or bisexual, whatever), she's not a drug user or a thief or a lazy good for nothing. She's done nothing to warrant such vitriol (again, assuming it's true). Only in this guy's southern evangelical circle which he has his whole life wrapped up in is this an issue justifying such a dramatic response.
If it's not then she's a lying bitch.

Second, there's nothing noble about stiff-arming your kid because they are attracted to people of the same sex. Trying to equate that to something like say, drug abuse or regular criminal activity in general is unbelievably sad and pathetic.
I would say these are all the same. It isn't about the law, it's about a relationship with God. All of the things you listed require you to repent and to distance yourself from them. The best thing a parent can do for a child is to illustrate that action.

shite like this pisses me off.
My family is conservative. We're Christian. I have a sister who is gay. She doesn't try to front out my parents. She till respects them and loves them (and they her) and we're all still tight-knit.
I don't have a problem with gay people. I have a problem when some try to make everything in life about their gayness and treat others differently because of it.

I side with her. I can't think of anything my sons could do where they would no longer know that I loved them. She still seems to believe he does, too, but his actions come across as judgement, not love. She may be exaggerating things, but it seems pretty restrained.
I believe homosexuality is a sin in that it is a deviation from God's plan. Does that make them "evil"? No. It just means that this was not what God intended, and it in no way means that I hold this against them (however you want to interpret that). I also believe that EVERYBODY commits all kinds of sins all day long that are more "evil".
You people applauding her dad are not what I want for the face of Christianity.

AL.com has long had a bone to pick with Rick, especially now that he favors the conservative Yellowhammer News. AL.com took advantage of their situation in order to take their own personal shot at Rick, which is evidence by the accompanying AL.com article written on the matter by AL.com's John Archibald.
If what she says in the article is true, then he has nobody to blame but himself. Treating people like that over and over for no good reason will ultimately have consequences whether or not you try to keep it private.
Does that make it right on her part? Perhaps not, but it's inevitable. People will only take that quietly for so long.

I'm not sure how you can believe the person who brought this whole thing public as opposed to the person who chose to keep it private. The very action she is undertaking shows that she is not trustworthy. If you can't keep family disagreements private, then what can anyone trust you with? Perhaps her being gay wasn't the only reason she was ostracized.

Just one of the many terribly sad ideas that only comes about through religious belief.

He isn't treating her in some malicious way, and you say he has no good reason, but he does have a good reason in his view. His view is that he has to share the Biblical teachings on the matter of homosexuality, which he holds as truths, with her. In that sense, he is trying to reach her because of his love for her.

I mean, at this point we are just taking her word on that. Based on the article, I'll have a hard time believing them. What if he politely asked her to take them down? What if she was the one that took them as threatening? What if he didn't want his viewers seeing them and bringing it up on the show because he wanted to keep her private choices from being scrutinized from some of the real evangelical crazies on the show? You may not agree with it, but there are plenty of reasons he could have acted the way he did beyond him just being an a-hole. Neither of us know the true story, just her emotional woe is me op ed.
At the end of the day, he is still involved in her life, as not disowned her, and still loves her (as she has stated). Is he perfect? Absolutely not. However she is parading around to try and gain sympathy and have people fawn over her plight on something that isn't the public's business.

To me, the following stood out.
Um. If you feel like dying because of what someone you don't know said on the radio, the problem isn't at the radio studio.
Then, she goes on to tell those people how she loves them.
Trust me on this. Sometime so far gone they'd have a death wish over what Rick says isn't going to be swayed by someone else they don't know saying they're loved

Well said. The Bible is clear about honoring your father and mother.

This thread is about HER article. Thus, if we're going to discuss the merits of what she said, we must assume what she says is true. If it isn't, this whole thread is moot and she's a lying bitch.
My post is operating under the necessary assumption that what she says is true.
Posted on 1/13/17 at 12:05 pm to Roger Klarvin
Fair point, I guess. Others have addressed that angle quite well, so I'll leave them to it. I see her entire article as proof she cannot be trusted.

I don't care about their family business either way, but I have had the bible thrown in my face my whole life. It only got worse when everyone realized I was an infidel.
It's annoying and frustrating, especially because I have no issues respecting prayers or going to church, discussing christ, or the merits of the Christian religion.
I can see where her frustration comes from. What i DONT see is a reason to use the nuclear option of the world's largest dinner table confession. It's her call, but i would never do that. Maybe this Rick guy deserved it. maybe he didnt. she should be the bigger person and tell her family what she expects from them... in private. He should be an adult pull his head out of his arse and help his child instead of guarding his own ego.
JMO.

frick her. She knows that. But like so many SJWs, it's all about her.

I agree, because if she's lying this is an open and shut "she's a bitch" case. It only warrants discussion at all if its true.

Spot on
Shes a fragile whack job, and lashing out to gain parental attn.
Keeping her from her siblings was probably more a safety issue, than a religious one
