Woman Kicked Off Bus For Reading Bible Out Loud To Her Kids!

[deanws]

ITA, ziggy. The general public riding public transportation would not be made to tolerate loud, often vulgar music.

Lion

I HATE that loud nasty music. Another thing I can't stand is to be driving down the road and stop at a light only to have my eardrums BUSTED with LOUD BASS!!! UGGG and SOOOO many nasty words!!!!

Was the bus ride to the woman's church really so long that the bus driver couldn't tolerate her loud bible-reading any longer?
:loser: :banghead: :doh:

Can we add to that people with "loud" perfume or cologne? Those of us who suffer migraines would sure appreciate them being booted from confined spaces. Scents are supposed to be subtle, not burn all the hair out of your nostrils and make your eyes catch on fire.

This is clearly a case of Religious persecution against the 7th Day Adventist lady...if it were a Muslim reading the Bible on the bus, nobody would have said a word.

IMO, the bus driver didn't kick her off because she was reading the bible... she could have been reading "See Spot Run". She was reading too loud and that is the sole reason she was kicked off... after she refused. She could have lowered her voice or waited for a more appropriate time to read.

I know it would have annoyed me if I was on that bus!

And just which part of the Bible was she reading so loudly?

There are certain parts which I'm not certain I would be able to hear and continue driving safely..."Mam, could you tone down the volume on the end of the world? I'm just trying to make the next light."

 

[boody]

Great. I hope they start kicking off all the rambling "homeless" people

What's with the air quotes and the rage?

 

[Pharlap]

You know, cell phone ppl have done this for ages and now ppl pick on this person.
What the (I don't say it)*.
GET A LIFE.

I have often wondered ....WHY do some people SCREAM into cell phones!?!?

LOL...we posted the same thing at the same time.

LOL

Amen, sister, I know I am in trouble with my driving when my 15 y/o starts spontaneously singing "Jesus Loves the Little Children."

She's available for rent...I pay you!

She did recently mouth to the girl and her mother behind us at church, "Shut up."

Yes, the girl and her mother had been talking for almost an hour.

During the hymns.

Through out the recitation of the Apostle's Creed.

Through out every part of the liturgy.

I wondered why the poor other kid was reluctant to extend her hand to me to "pass the peace." Then on the way home, my daughter told me what she did. Well, that explained a lot. I was grateful that the other mother didn't take me down in the parking lot.

We had several conversations along the lines of "Yes, people who talk in church are distracting, but we must not say SHUT UP to them. No, no, no matter how many times you gave them the evil eye. No. Really."

Maybe she can just work as Enforcer of Silence on public transportation.

i have heard this woman speak on our local TV newscast and also on a local radio station since this happened in our metroplex area and let me just say....the woman is LOUD! i think that is her normal voice, but it is LOUD.

after she was asked the get off the bus, a Transit supervisor arrived and the woman and her children were driven to her church in a Transit Authority van.

Well, that's a difficult issue. She's loud, but she's just reading to her children.
In a perfect world, she would/could, lower her voice, and the driver could ignore her.

In a perfect world, of course.

Maybe the driver could see the lady in a rearview mirror and see that she was reading the Bible or some other rider complained. If the lady were going to be very loud and disruptive, I'd think she'd have done it before Christmas since Seventh Day Adventists don't celebrate, but I've never heard of them being contrary or pushing it on people.
