True-believer Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 Sunday Blue Laws News "Arkansas Eliminates Blue Law That Banned Sunday Alcohol Sales" NWAHomePage.com (Arkansas, USA) - "Arkansas became the 36th state to repeal its Blue Law banning Sunday liquor sales at package (liquor) stores, according to the Distilled Spirits Council, which called the state's decision a sign of things to come across the South as legislators continue looking for ways to raise revenue without raising taxes in this sour economy." - March 4, 2009 "Changing Blue Laws to Boost Revenue" KTEN News (Oklahoma, USA) - "Sunday is the one day of the week when liquor stores are not allowed to open in Texas or Oklahoma. But this is no longer true for our neighbor Arkansas who recently changed their Blue Laws and is now allowing liquor stores to open on Sundays... Some residents in our area were opposed to changing the Blue Laws; some felt Sunday was the Lord's day and others said if they changed the law, it would not affect them at all." - March 8, 2009 "States across nation rethink 'blue laws'" KSWO.com (Oklahoma, USA) - "State officials across the nation are looking for different ways to repair budget deficits, and one of the most talked about and controversial is to banish ‘blue laws.'... However, conservative religious groups say that the last thing society needs - especially during stressful economic times - is another day to sell liquor. "I know the media loves to make people on this side of the issue look like Bible-thumpers who want to impose their will," said Jim Beck with the Christian Coalition. "Just because something is consistent with values expressed in one religion doesn't make it bad policy."" - February 24, 2009 "Last Of The Blue Laws" Hartford Courant (Connecticut, USA) (Editorial) - "Connecticut is one of only three states in the country that still ban the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday. The prohibition was imposed in 1933." - February 22, 2009 "Will the Recession Doom the Last Sunday Blue Laws?" Time Magazine (USA) - "A handful of state legislatures have declared it's closing time for Sunday alcohol sales restrictions, saying an extra day of sales could give their foundering budgets a much-needed shot of revenue. Those states — Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Alabama and Minnesota — enjoy overwhelming voter support for an extra day of sales, but face opposition from members of the Christian right, who say that selling on Sunday undermines safety and tears apart families. "During times of economic stress, our families are under enough pressure," says Jim Beck, the president of the Georgia Christian Coalition. "I don't think we need to add even more pressure to those families by passing this law." "[sunday sales legislation] always comes bubbling up when the economy goes south," says David Laband, an Auburn University economics professor who authored Blue Laws: The History, Economics, and Politics of Sunday-Closing Laws. Blue laws, which restrict shopping of any kind on Sunday, date back to the colonial era, Laband says. However, those laws gradually died off as economic forces made some states realize that they could stand to gain by having stores open on Sunday. " - February 22, 2009 "A Dry Sunday in Connecticut" New York Times (Connecticut, USA) - "Connecticut adopted blue laws to restrict work and play on Sundays in the 1600s. The word blue was an 18th-century synonym for moral rigidity, and four centuries later, Connecticut clings to that rigidity. It is one of just three states in the nation (the other two are Georgia and Indiana) that bans the sale of beer, wine and liquor on Sundays. (The only exceptions in Connecticut are vineyards, which can sell wine.)" - February 18, 2009 "Measure would keep Off-Track Betting open Palm Sunday" Newsday.com (Long Island, New York, USA) - "In an effort to direct more money to the state's coffers, Assemb.

The bill applies to 13 other cities in the state, including Talladega, Gadsden and Sylacauga, that under current state law can neither sell alcohol on Sundays nor hold a public referendum to change the statute. All forms of alcohol would be covered, according to the wording of the bill." - February 17, 2009 "Sunday hunting legislation introduced for Baltimore County" Maryland, USA - "Sunday hunting prohibitions are some of the last remnants of religious based legislation and “Blue Laws” that restricted activities of the public on Sundays.

CBS News - Sunday Morning show (USA) - "Not writer Judith Shulevitz. In her upcoming book "The Sabbath World," she argues just the opposite: She wants to keep Sundays timeless. In a world of 24/7 commerce, she's pushing for a return to laws that would shut down businesses one day a week. "If everybody has to stop working, then they have to, sort of, pay attention to their family, to themselves, to their community," she argues... Which brings us back to the Puritans of the 1630s: their measures may now seem extreme, but what if they were actually onto something?" - February 1, 2009 "Sunday sales law could hike revenue" Connecticut Post (Connecticut, USA) - "The state's worsening fiscal situation may finally lead to passage of a law allowing liquor stores the option of opening on Sundays.

Members phkrause Posted July 13, 2009 Members Posted July 13, 2009 Not always sure how these laws will be brought about but I do agree with the Bible and EGW (the great controversy) and what you've mentioned. There are many sunday laws that are on the books but not enforced, but can easily be put into effect at anytime. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
BobRyan Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 This one issue I have is to do with the Sunday Law, and I do firmly believe it will be here soon. www.sundaybluelaws.org/news.html The link above is the lastest documented account of this Sunday Law sweeping across the world. What are all your thoughts??? First of all - thank you for sharing that link - it is a keeper! Secondly - there has already been a prediction by an inspired source as to just how the Sunday Laws will return -- and it is not via "soooo many states that just so happen to have them". Rather a catastrophic event will take place and lead mankind in general to the conclusion that they all need to keep Sunday in order to avoid disasters of that nature in the future. in Christ, Bob Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
Members phkrause Posted July 15, 2009 Members Posted July 15, 2009 And, Bob, I also heard that the Pope is calling for a one world order: "blog Alert: Last Tuesday Pope Benedict XVI issued the third encyclical of his papacy. In it, he calls for "a true world political authority" to combat the economic, social, and political problems of the world today. How does this alarming idea fit in with end-time prophecy? Read our most recent blog at http://www.religiousliberty.info/blog/?p=98 to see Barry Bussey's take on this issue." Got this from NARLA, thought it was very interesting. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
