The ongoing controversy surrounding the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Associations refusal to rent the boardwalk pavilion for civil union ceremonies was discussed at length at last weeks meeting of the Ocean Grove Home Owners Association.
Scott Hoffman, the CMAs co-Chief Administrative Officer, had addressed the home owners at their June meeting, at which time the members asked that he go back to the association to request a public meeting between the home owners and the Associations trustees.
Hoffman reported he had brought their request to Scott Rasmussen (CMA President), who responded, The Association knows your feelings; however, we have entered into mediation on this issue. We have been instructed by our attorney that confidentiality is critical, and that we should not discuss this issue in public at this time.
During the lengthy discussion, many members of the audience expressed their displeasure at the Camp Meetings refusal to discuss this issue with them. One resident said, The Camp Meeting Association does not know our hearts and our feelings. They should meet with us.
Hoffman said he would report that back to the association.
The Camp Meeting Association conducts an annual Labor Day Town Meeting in the Bishop Janes Tabernacle, during which time various members of the association report on their committees activities during the recently-completed summer season. The meeting includes a brief public comments/question and answer period. It was mentioned that those who are concerned about the civil union issue could attend the Labor Day meeting and express their concerns to the Association.
Joan Caputo of Cookman Avenue read a resolution that requested that the Home Owners Association take the following actions:
The Home Owners Association holds a membership vote to express their collective support of all civil rights, including the usage of all public facilities for civil unions.
The Home Owners Association places an advertisement in The Coaster stating the above membership vote and their full support for these issues.
The Home Owners Association Board of Trustees writes letters to the Camp Meeting Association Trustees advising them of the HOAs stand on these issues.
HOA President Francis Paladino said, This motion is out of order, as this would be telling us how to run our business. This motion is not consistent with the mission of the home owners association, and it is not part of our mission to become entangled in this issue.
Several members agreed, stating their opinion that the home owners associations mission is to deal with quality of life, property maintenance, and other related issues, but not topics of this nature.
HOA Trustee Herb Herbst said, I find this motion unnecessary. We have to support the Constitution, and we have always supported civil rights.
A membership vote was taken and passed on the first resolution. Paladino said, It isnt necessary to write letters to the Camp Meeting Association or advertise in newspapers.

Something to focus on in defense of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association’s fight against gay rights is “The Manmade Second Coming Of Christ Battle For The Earth” Ebay listing # 220137562025. This book offers complete explanations as to how and why terrorists and homosexuals are actively attacking the phenomenon of mankind’s faith in God for control of the Earth. It also explains why the Presidential Candidate demonstrating the closest relationship with God, the immediate answer to the Country’s problems is going to be the next U.S. President.
This homosexual attack on the boardwalk pavilion is yet another example of religious organizations failing to unite and stand firm against the aberrations of gay rights. Why haven’t the numerous churches in the immediate area united in support against this gay rights advancement? Ironically, homosexuality has thoroughly exposed religious organizations for what they may really be—competitive vehicles for cleverly manipulating the populace out of their hard earned money in the name of God. If churches united and formed even a miniscule physicality of anti-gay alliance in defense of Mankind they could easily defeat God forsaken homosexuality.
But instead religious organizations generally go about their business of concealing their worse fears at any cost: Uniting and having to face a myriad of potential dispositions such as: How and which church denominations would then get what share of parishioner’s donations? Which denomination would get to direct the overall alliance? What location would become the official address for the alliance? Consequently, the non-union of religious organizations in this matter may mean that they are selling the Souls of civilization to the Devil, in a similar manner as the Catholic church knowingly and willfully for whatever reason ignored the selling of their parishioner’s Souls to the Devil through ignorance of homosexual priests molestation of young boys for decades.

For centuries prophets and historians have convinced Mankind that the “Third World War” would be fought in The Middle East with great-invented weapons of gargantuan mass destruction. Except, current events are revealing that the “Third World War” will be spiritual in nature and fought simultaneously by all nations around the world not with weapons of incredible mass destruction, but with words of incredulous multitude.
Based on the incredulous multitude of words written in my God inspired manuscript “The Manmade Second Coming Of Christ Battle For The Earth” listed for sale on Ebay # 220137562025 for an unprecedented one million dollars in order to generate the extreme publicity it needs to outdo the daily news stories dominated by terrorism in the name of God and gay marriage, this spiritual Third World War of Good Vs Evil has already started and has been subsistent for telltale decades.
As humanity goes forth now into the valley of decision, I believe that God has at last designated the time and place for humanity to make a concrete stand against the blatant ongoing assaults of gay rights on Mankind. It appears to me that the Camp meeting Association’s refusal to surrender the sacred boardwalk pavilion to the advancement of homosexuality may be God’s decisive battle in this spiritual war of Good Vs. Evil, and under no circumstances whatsoever can the Camp meeting Association undermine God and religious faith by allowing the civil unions to take place.
Subsequently, as per “The Manmade Second Coming Of Christ Battle For The Earth” the tenacious fight anticipated to now arise in the matter of civil unions VS The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association taking place in New Jersey, is about to trigger the chain reaction God has unleashed to extend from state to state and culminate at the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections.
