 Daniel Parker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was in Illinois that Parker would enter politics, stir the foreign missionary controversy, and develop a form of doctrine that would isolate him from many of his brethren, while eventually creating a small Baptist sub-group.
They remained in agreement in their opposition to missionary societies, tract societies, Bible societies, Sunday schools, and theological seminaries.
For many Baptists, this consisted of whether auxiliary missionary organizations usurped the authority of the local church.

 Anti-Missionary Web Site
If missionaries are going to trust the words of the rabbis that the curse upon Jeconiah was reversed, although nowhere is this fact stated in the Bible, then they must therefore concede that the God-given authority of the rabbis is equal to the words of the Bible.
One of the numerous problems that missionaries are confronted with regard to Matthew's genealogy of Jesus is the well-known curse upon a descendant of King David.
In essence, by relying on this statement in the Talmud missionaries are acknowledging that Jesus' death on the cross was completely unnecessary for the atonement and salvation of mankind.

Viewed by Forum 18, the text of the Magadan draft turns out to be identical to that of the Belgorod law, with the exception of a provision ruling that missionary activity among northern native peoples "should not violate legal norms on the preservation of their culture, ethnic, linguistic and religious distinctiveness".
Kursk region's new missionary law would also appear to be unenforced, since local senior Baptist pastor Gennadi Likhikh told Forum 18 on 2 July that he was certain it had not been passed.
Approximately one third of Russia's 89 provincial governments enacted laws on missionary activity between 1993 and 1997, in which year the federal law on religion superseded them.

The long-range goal of the missionary is to apply a variety of mental, and sometimes even material means to convince the target that Christianity is the only true religion for that individual to achieve salvation ("to be saved").
A: When missionary activity is identified, you would definitely be doing a great deed by either confronting it head-on (if you feel you can), or reporting it to an organization or individual who can handle it.
The Christian missionary is therefore inspired by a text that inspires religious intolerance.

 Ukrainian Jews claim victory after Jews for Jesus given the boot
Jewish activists said their sole goal is to unmask the true intentions of missionary groups that try to pass for legitimate Jewish organizations and take advantage of the low level of Jewish knowledge among Jews in the former Soviet Union.
The ban on the proselytizing campaign organized by the missionary group and a local Protestant church came after fierce protests by the Jewish community in the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk, although Jewish activists deny they asked the authorities to halt the campaign.
Still, he admits that many Jews did speak to the missionaries and were lured into reciting the "prayer of repentance," without being told that the missionaries consider this equivalent to baptism.

 God Wars
This is not an argument against conversion itself; Buddhism for example has been a very successful missionary religion while avoiding these unethical tactics for most of its history; and every religion, even those that today restrict themselves to a single ethnic group, at one time had to spread from person to person.
An effort must be made to protest all unfair conversions that are based on force, or economic or social pressure, or a huge disparity in advertising budgets (including charity “bribes”).

 Their Hollow Inheritance
Many missionary cults use psychological indoctrination or "brainwashing" techniques to obtain their quotas.
Therefore, I wholeheartedly urge that Their Hollow Inheritance, which is encyclopedic in scope, be as widely distributed as possible, for only the knowledgeable are immune from this missionary onslaught.
For even after a superficial reading of missionaries' textual "proofs" within context, one sees that their doctrines are founded solely upon misquotations and mistranslations of Hebrew Scripture.

Four different missionary organizations were driven out of the Russian Fair by anti-missionary activists, but they were still able to spread their poison to many Jews before they were finally driven out.
This is important because Russian Jews are the #1 target of deceptive Christian missionary cults.
Had the missionaries not been counter-leafleted and thrown out, they might have been able to target many vulnerable Jews for conversion to their beliefs.

 School apologizes for burning New Testament
Spector ruled that missionary material should be burned, but it is the sole responsibility of the owner to burn it and the burning should take place in private.
The teacher said that if missionary material were found in the school again, it would be thrown into the garbage rather than publicly burned, said Lesnick.
He cited traditional and modern rabbis, including Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, who wrote that he had burned missionary texts, which he called "books of incitement and brainwashing." Such burning is permissible even if the texts include the name of God, Spector said.

 Spinning Straw: Anti-Missionary Mishegoss—a Rosen (father and daughter) editorial - Jews for Jesus
No missionary in his right mind would begin with a leading question like that because the only answer could be "yes" or "no." If the answer is "yes," then it should be the rabbi who's doing the witnessing, because he knows Christ.
The piece is entitled, "An Exchange with a Missionary" in which a rabbi purports to have had a conversation with a Jews for Jesus missionary.
But the rabbi goes on with his (most likely) fictional account, whereby he makes the missionary look stupid by using the issue of Heaven and Hell against the backdrop of those who were innocent and those who were guilty in the Holocaust.

 White Unto Harvest: Russia: Belgorod Applies Anti-Missionary Law ~ Steve Wallace
Residents of other Russian regions intending to carry out missionary activity in Belgorod must also submit to the local authorities a document confirming their affiliation to a particular religious organization, a copy of their invitation to the region, an itinerary of their stay, and proof of local registration.
Unlike many similar local laws in Russia, "On Missionary Activity on the Territory of Belgorod Region" is not just confined to foreign citizens, although they are specifically prohibited from conducting missionary activity if they have come to Belgorod for a different reason.
According to Keston News Service, a Pentecostal church was denied permission for public events in the city center in April as an official claimed the possible presence of children without written permission of their parents meant the events would violate the law, although the Orthodox had no problems holding public Easter celebrations with children present.

 Religious Liberty Update
Various factual distortions also served to exaggerate the "missionary threat." For example, the program claimed that there are several thousand Ethiopian Messianic Jews in Israel.
These images, selected by the producers of the report, engendered shock and revulsion on the part of the average Israeli viewer and certainly served to galvanize public opinion against the "missionaries" who allegedly promote what would be seen as pagan/cultic activities among the ignorant and susceptible immigrant population.
Reality is that there are only about 400 Ethiopian believers and their assemblies reflect an African Pentecostal tradition that is quite distinct from the mainstream Messianic Jewish community here.

 The Deceit of "Anti-Missionaries"
That's why I decided to create my own ANTI anti-missionary website - so that Jews who do choose to believe that Yeshua is Messiah/G-d won't have to feel as if they are dirt beneath the feet of their fellow unbelieving Jews.
Why should a Jewish believer have to hide his belief, or risk being "ex-communicated," as it were, just because he's "seen the light?" Some anti-missionary websites actually accuse us of being a cult.

 Latest News on Anti-Missionary Bill
Clearly, one of Gafni's primary goals in the above declaration is to convince his fellow legislators that a law forbidding "missionary activity" per se is already on the books (which is not the case) and that the present bill simply extends the accepted principle to a particular set of media.
A bill was introduced by MK Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism) before the present Knesset recess, which would prohibit missionary activity and the dissemination of missionary material, such as soliciting to change one's religion by means of mail, fax, E-mail, or other instruments of communication.
In it he justifies the necessity for the proposed legislation by noting the activities of "missionary cults", using a buzzword for believers in Yeshua which carries a strong negative emotional connotation.

The only thing that we do as anti-missionaries, that is as dangerous to ourselves as the people we are trying to help, is separate ourselves into segregated groups of Jews who are accepted to be "real" and Jews who aren't.
