  The Tacoma Convention made the news under the headline "Baptism of faithful at Tacoma Dome" by Martha Modeen; The News Tribune.

  One interesting passage reads: "This weekends gathering attracted a few of the sect's opponents. One local group posted about a dozen signs outside the Tacoma dome challenging the faith's teachings. Church members paid little attention, even to a woman with a bullhorn barking out scriptural denunciations of their teachings."

  "We recognize people are going to disagree with us," Blondheim said.

  Interesting that all of a sudden, they are getting such great press. Do you think maybe someone could be calling the Religion Editor and requesting such articles? But, I couldn't help but notice next to the article was this little ditty of a notice;

  The News Tribune, KPLU Public Radio and KCTS Public Television want to know: What should be done to protect the public from dangerous parolees and minimize lawsuits?

  Too bad they didn't slip in pedophiles in their notice too.
