Washington state pastor calls upon Christians to take on Microsoft

A Washington state pastor says it's time for Christians to take a biblical stance against pro-homosexual policies at Microsoft.

Ken Hutcherson is pastor of Antioch Bible Church, in Redmond -- also the home of computer giant Microsoft. Pastor Hutcherson attended the recent meeting of Microsoft shareholders, and promised to form a coalition of Christians that will buy shares in the company and then reverse what he says are anti-family policies. Last year, Microsoft publicly supported legislation in Washington state favoring special rights for homosexuals.

Now, Pastor Hutcherson believes Microsoft can be turned around if Christians become unified. "One person, and another person buying shares and another person buying shares equals to 100,000 shares very quickly," he explains. "Then that equals a million shares, and that million shares equals to a ten million share, and that ten million shares equals to a 100 million share. Don't ever underestimate the power of that one vote as long as we're unified."

Hutcherson believes he can rally Christians to purchase 100 million to 300 million shares of the company, then to bring a resolution to counter the company's pro-homosexual policies. "And we, as stockholders, are going to take a vote to say we do not want our company stepping outside their four walls pushing this agenda," he says. "And it's going to be absolutely amazing how that's going to work -- just watch and see."

The former Dallas Cowboys linebacker built Antioch Bible Church from a Bible study class of 15 people in 1984.

Brother,

I think there is a better and more permanent solution - can Microsoft completely and go to Linux. Many have already done this, and I'm one of them. I really think that buying Microsoft stock would simply keep them strong to keep doing many things that are obviously wrong. Many customers are just now beginning to discover what Microsoft is doing to them. Their tactics with customers are becoming a bigger abuse by the day, and other operating systems can compete with them. The BIG SECRET is that much of their competition is FREE!
