Officials Beg Pastor, Strip Club Owner to End Feud

COSHOCTON, Ohio — Sep 14, 2014, 8:47 PM ET



In this Sunday, Aug. 22, 2010 photo, Pastor Bill Dunfee, left, of New Beginnings Ministries Church, greets supporters of The Fox Hole strip club as they protest against his church in Warsaw, Ohio.

Officials are pleading for a pastor and an Ohio strip club owner to stop weekly protesting of each other's establishments over a years-long feud.

The Coshocton Tribune reports the letter to New Beginnings Ministries Pastor Bill Dunfee and strip club owner Thomas George was signed by the city law director, the county prosecutor and the sheriff.

Dunfee and men from the Warsaw church have protested outside the Foxhole North strip club in New Castle. The business has responded with Sunday morning protests outside the church, including a recent one by topless dancers.

The letter says the feud is straining local law enforcement and hurting the community but acknowledges they can't legally be stopped from protesting.

Each man has made allegations against the other, but authorities haven't prosecuted those cases.

They tried to put a strip joint in Destin. The community protested it big time. The city bought out the property/owner. Cost over a million dollars.

Anyone want to bet that the church began the conflict by protesting first? I mean, those wholesome young ladies are just trying to put themselves through college.

How asinine of both groups.....

Sounds to me like the church doesn't want to take a chance of members straying from the fold.
Ditto for the strip club.

Women from an Ohio strip club took their tops off Sunday morning to protest a Christian church that has allegedly been trying to undermine their business.
The Foxhole North women were part of a group of protesters filmed by WBNS carrying signs in front of New Beginnings Church.
Members from the Warsaw church 'do everything they can to keep the customers from going in,' Thomas George, owner of The Foxhole North, told MailOnline. 'They ask, "Does your wife know where you're at? Does your mother know where you're at? Does your sister know where you're at?'

'[They tell customers] "We're taking pictures of your license plate, we're taking video and posting it to the web,"' he said.
Those photos and videos once appeared on the now-defunct stopthefox.com, George said. He said he believes they currently appear on a different Christian website.

George also alleged the churchgoers call his female employees 'w*****.'
Despite the women being half-naked, The Coshocton Tribune reported they 'were not a major spectacle, as only a few people turned out to watch for a few minutes.'
However, a protester in support of The Foxhole North was filmed engaging in a heated exchange with a parishioner.
'Love is the answer and you don't have it baby. God is love,' a protester said.
A New Beginnings member replied, 'Ma'am, you know nothing about love. You know plenty about lust. You know plenty about sex, but you know nothing about love.'

New Beginnings Pastor Paul Dunfee 'puts a very different face on than when he is [in front of people he thinks are important,' George said, calling New Beginnings 'a cult.'
'I'm sorry that this has come to this and I'm sorry that we've had to come to this extreme measure,' he said.
Meanwhile, Dunfee told WBNS 'I hope [George] will realize that the Foxhole has no business in this community.'
George alleged that two Tier 1 sex offenders were members of New Beginnings church when his strip club protested the church in 2010.
He also claimed to have once been threatened by one churchgoer, who told him 'I could take you out from a half-mile away with my rifle.'
George said he has tried to file 'numerous charges' against New Beginnings, but that 'the city law director refused to do anything [...] and has been on their side and advising them.'
New Beginnings could not be immediately reached for comment by MailOnline.

Could you imagine a choir filled with young topless hotties? That church would have so many butts in the seats they'd have to put in more.

Wait, Al Bundy already did that.

Sounds to me like the church needs to STFU and worry about themselves rather than pushing their views on everybody else. You don't like it? Don't go. If enough people don't like it, it will go out of business.

I have no doubt that these exact same people would be the first to jump up and down complaining about anybody who they thought was being intolerant of THEM.

Peaceful protesting doesn't seem to be doing any good. Maybe they should have a few beheadings, to get better results.

I'd go with floggings and crucifixions.

You have to pay extra in the VIP room for that kind of service.
