Officials in Warsaw, Ohio have grown tired of weekly protests going on between a pastor and a strip club owner, and are now pleading on the two to stop their feud which has been on for almost a year now.

The city law director, country prosecutor, and town sheriff have sent letters to Pastor Bill Dunfee of the New Beginnings Ministries, and to Thomas George, owner of Foxhole North strip club. According to the Coshocton Tribune, the letter has stressed that the weekly protests are straining local law enforcement resources and hurting the community. But since the two can't be legally stopped from holding protests, the officials are appealing to them to end their differences.

County Sheriff Tim Rogers noted that every time a protest happens, sponsored by either the church or the strip club, he had to assign officers to make sure the protests will not get out of hand. Due tp this, the officers assigned are being stripped of valuable hours that could be used for more serious calls.

Protests by Dunfee together with his church members have been frequently witnessed outside the Foxhole North strip club in New Castle, Ohio.

In response, the strip club employees and suppoters hld regular protests during Sunday morning mass. The most recent protest featured topless dancers who rallied in front of the church.

The topless dancers - Elizabeth Smith and Brittany Johnson - held signs that included verses from the bible specifically Matthew 6:44-45. Both women wore short shorts and brassieres only, exposing a reasonable amount of skin.

Dunfee and George have been filing complaints against each other but the authorities have not arraigned any of the cases. The latest cases were from last Friday when Dunfee was arrested due to tresspassing. Dunfee, on the other hand, filed an assault complaint against the strip club owner as he claims that he was repeatedly shoved. 

Both charges have been dropped. Now, Coshocton Law Director Bob Skelton noted that the protests are now becoming more escalated and is a cause for worry. 

George has said that he would stop his protests only if the church members stopped fencing his strip club on Fridays.
