On April 12, Bibb says, she received a letter from the Centerville city clerk, stating that her business violates City Ordinance Section 6-1, "Fortunetelling and similar practices prohibited." The clerk told her to close down her business, she says.

Bibb says the letter stated: "A review of your business license application, filled out by you, describes your business as a 'wellness center/bookstore.' Had you disclosed the entire nature of your business at the time you applied for a license, any lack of awareness, or misunderstanding of the applicable city ordinance could have been cleared up." “I’m not allowed to practice spiritualism. No meditation, no prayer, no healing circles…I can’t do any of that.” Bibb told the Sun News.Failure to comply with the city ordinance could allow Centerville to close Bibb's store.  Bibb could also face penalties of up to 60 days in jail, if she continues to charge customers for her services.Centerville, GA Mayor John Harley, supports the city’s decision. He charges that Energy Among Us is in violation of city ordinances, and the store's business license is for a wellness center/bookstore, not psychic readings. City officials also believe that Ms. Bibb did not use full disclosure when she applied for her business license.In addition to trying to save her business, Courtney Bibb believes she also needs to take a stand for religious freedom. She is fearful that the city ordinance could be used to persecute any religious or spiritual beliefs that city leaders deem to be inappropriate.Energy Among Us is located at: 100 N.

Subject: Where Practicing Spiritual Beliefs Can Land You In Jail!!!!!



Houston County may call itself ?Georgia?s most progressive county,? but
practicing your spiritual beliefs in the Centerville city limits, may land you
in jail.
Courtney Bibb, owner of Energy Among Us, a spiritual bookstore, gift shop, and
wellness center in Centerville, GA, is being threatened by the city to stop
illegal activities taking place in her store.
No, these activities don?t involve drugs, prostitution or gambling. According to
Bibb, a former Macon police officer, she is being targeted for practicing her
religious beliefs. Her store is accused of violating Centerville?s archaic
ordinance, outlawing the practice of psychic reading, fortune telling, palm
reading, and other spiritual activities.
In a certified letter from the city of Centerville, Ms. Bibb was notified that
her business was operating illegally.
Ms. Bibb who runs a "spiritual wellness" business claims the City of Centerville
is running her out of town because of an unconstitutional ordinance that
prohibits "fortunetelling, phrenology, astrology, clairvoyance, palmistry,
spiritualism or other kindred practices, businesses or professions where a
charge is made or a donation is accepted for the services."
Courtney Bibb says she secured a business license and the mayor attended the
ribbon-cutting for her shop, Energy Among Us, in February.
Plaintiff operates a business that focuses on spiritual wellness," Bibb says in
her federal complaint. "Plaintiff sells books, candles, incense, crystals, tarot
cards, angel cards, and other items relating to spiritual wellness and healing.

In addition, plaintiff offers various services related to spiritual wellness,
including tarot card readings or therapy, or therapy, palm reading, group
meditation, group energy healing, chakra or energy alignment, reflexology,
reiki, dream interpretation, and crystal ball readings."

Apparently, things went well The Macon Telegraph ran a story about her in its
March 28 edition. The article mentioned a Mind, Body and Spirit Expo that Bibb
plans to host this Saturday. This expo will include "sessions and demonstrations
on meditation techniques, life coaching, organic gardening and soap making, drum
circles, tai chi and reflexology."

On April 12, Bibb says, she received a letter from the Centerville city clerk,
stating that her business violates City Ordinance Section 6-1, "Fortunetelling
and similar practices prohibited." The clerk told her to close down her
business, she says.


Bibb says the letter stated: "A review of your business license application,
filled out by you, describes your business as a 'wellness center/bookstore.' Had
you disclosed the entire nature of your business at the time you applied for a
license, any lack of awareness, or misunderstanding of the applicable city
ordinance could have been cleared up."
?I?m not allowed to practice spiritualism. No meditation, no prayer, no healing
circles?I can?t do any of that.? Bibb told the Sun News.
Failure to comply with the city ordinance could allow Centerville to
close Bibb's store. Bibb could also face penalties of up to 60 days in jail, if
she continues to charge customers for her services.
Centerville, GA Mayor John Harley, supports the city?s decision. He charges
that Energy Among Us is in violation of city ordinances, and the store's
business license is for a wellness center/bookstore, not psychic readings. City
officials also believe that Ms. Bibb did not use full disclosure when she

They've been working for years (decades!) on ramming the Codex through. I depend on my health supplements since unfortunately we can't get all the necessary nutrients from our food any more. It hasn't been passed in Canada yet, but it's only a matter of time I'm sure.

The idea is to give big pharma carte blanche. Bottom line? Sick people are easier to control ...
