I certainly feel your pain.  However I'd be more concerned if they
wanted to implant chips or tattoo our children.  These are signs that we
are getting ever closer to the times mentioned in the Bible.  I'm sure
many point can be brought up in regard to Biblical warnings on this
subject, but there are also examples where others were very flexible to
the request of society.  Such as the name change: "to Hananiah,
Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego." Yet they did
not bend on eating the royal food.  Ultimately our freedom to spread the
Good News still stands.
