R movies picketed by church United Press International WHEELER — Neither the minister of a fundamentalist church nor any of his flock may call, write or speak to the owner of a movie theater the church has been picketing because it shows R-rated films, a judge ordered. The Rev. Ricky Pfeil, without a lawyer, and Ed Knoll, owner of the Rogue Theatre in Wheeler — about 100 miles east of Amar illo — met in court Wednesday after Knoll’s lawyer filled a $500,000 damage suit against Pfeil for hurting his business. Judge Granger Mcllhany de clined to order a stop to the pick eting, but directed the church to send no more than four demon strators to the theater to pray and carry signs. Besides picketing, Pfeil, of the Christian Center, has paid for ads in the Wheeler Times denouncing Knoll for showing such films as “The World According to Carp” and “Blue Lagoon,” Knoll said. Knoll, who was a school teacher before he bought the theater in 1977, also complained that Pfeil was sending him let ters implying he was a non- Christian, an alcoholic and a liar. Knoll had a policy of not showing R-rated films until 18 months ago when, because he was losing money and “there was nothing else to show,” he began accepting more steamy material. “I simply believe it’s some thing Cod wanted me to do, to stand up against debauchery in our community,” Pfeil said. The judge indicated the suit probably will be tried in Feb ruary.
