"Elmbrook Church said it filed a restraining order against a former member out of fear for the safety of parishioners.The order stemmed from an incident earlier this month when Bill King showed up at Elmbrook Church speaking out against one of the pastors and the church's allowance of women to participate in conducting services.VIDEO:\u00A0Local church files a restraining order against a former member\u00A0King said he hasn't been served yet, but WISN 12 News reporter Hillary Mintz showed him the restraining order.\u00A0It alleges the conversation became so heated that an off-duty sheriff's deputy working as security had to intervene.That was followed up by an email from King that the church took as an implied threat.\"Are you a public threat?\" Mintz asked.\"No not at all. I am what you would say a person who takes a stand,\" King said.According to the temporary restraining order the church thinks King is a public threat, so it is using the order to keep him from coming into their church or being anywhere on the property.An email from a church representative said in part, \"It is not our practice to comment in a public venue on a matter such as this.\"The church and the Town of Brookfield police have dealt with King several times before, but police told WISN 12 News he's always cooperated and was never arrested.\"If they want me gone, that's fine,\" King said.King said he's ready for a new chapter in his life.There will be a hearing on the restraining order July 14.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
