26UNITY vs CONFORMITY - discuss.
by disposable hero of hypocrisy ini've read the walsh trial that indicates the societies stance of ' unity at all costs, even if we're wrong ' but that sounds more like conformity to me.
so how do other religions or movements justify the range of beliefs within their respective movements?
for example, the born again movement, a massive range of beliefs, but they don't insist on conformity.

Any one from Ireland? Happy St. Patrick's Day. How do you celebrate?
by Miss.Fit inhello all, i know st.patrick's day is about over.. i was just curious how many of you observed the holiday.
i live in the usa in the south west.
where i live we have a large population of native americans and hispanics.. so st.patrick's day is low key.. we wear green and talk about drinking green beer.. i started to wonder what a real celebration would entail.. i dressed as a lepercaun for story time..

Originaly the colour for st patrick was blue and green was considered unlucky

I just watched some footage of this case is it some pre trial going on? The judge and the lawyers have gowns on but they are not wearing the traditional wig.
It is very boring to watch give me Perry Mason anyday.
By the way Aficanman that cricket was spot on also winning was great.

I would ask him for a discount on the job he has done for you and explain it is because he shunned you as part of the service to you. Make him pay for his actions.

Is the WT a 501[c][3] incorporated non profit
by barry inthe reason i ask is because from what i have heard the sda church is of this statis.
because of the 5013c in the sdas there are certain laws which will effect the church now and into the future such as .
no discrimination for homosexuality and any court case would be lost in favour of a homosexual if they felt they were being discriminated against.

Gday Blondie, I thought you Americans would be up to date on these matters more than I am. I got the information from an Independant SDA minister and I know many of them are more than a bit crazy and live and sleep conspiracy theorys. Barry

No discrimination for homosexuality and any court case would be lost in favour of a homosexual if they felt they were being discriminated against. There is allready a large group of homosexual and transgender in the church from the 1970s that are members of SDA kinship.
Another area of discrimination is womens ordination which is in conflict with the General conference the highest body even though other conferences have women ministers.
If cases are an lost it puts in jepardy the churches 501c3 statis and the church could be asked to pay taxes and back taxes from the time it was incorporated.
Im not sure if the information I have is correct as it is second hand or hearsay others here may throw some light on th esituation of the WT society and its statis
