rights seem to be everywhere nowadays.

say hello to someone in the wrong way and you've violated 101 of their human rights.

people imagine they have the right to all sorts of things - food, healthcare, housing, internet ... so many things are labelled basic rights and then you get onto their human rights - a favourite of the do-nothing bodies such as the un to declare.

Illinois Attorney General Sues Suburban Express For Alleged Discrimination, Harassment

By CHRISTINE HERMAN • APR 23, 2018

Suburban Express operates shuttles from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana campus to the Chicago suburbs and O’Hare airport. It also serves Illinois State University.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has announced a lawsuit against the private bus company Suburban Express for alleged human rights violations.

Madigan’s civil rights bureau had been investigating the company for possible violations of the Illinois Human Rights Act after an email was sent to customers in December saying they would find “passengers like you. You won’t feel like you’re in China when you’re on our buses.”

She said she found years of discriminatory practices, including findings that owner Dennis Toeppin relentlessly harassed customers involved in disputes and posted personal financial information of those who negatively reviewed his company.

“This is not a one-off," Madigan said. "This is a serious history—years long—of continued, repeated violations of our civil rights laws and our consumer protection laws.”

While true, You can't, nor should you, discriminate, and refuse to sell products you carry to someone based on their skin color or sexual orientation, you can, and you should be able to refuse to sell an item because you choose not to.

Just because you are a privately-owned company, DOESN'T mean you can violate civil rights laws and consumer protection laws because the business doesn't need to answer to anyone. ''Take your business somewhere else'' solution and harassing customers is a discriminatory practice.

Oh, here we come, again! Another person who is so religious and moral deciding who should have a ''right''get a marriage license. She refuses to issue a marriage license to gay couples(even though its legal in Kentucky) because of "God's authority.''

With her strong religious faith ( cough, cough), she forgets that she's been married four times and she should have been issued only one marriage license herself. What upstanding moral and religious code this woman has that she decides what "rights" she gets but what "rights" others get taken away. She has a right to marry 4 times without her rights to remarry taken away but somehow, she is on God's side against gay couples right to marry.

The Kentucky county clerk who refuses to issue marriage licenses to gay couples has been married four times herself.

Invoking “God’s authority,” Kim Davis denied marriage licenses to gay couples again Tuesday in direct defiance of the federal courts and vowed not to resign, even under the pressure of steep fines or jail.

But it's his right to choose what he sells and what he doesn't.

A moral and religious pharmacist should than object to filling other types of prescriptions for many reasons. A pharmacist who opposes assisted suicide may not want to fill a morphine prescription for a patient who has a painful terminal illness and wish to end his life.

A moral and religious pharmacist should than object to filling vicodin and other painkillers, sleeping pills, erectile dysfunction pills, antidepressants, and many other drugs.

At what point do moral and religious views become a violation of human rights?

Does a pharmacist have a right to fill a blood pressure prescription and not a birth control prescription because they find it morally and religiously objectionable? Pharmacists are employed to dispense drugs to patients, not become a moral standard bearer. What does it matter to them if I purchase condoms, hemorrhoid cream or stool softener?

I live in the state of Illinois and see this sign taped by the pharmacy drive-thru window....Please call this # if the pharmacist refuses to fill any birth control prescription.

Pharmacists Refusing to Fill Spark National Controversy

AUGUST 11, 2015

Only 8 states (California, Illinois, Nevada, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, and Wisconsin) have laws explicitly prohibiting medication refusals. Six states (Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, and South Dakota) have laws that specifically allow pharmacists to refuse to provide medications for religious or moral reasons.

None of the laws in the 6 states that allow medication refusals include provisions requiring pharmacists to refer patients or transfer prescriptions to another pharmacy.

Pharmacy industry associations such as the American Pharmacists Association have issued policies stating that pharmacists should fill all valid prescriptions or transfer them to a pharmacist who can, according to the NWLC. Although these policies encourage pharmacists to check their personal beliefs at the door, the policies are not legally binding and are nothing more than recommendations.

Many major pharmacy chains also have policies in place that prohibit pharmacists from refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control, but some stores have “refuse and refer” policies. Like other retail store policies, a pharmacist’s failure to comply could result in discipline or, at worst, termination.

Birth control access advocates are urging supporters to petition their legislators and state pharmacy boards to pass laws that prohibit medication refusals. Pharmacists’ rights advocates, however, say that they should not be required to dispense drugs that they find morally or religiously objectionable.

Another Repetitive JW Public Talk: What's the Kingdom Doing For Us Now?

this young fool (who is probably a born-in ) is no older than 35 years of age.

i started attending meetings before he was even born.

little does he know that you and i and millions of others have listened to this same themed talk, ''what's the kingdom doing for us now,'' in 1972. .

Very similar to time share presentations, a repeat of same old benefits to newly recruited buyers who are unaware of prior gullible individuals who paid way too much for something they could get on e bay for $1. They are successful only because there is a constant flow of uneducated buyers .

The only reason I called th young man a fool was just like Betheliesalot wonderfully worded: another newly recruited and gullible Witness who doesn't realize that this JW Public talk has been given hundreds of times throughout its 140 year period. Just like a timeshare that needs new owners (who pay too much and have a hard time selling it later on), the WTBTS need new members who recite the same talk over and over.

Remember what Tony Morris said about his boys, in his interview, "they make US look good."

With my wife, Susan, and our sons, Paul and Jesse

Susan and I were blessed with two sons, Jesse and Paul. As they grew up, Jehovah was with them. (1 Sam. 3:19) Because they made the truth their own, they make Susan and me look good. They have continued to serve Jehovah because they have remembered their own first love for him. Each of them has been in full-time service for over 20 years. Also, I am proud of my two beautiful daughters-in-law, Stephanie and Racquel, whom I view as my own daughters. Both of my sons married spiritual women who love Jehovah God with all their heart and soul.—Eph. 6:6.

He states that by learning about the ''four horsemen'' in Revelation 6:1-15.... "You will see clear evidence that you an I are living in the last days.'' He goes on to ask, "When did the ''four horsemen" begin their ride? He answers..."1914"

This talk was probably given by Charles Crazed Russell in 1870s, Judge Slime Rutherfraud in the 1920s, and this young fool in 2018. And, I'm sure this same talk will be given many more decades from now.

Just like for-profit Corporations that strive to stay in business by any means, the WTBTS has been in business since the late 1870s.

How do you stay in business for so long: REPEAT AND RINSE. WAIT FOR MEMBERS TO LEAVE, DIE-OFF OR REMAIN IN, AND WAIT, AND WAIT, AND WAIT......... TAKE IN NEW MEMBERS AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.

Mark 13: 1-8 ...Not a composite sign/ two-fold prophecy scripture

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

this brother starts off with reading the following scriptures from the book of mark 13:1-8.

3 while he was sitting on the mount of olives across from the temple, peter, james, john, and andrew asked him privately, 4 “tell us, when will these things happen?

and what will be the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”.

I'm not a Bible scholar and my 40 years of learning false teachings and assumptions from the Watchtower Society took my thinking abilities away. Here are some questions I have:

How can one ''event'' have a two-fold prophecy and take 2000 years to come to a finality?

How can the destruction of a ''temple'' turn into the ''destruction of Armageddon''? How did Armageddon even get in the picture?

Did Jesus or any apostle writings ever mention an event such as ''Armageddon''?

Bobcat
An unbiased reading would place everything between verse 5 and verse 27 as something Jesus was predicting for (then) contemporary Jews.
Claiming that verses 5-27 must have a dual fulfillment is, in reality, an admission that they don't understand all of what Jesus was talking about.

After you read Mark 13 ( unbiased....after you leave the Watchtower Society mindset ) in full context, you finally begin to see how the Watchtower Society twists Mark 13:1-30.

Mark 13 was fulfilled (as you wrote): within Jesus's ''this generation,'' not as a dual fulfillment.
