a former public elementary school teacher who is a jehovah’s witness has filed a lawsuit against the suburban detroit school district where she used to work because, she claims, school officials ordered her to organize a classroom valentine’s day party and then sacked her because she refused.. people who belong to the jehovah’s witnesses, a millenarian christian sect, do not celebrate valentine’s day.
thus, the teacher, yvonne lemmons, is suing for religious discrimination, reports michigan live.. the defendant in the lawsuit is the southfield public school district in southfield, mich.. lemmons, 56, says in her lawsuit that she had been a fourth-grade teacher at macarthur university academy, a public magnet school, for 10 years and had faced no issues concerning her religious beliefs prior to the valentine’s day party kerfuffle..
So what did she do when Christmas rolls around?
There are many JW teachers and I've heard a few say they let their class plan the holiday parties, they just don't participate in it.
There was a case here in NYC about ten years ago when a teacher told a KIndergarten class there was no Santa Claus, I believe she was suspended for a while, or either lost her job. How dare a pompous Dub tell a bunch of five year olds there's no Santa Claus, like she could actually count that time or something.
from the time i was a small boy - i loved rock n' roll music.
beatles, rolling stones, led zeppelin, hendrix.
i started getting slighted for the music i listened to as i lay in my bedroom listening on headphones to led zeppelin's song " black dog " at age 14 with my elder dad looking suspiciously at me as i'm rocking out .
Didn't they announce back in the 80's at one of the assemblies that the Dubs should be careful of what they listen to? Because I remember a Sis that came of our house for the weekly Book Study said she was so proud of her son, she didn't even have to remind him to go through his music and he see what was demonic, he did it himself, such a proud JW mom . . . . ugh
yes - awake!
1994 may 22 p.2 youths who put god first (3-15).
"in former times thousands of youths died for putting god first.
That rag is from 1994, didn't they do something similar ten more years earlier? I know I remember reading separate stories of a child that had died because they're parents wouldn't let them take blood. Even if the words came out the childs mouth that they don't want blood because they're a JW, children can't sign contracts so their parents are the ones that allowed there children to be murdered, all because of seven old guys in Brooklyn who had the parents thinking they were doing it for Jehovah. Because of that alone I'm surprised some of their properties haven't been attacked for just the blood issue alone.
get this my sister and her elder husband are visiting from over seas and are currently being groomed by bethel how to set a better example.they are being told how to behave right down to how to dress to set a proper christian example.anyway they are both over weight by a fair margin to be considered unhealthy.the clincher is this elder whom is over weight had the outright cheek to counsel my other sister whom is a j dub that she is over weight and needs to do something about it.
now hows that for hypocritical behaviour.prime example in any ones book dont you think???
?
atomant - your sister and her husband are being set up for failure, they're letting COs and special pioneers go, have you shared that with her?
If they're being groomed sounds like they're going to be sent somewhere special or are they already on a special assignment?

I watched the whole thing just to see how they would throw in some scriptures on a video on puberty - smh
Was surprised to hear them mention if you're attracted to the same sex during puberty (which I have never heard of before by the way) to not be ashamed, surprised they didn't quote the scripture about men who lie/lay with other men.
i know this has been talked about to death but this week our loving faithful and discreet slave wrote a letter to all congregations in canada - keep 1500.00 a month in congregation expense account each month for the next three months coverage,(4500.00 in all) 5000.00 for any problems that may arise but send rest into them.
so aren't we lucky to have 9500.00 still left in the account!
the elder reading the letter indicated it was for the kingdom hall building work!!!.
I hope at least some of the brain dead,follow anything the Borg says Dubs read the NYTimes article about how they're about to take in between 850milin - 1Billion for the Brooklyn property and don't give them not one dime anymore.
dear friends:.
i imagine by now we old timers have adjusted to the fact that we are getting older and, one day, will make our exit.
are your "senior moments" ever a cause for worry to you?
Like James said looking for something in your home and can't remember, was going to share some more examples but I can't I remember.
last night, during our "christian life and ministry" meeting, we had a session on local needs.
elder opened the talk with a disclaimer saying that this was a reminder (cited psalms about how david loved jehovahs reminders).
he reminded us of how bless we are of having our own local assembly hall.
If you're collecting 1 Billion that should take care of some long term income in my opinion

$10 per pub? THey're gonna get between 850Million and 1Billion for their Brooklyn property according to the New York Times and they want ten dollar per publisher? How can they seriously ask for that with that article out their and you know the Dubs will read anything if it involves them so I"m sure they saw that article. If they still get the ten dollars from everyone then put me on the list of the GB so I can collect.
i just left three comments on over there on the article.
when it was first published on thursday it took a while for some comments to show up and when they did there just eleven, which stayed that way for a while.
i noticed today it's up to 43, so i responded to a few folks and left my own.
