  Jehovah's Witness already suing Boston over Covid-19 policies files second suit

  by Tahoe in

  a boston police officer who is already part of a suit seeking millions of dollars in damages from boston over its rescinded indoor vaccination requirements today filed a separate suit seeking at least another $2 million because the city fired him last month after rejecting his request for a religious exemption from covid-19 vaccinations.. in his new suit, filed today in suffolk superior court, saviel colon said the city forced him into a "hobson's choice" even though it knew he was a jehovah's witness when it hired him and he began working as a police officer in december, 2019 - and even though he filed all the paperwork the department required for a religious exemption.

  colon says the city rejected his exemption request and put him on an unpaid leave in october, 2021, and then fired him last month.. in addition to the "financial and emotional distress" - including headaches, exhaustion and sleeplessness_ - he says he's suffered, colon adds:.

  defendant's decision on disciplinary action was embarrassing and was made publicly in front of all his colleagues at the police station.. .

  I’m confused, too. The fact of being a gun carrying police officer, and refusing a vaccination that the organization encourages all witnesses to get. 😏

  How Satan used the United States government in the 1950's to create 'new light'.

  'legal concerns seem to be a factor behind the watchtower society reversing its position and allowing vaccinations from the 1950's.'.

  "the matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself... and our society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally or take the responsibility for the way the case turns out.

  " watchtower 1952 dec 15 p.764.

  My mom has a small scar on her leg, from a mark put there by an osteopath to simulate a vaccination. 🤷‍♀️

  if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

  as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.

  do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.

  Beth, they told people it was commendable if they sold their homes to live off the proceeds till the big A. At that time, they made a lot of money on sales of literature. Since the literature is now free, that is when they started guilting people into giving money. Either way, they were after money. Charlatans, they belong in prison.

  Maybe, no more elders, just someone to order literature and distribute it. Everything will become a “conscience matter”. So, avoiding holidays, blood transfusions, flag salute, etc. you could just use the conscience matter ‘get out of jail free’ card. No more disfellowshipping, just give money. JMHO

  Dirt floors in Africa, Ultra modern Towers in Indonesia

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  matthew 19:21. jesus said to him, “if you will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.”.

  jw family tanzania - bukombe kingdom hall.

  nothing like attending your local kingdom hall in africa with dirt floors, tarps as a roof, brutal heat with no air-conditioning, and small wooden benches to sit on after a hard days work.. does the society help this congregation in africa with a suitable kingdom hall that would have the local members more comfortable with these unbearable conditions?.
