So typical. They never go out of their way to help anyone. Australia has strict laws about discrimination and safety.

Child Shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses International Convention, Melbourne, Australia (17-19 October 2014)
by jwleaks indocuments and media releases relating to the shunning and discrimination of a special needs child by jehovahs witnesses in relation to the melbourne international convention, 17-19 october 2014. the following documents and press release were received by jw leaks in relation to the jehovahs witnesses international convention at etihad stadium, melbourne, australia.
it is understood that due to last minute information in relation to the administration and control of the first aid health services at the convention the following press documents had not been released to the media.. prior to publishing and releasing the following sensitive information, the members of the team at jw leaks made formal inquiries with the victorian workcover authority (vwa) and the administrators of etihad stadium (melbourne stadiums limited) as to whether measures have been put in place to prevent the jehovahs witnesses and watchtower bible and tract society of australia from operating any first aid health services and first aid department in alleged breach of applicable health and safety laws.. we were assured that the jehovahs witnesses will no longer have control of the first aid management at the event but that st john ambulance first aid officers will be on site for each of the three days.
it is our understanding that this was done for the purpose of protecting the health and safety of all 70,000 daily patrons and delegates attending the convention.

8TH KING RISING
by CharlieSmith1975 inper jws the un is the scarlet-colored wild beast that becomes the 8th king just before armageddon.
it is interesting to see how the un is becoming more and more an authority in the world with obama clearly the leader and supporter of globalism.
plus obama is always saying "peace and security.

The org uses "Emotional entrapment and manipulation" rather than factual substance....
by stuckinarut2 inhave you noticed just how much the org is now appealing to "emotions" rather than facts?.
we used to be told that worshiping god has an element of emotion involved of course, but that the primary motivation should be logical truth.
now though, they seem to be highlighting the "fluff" rather than the substance!.

That is true. Like I say, most Muslims are just normal people living normal lives without intent to harm or condemn anyone. I just don't feel able to engage in a highly religious environment yet, so I will keep working at non- religious government schools for now. There will always be other opportunities.

True. After so many years in the jw cult where i made decisions that WEREN'T in my best interests I suppose I sometimes find it hard to identify decisions that are best for me. My gut tells me to keep doing what i'm doing even though the Islamic school would have been a solid opportunity for professional advancement. And while I have no problem with Muslims as all the Muslims I've met have been good people, I much prefer the government schools the students there are given religious freedom. As a teacher I have to respect diversity and be flexible for certain kids and respect their diverse viewpoints and cultures, it is different to having all one culture that is very different to mine. They would be better off with a Muslim teacher if they want to segregate the boys and girls, do prayers and ablutions and observe their traditions.
There are Muslim students in my current government schools of employment and they are free to do their prayers and eat halal. There are Mormons, Catholics and Buddhists too, and as a teacher I respect their views but the majority of students are not religous. Maybe 90% of kids don't care about religion in government schools. 80% probably don't care about it in Christian schools because like i said, Australians are not religious people. I prefer to be in an enviroment of religious freedom.
I feel less anxious now so I know it's the right decision. The last few years have been so topsy-turvy and I've not even been out of the cult two years. It's been only 19 months since my last jw meeting. I've also had many jobs in that time and I've finally gotten into the groove of my current one so I feel it's best to settle into it for now as I'm just not ready for another change.
