Five Doves, Donna Danna (27 Oct 2024) One of the older and more well-known private schools in Australia is Methodist Ladies’ College in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, founded in 1882. As the name indicates, it was originally a Methodist school, following in the tradition of Methodism’s founder, the evangelical Christian John Wesley (1703-1791). It seems pretty clear that not only is it no longer following the values and beliefs of Wesley, but it is no longer following the values and beliefs of Jesus Christ. A quick look at their website shows us nothing about Christ, and everything about trendy woke values. Students at Methodist Ladies College say they were told to remove cross necklaces at the Christian school for fear of offending other students. Pupils at a leading religious private girls’ school are allowed to wear furry ears, tails and rainbow-themed items, but not Christian religious crosses for fear of offending others, students say. Senior students at Methodist Ladies College in Kew have spoken up about what they say is “religious discrimination” against the open display of crosses on a necklace at the Christian school. One student who spoke to the Herald Sun on behalf of a small group of year 12s said girls are told to “take off their crosses by teachers when other students complain they are offensive to non-Christians”. “My friend was wearing a cross and there was another girl in our class who said she found the cross really offensive and so the teacher told her to take it off,” she said. “My friend’s parents, who are very religious, tried to get answers from the school and were told ‘it’s not a good look for the school’. “This is supposed to be a religious school but they are listening to minority opinion rather than mainstream religious students,” she said. Students have called the move against the open display of crosses ‘religious discrimination’. Hmm, the cross is of course the premier symbol of the Christian faith, but this once Christian institution does not want it to be seen anywhere. But radical homosexual signage and symbols seem to be peachy keen. One does not have to look far on their site to see that it is now a proudly secular and politically correct outfit. Oh dear. Hey, if they want to be just like any other worldly and non-Christian institution, they have a right to go that route. But then they should drop all pretence about being a Methodist school, let alone a Christian school. The first thing it should do of course is to drop the word “Methodist.” All they are now doing is pushing false advertising while living off the school’s former heritage and prestige as an important private Christian school. No real deal Methodist or any other biblical Christian could ever condone or accept the values that it now affirms and celebrates. ... it should stop pretending that it has anything whatsoever in common with John Wesley and his vital movement of centuries ago. Shame on you MLC. Five Doves, Donna Danna (27 Oct 2024) The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to reverse the firing of a fire chief who lost his job in Stockton, California, because he attended an assigned leadership conference. City officials apparently were enraged because the conference was in a church building. First Liberty Institute has announced it, and others, have joined to ask the Supreme Court for a review of the case involving fire chief Ron Hittle. "It is a tragic day for religious liberty in America when someone can be fired because they attend an event that includes religious perspectives," said Stephanie Taub, a lawyer for First Liberty Institute. The institute explained that Stockton officials fired Hittle after 24 years of service "because he attended a leadership conference hosted at a church. Although the city requested Chief Hittle attend a leadership training course of his choice, it later opened an investigation after he attended Willow Creek Church's Global Leadership Summit, a world-class conference with speakers from a variety of religious and non-religious backgrounds." Speakers at that conference historically have included Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and Bill Clinton. "The city listed Chief Hittle's attendance at a 'religious event' while on duty as the primary reason for his termination," the legal team explained. Five Doves, KS Rajan: Worldcoin is now called “World” – so good luck (re)searching that online. Still, “world” combined with the concept of “proof of personhood” and Altman’s name should return some interesting results. What we already know is that World(coin) works by hoovering up people’s most sensitive, unique biometric data, particularly that contained in their eyes. The original idea was to incentivize people to participate by offering some crypto change in return. But now, the focus is reported to have moved away from that (apparently failed) direction to producing iris-scanning devices. The task of those is still “proof of personhood” – tech that provides digital ID. And a recent event held in San Francisco heard all about it. Tools for Humanity presented a new version of “Orbs” – a tool designed to scan people’s eyeballs (irises) in order to identify them. There is a big push from various corners around the globe right now to usher in digital ID, and it’s no wonder various companies – however, they choose to obfuscate it – are positioning themselves for those incoming “base infrastructure” contracts. [I recently travelled outside of the U.S. and airports are scanning people's faces/eyes with tiny cameras. They don't make a big deal about it. "Just look at the camera, please."] Do you believe America is going to reap from God, as Israel did when they turned their backs on Him. I believe this election coming up with Harris, is America's turning point. Harris told these young men as they said, Jesus is Lord, to go to a smaller group, their were not welcome at her rally. We are about to reap our sins if she is voted in. God help us to realize God is not playing a game with us, we make decisions everyday and Jesus must be first. Jesus is coming and we must be ready and watching. Israel “provoked the LORD to anger because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths. In his anger against Israel the LORD handed them over to raiders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist” (Judges 2: 12b-14) I pray that we do not turn our backs on Him. I pray that correct choices are made in this election. @patrician When I heard her say such a thing to 2 young men of our country who are against abortion and love Jesus, I cried for this country. America is turning for the worse, we have to stop doing abortions, changing genders on children and love Israel again. I believe Harris doesn't know who Jesus is and God's wrath is coming for this country. Come Jesus Come
We must put God first, not the world. Put on your door, This house is covered by Jesus Blood, we put God first.
