There are so many wrongs in the world and there always have been. We'll just ignore # 47, as the world is learning to do. Sadly the despot can't be ignored in his own country as the actions of a crazy man continue, and sadly his actions are affecting the world.
Each day I wake to listen to the radio news with dread at #47 news and it just keeps coming, such as portraying the Obamas as apes. If he didn't do it himself, he employs people who have such an astonishing mindset. that they would even think such a thought. I am not keen on insulting women by calling them bitches, but that is clearly what his press secretary is, one Karoline Leavitt, and a stupid bitch for that matter. If it was a man, I'd call him a bastard.
I'd better get to the point, that's the Plymouth Brethren cult, as our right honourable Prime Minister has called it. But he has done nothing about removing the cult's faux status as a religion, and hence it is able to receive tax exemptions for its various large income streams.
You can do your own research about the evils of this 'church', but let me assure you, I've followed the reporting about this cult for many years in great detail, and it is a baddun.
The members of the cult were called to arms to support the conservative party at the last election, whereby they aggressively harassed people at polling booths, as I experienced myself when I voted. Normally the interaction between opposing party supporters who hand out how to vote cards is friendly banter. It was not so this time. Tension sat over the queue of those lining up to vote.
So, you get what the Brethren is about, and don't underestimate its power.
But hey, it has charity arm, the Rapid Relief Team, that turns up at national disasters to help, in what manner I am not sure that is not already done by locals, governments and fantastic Sikhs who just feed people, and yes perhaps attempting to ingratiate themselves into Australian society. They are going the right way about it.
From The Age:
The Exclusive Brethren’s Australian-based charity, the Rapid Relief Team, is suing a former member who escaped the church aged 17 after what she says was years of childhood sexual abuse.
has complained to police in her home town in Canada that she was sexually abused between the ages of about three and 12 by an elder of what’s now known as the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.
produced a podcast on YouTube called Get a Life: Ex-Cult Conversations. The podcast focuses on what they say is widespread abuse and mistreatment within the church, which is run out of Sydney by so-called “Man of God” Bruce Hales.
Now the Rapid Relief Team (RRT), the church’s public-facing charity, alleges Bawtinheimer infringed its copyright in some of those videos. The Brethren charity is demanding a jury trial in California, unspecified financial damages, and that a number of Bawtinheimer’s videos be taken down.
I am not a fan of organized religion of any kind that demands so much control over the lives of it's people.
